Knowledgeable, Professional, Flexible, Fantastic guide and safari! Will be back with WhitePlains!
I have been on many safaris and this one was the best so far. Josephs took us to 3 national parks and a conservancy - Amboseli, Tsavo West, Tsavo East and Taita Hills conservancy. The variety of animals and birds we saw was incredible and Joseph was a fabulous guide explaining each and every single one, taking the time to answer all of our questions as we are avid safari fans. He was very patient with the children as well and really made their safari experience exhilarating. Joseph would give us as much time as we wanted to see the animals and was very flexible on timing departure from hotels depending on the itinerary for the day. On our last day of safari, we came across a pair of mating lions at around 8.30am and Joseph gave us a full hour to observe, take pictures and videos and be mesmerised. It was literally a private screening with no other tourist vehicles and felt magical! A memory for a lifetime and all thanks to Joseph/Whiteplains for making this possible!

Friendly, courteous, reliable, professional and enabled us to enjoy our Safari trip to the fullest.
We had a fantastic time on our Safari trip with White Plains Safari. Joseph was very courteous and ensured we saw various animals and birds and wanted us to be able to make the most of our vacation. He took us around effortlessly naming all the lovely animals and birds we saw and he was kind, responsible, professional and very friendly! We absolutely loved Salt Lick Safari Lodge in Taita Hills Conservancy. It was a gem of a find! We saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, gazelles and lots of other animals and exotic birds through our Safari trip to Amboseli, Taita Hills, Tsavo East and Tsavo West! We were stunned and amazed by the wonderful people we met along the way and the wonderful service we received from White Plains Safari. We will definitely return to Kenya soon again!

The best guide in Kenya
Amazing safari! Joseph took us to collected all the "Big Five" and enthusiastically introduced the names and habits of the animals to us along the way. He always has a passion for nature and this land, we can see it and we are very moved. Thank you Joseph for bringing us wonderful memories of Kenya, the nature is so amazing and beautiful. We would definitely return to Kenya again.

Exceptional, professional and very pleasant Safari Guide
Our recent trip to the Masai Mara, Serengeti and Amboseli in November 2023 in Kenya and Tanzania was an unforgettable experience, largely thanks to our exceptional safari guide Joseph Mwangi from White Plains Safaris. From the moment we met Joseph at the Hotel in Nairobi, our guide's expertise and passion for wildlife and the environment was obvious.
His keen eye and expert tracking skills led us to incredible wildlife sightings, including the Big Five, and his passion for conservation and the preservation of Kenya's natural beauty was truly inspiring. Joseph's warm and friendly personality made our journey even more enjoyable, as he shared captivating stories about the animals and local culture. His attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the trip were commendable.
Joseph played a pivotal role in making our trip to the Masai Mara and Amboseli National Park an extraordinary and educational experience. He is extremely pleasant, very competent, and reliable. We couldn't have asked for a better guide to accompany us on this remarkable journey. In fact, we liked him so much that after spending another 12 days in South Africa and Zimbabwe on a second safari, we came back to Nairobi and hired him again for a one-day safari to the Nairobi National Park.

Super helpful and communicative
Joseph from white plains is great! While I didn't end up doing a safari with him I wanted to comment on the communication and help he provided through the process. He's super knowledgeable, helpful and communicative and is an expert on all things safari. Would highly recommend planning a trip with him!

A unique experience
I can only recommend our seven-day safari to the Masai mara, Lake Naiwasha and Amboseli National Park. Joseph, our driver, was very competent and reliable. He organised the whole trip according to our wishes and was able to give us a lot of information about the flora and fauna, but also about the country and its people. It was an all-round successful trip for us! Many thanks Joseph for your great company!

White Plains Safaris provided very good service, competent planning and execution of the trip.
We spent a seven day safari in Kenya with White Plains Safaris and can highly recommend them.
Our driver and guide Joseph took us to the most beautiful places in the national parks where we could observe the animals in peace. He gave us as much time as we wanted for photographing and enjoying. Thanks to his very great knowledge of the diverse wildlife, we were able to learn a lot about the animals in Africa. During the seven days we were on the road with Joseph, we could learn a lot about Kenya, the people and the life. The many conversations during the trip were a great enrichment.
This beautiful safari and getting to know Joseph will remain in our memories for a long time.

Capturing every moment!
Recently, me and my family went on safari together. I didn’t know what to expect and I could of never have expected how great this adventure has been. From day 1 until the end we have had a incredible time. Especially because of Joseph, he took us to wonderful places and has learned us so much about animals. He shared his compassion with us and we are grateful that he did, because he made this adventure so much more. On the first day he asked us if we wanted to go to a lake with hippo’s where you could go on a boat to a island, first we didn’t know for sure but we did it after all and I’m glad we did. It was amazing! You could see the hippo’s from so close and the island was full of birds I have never seen before. Later that day we went to the first park and it was unbelievable, we saw flamingo’s, Monkeys, zebras, girrafes, buffelos, lions and even a few black rhinos! Joseph gave us the time that we needed to observe these animals and take pictures. At the end of the day we arrived somewhere beautiful where we would spend the night. And I knew from that moment that this would be the best vacation I have ever had and I can tell you, it was!
The second day we went to a different park, where we developed a game! We made a list of the animals and gave each sort of animal an amount of points. For example the zebra was 10 points and the lion was 200 points. The person who saw the type of animal as first gets the points. This was a very fun game to play during the drive trough the park and of course Joseph won! He makes every animal special, from seeing a bird to a lion, it doesn’t matter, he will tell you about them with so much joy. Again, the place where we stayed was beautiful and the food was delicious! Every day we would get a lunch box for during the drive and I loved every bite of it. Sometimes we would get out of the car and go picnicking with an incredible view of wild beasts.
My favourite moment of the vacation was seeing the wild beasts cross over. It is the most beautiful and incredible thing I have ever seen in my life. It looks cool on video but the real life experience is so much more! That is something I have learned on this trip, capture every moment, because you see things you maybe wont ever see again. And I did. I captured every moment of this trip and I will never forget how great it has been. Thank you Joseph and Emanuel for this great adventure you have given us. It wouldn’t have been so special without you!
