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
5/5

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.

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
5/5

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.
5/5

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!
5/5

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!

He was patient, caring, informative, and went above and beyond to make sure our questions were answered, and our desires were met. His knowledge and expertise added immeasurably to the experience. His understanding of the wildlife and lively way of describing added enormously turning it into a real learning experience.

The meticulous planning and attention to detail by Whiteplains Safaris were apparent throughout our journey. From seamless transitions between destinations to the thoughtful extras that were included along the way, every aspect of the trip was impeccably organized, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the adventure. Noting to worry about at all.

In conclusion, our safari with Whiteplains Safaris was nothing short of extraordinary. The remarkable game viewing, breathtaking landscapes, and the genuine care and expertise of our guide made this journey an absolute dream come true. If you're looking for a safari experience that goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend entrusting your adventure to Whiteplains Safaris.

Joseph, was superb, gentle, and very knowledgeable about the fauna and animals.
5/5

We had the best safari experience. Our guide was experienced and knew where exactly to spot all the animals. He stopped so we can take pictures. Very fortunate to catch the sunset too. We saw giraffes, rhinos, lions, zebras, antelopes and many animals that were unknown to us. His driving skills, second to none. Best day
