Exceptional Safari Experience
5/5

Spirit of Tanzania provided us with an exceptional experience! Vincent and all of the guides were very friendly, especially Abdul. The experience itself was incredible, we saw soooo many animals, even leopards and white rhinos, the hardest to find. We were with Abdul for 4 days, and I don't think there was a single question he didn't know the answer. Many thanks to Vincent, John, Abdul, and Nathan -- it was the trip of a lifetime!

Thoroughly professional, reliable and courteous operator
5/5

From day 1 of the planning process to execution of the plan during the actual trip, White Plains Safari have been amazing. The itinerary was perfect, personal and met our requirements. The logistics were thoroughly planned and executed. Everything went to plan to the clock and it covered well beyond our expectations. The choice of camps, the food, the accommodation and the travel couldn't have been more comfortable.

Amazing trip, wouldn’t have been the same without Joseph!!
5/5

Our 5 night trip was brilliant! All the way from working out our itinerary to being dropped off at the airport, Joseph was the ultimate professional. His obvious passion for what he does added so much to our experience. If you are thinking about doing a trip don’t look any further, I could not recommend white plains safari highly enough!!

White Plains Safaris offers superb, respectful, relaxed experience
5/5

White Plains Safaris took us on an unforgettable safari to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Amboseli. The trip was meticulously planned with a nice choice of a variety of places to stay, while also being able to accommodate some flexibility. The experience is hard to put in words, the kindness of het people, the grace and symbiose of different animals, the colours, the overnight stays and sunsets/sunrises in the wild, the spectaculair views. Furthermore we lucky to witness the amazing trek of wildebeests at Mara River.

What I liked in particular is that White Plains Safaris stood out in being respectful, not letting themselves be driven by hitlist/tick-off sheet of the Big5, but the overall experience, took time to tell us about the birdlife and the responsible approach to nature, animal life, the people and the team in its hands.

A huge thank you to the entire team at White Plains Safaris, we wholeheartedly recommend them to all our friends, colleagues and everybody else!

Wonderful and magical safari!
5/5

White Plains Safaris and Joseph as the guide made my holiday very worthwhile and enjoyable indeed.
It was magical.. Another tour of the many that my family and I have taken with Joseph and White Plains. Knowledgeable and patient Joseph made sure that our morning and evening game drives did not disappoint. Visiting Amboseli, Tsavo west and Tsavo East National parks was a dream come true as we spotted all the big fives.
Thanks Joseph and White Plains Safaris for a wonderful and unforgettable holiday.. looking forward to the next one already!

Knowledgeable, Professional, Flexible, Fantastic guide and safari! Will be back with WhitePlains!
5/5

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.
5/5

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!

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.
