They were really friendly people, really outgoing and always did their best to attend to everyone.
White Plains Safari provided me with an incredible experience, they were really easy people to get to know and it felt like I had made another friend at the end of my trip. Their service was excellent, they were really outgoing and did their ultimate best to show us everything they could, even if it meant going out of their way in order to do so, they were very reliable and I personally had no concerns regrading their reliability. In terms of the tour itself, I would one hundred percent recommend my trip to Kenya to anyone especially with White Plains Safari. White Plains Safari helped make my trip an experience I will never forget.

Exceptional service in planning a magical South African city and safari vacation!
I began coordinating our safari vacation in 2019 with Kathi Simon. From the beginning she was prompt, informative, and very professional in providing travel itineraries and catering the vacation to our budget, ages of the children and interests! The travel quotes were significantly lower than the prices charged by Adventures by Disney and Tauck Bridges which we have used before.
Due to COVID the trip was canceled and rescheduled 3 times and Kathi was patient and diligent in promptly confirming all of the reschedules of flights and accommodations. She was also very helpful in keeping us apprised of Covid testing requirements etc.
We finally took our vacation in May/June 2022 and the trip exceeded all our expectations and was worth the wait! My husband and I traveled With our 15 and 13 year old children and everyone was wowed by every experience. The landscape, diversity of culture and cuisine and history of Cape Town was stunning. We visited Robben island and learned a lot about the dark history surrounding apartheid, visited the winelands and even went parasaling off Signal Mountain!
We then traveled to Zimbabwe which while not as luxe as the South African accommodation was one of our favorite stops. The lodge was beautiful and authentic and had nightly visits of game to the watering hole. We visited a local village and also zilpined at the falls!
We end our trip in Kruger at the Sabi Sabi game reserve which was outstanding. The accommodations were lovely and the fed us 24/7 with tea time and breakfast and big lavish dinners. The game drives were spectacular and the guides and trackers were so knowledgeable and became friends.
If I changed anything, with the 2 kids, we likely could have stayed at less luxurious accommodations on safari and still had a great time, if anyone is looking to lower the tour price a bit!
On departure from Vic Falls our flight was cancelled and Kathi Simon quickly rebooked us and arranged for us to cross the border into Zambia and depart from Livingstone. We would have been stressed without her help.
Highly recommend the trip and tour company!

Easily the best for the holiday of a lifetime
What a fantastic experience from start to finish! Our trip was over 2 years in the waiting as we had booked in Jan 2020. Newton was brilliant at keeping us in the loop regarding all things covid. We rescheduled a couple of times with no difficulty, and he was always there on WhatsApp whenever we needed him.
Our guide Jackson was hand-picked and we couldn't have had a better match. His instinct was always spot on and our expectations were very much exceeded! We had very little to think about during our safari. It was the easiest and most memorable holiday I have ever had.

Outstanding experience
If you are interested learning about the people and animals in South Africa this is the company you want to work with. Toby was instrumental in helping me determine what was most important to see and do so we could set up our trip with that in mind. Once there our guide Hayden, made sure all our needs were taken care of.
Hayden is very knowledgeable about the people, animals and the environment of South Africa. He was able to answer our questions and if he didn’t know something he knew where to get the answers.
My favorite thing about Hayden is even after 20 years as a guide he still sees these tours as if it was his first trip. I would definitely book another trip with them.

Perfection. Highly recommend.
Alex offers a phenomenal service. Honestly - completely faultless. From our very first call to millions of other calls, queries and emails. Just amazing service - professional, thoughtful, a pleasure to deal with and exceptionally helpful at every stage. Not to mention the actual safari itself being the most magical holiday ever. As first time safari goers she completely put us as ease and made sure we had the most special experience. Answering all our stupid questions, responding immediately, and one unforgettable moment when - upon arrival in Amboseli - the guide already knew I was keen to see the flamingos. Epic communication. She really went above and beyond. Do not hesitate to book with EA.

The most unbelievable trip
This was the first major holiday me and my fiancée booked, it was just before the pandemic in Feb 2020. It couldn’t have been timed any worse.
Newton came back to us immediately with all points answered and several ideas. We paid an initial deposit and he didn’t even ask for further payment as our trip got longer.
What happened in the end is we decided to enhance our time in Kenya and needed to rebook 3 times in total with various travel restrictions and a constantly changing itinerary.
We originally looked at 3 nights in the Mara and ended up with 2 nights in Nairobi either side of 2 nights in Amboseli with Lake Nakuru and then 2 different lodges in the Maasai Mara.
From the second we arrived to being dropped back everything was taken care of. No question left unanswered, no concern at any stage over what we were doing.
It was quite literally the perfect holiday. We’ve also gained several friends. Jack was handpicked as our guide and couldn’t have been better suited to me and Hannah.
We’re in our 30s and are well traveled. Normally doing everything ourselves, this was our first trip together or apart where we used a third party and I would only ever go back to Kenya if it was with Newton and his team.
I don’t have enough superlatives to compliment Bateleur Eagle Safaris enough.

An excellent and unforgettable experience
Our family and I just came back from 8 days safari experience with Bison Safaris
We were picked up at our hotel in Nairobi and brought back to the same hotel as planned. During game drive we saw more wild animal than we had expected including the big five all thanks to our driver with great skills of tracing animals.
Everything went as planned and even exceeded our expectations
Bison Safaris never disappoint, I highly recommend you book with them
