Safaricom Giga  bundles.
These are heavy-duty bundles available under *544#.
  • Daily 1 GB @ Ksh.99.

When they revamped their data bundles to include free WhatsApp, they silently removed this offer but had to bring it back due to backlash from it's subscribers.
They also included the weekly giga bundle @ Ksh. 999. You can read more about that Here.
Since Safaricom considers the giga bundles an offer and not main stream bundles, they do not come with free WhatsApp.

Safaricom platinum is advanced version of blaze targeting customers over 27 years.
They are monthly plans with one time purchase option or an auto renew option under platinum plus.
Apart from data there are call minutes for local and international calls depending on the plan subscribed to.
