Memorable 6‑Day Safari with Ariphine Tours & Safaris
We had the pleasure of experiencing a 6‑day safari with Ariphine Tours & Safaris in the first week of June 2026. From the very beginning, Ashley and her team were outstanding—accommodating all our requests, offering valuable suggestions, and planning the itinerary with great attention to detail.
Our guide, Evans, was exceptionally knowledgeable and ensured we enjoyed the best possible sightings across Masai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru, and Amboseli. His expertise and dedication made every moment of the journey unforgettable.
A heartfelt thank you to Ashley and Evans for making this safari truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Kenya’s natural beauty with a professional and caring team.

Wonderful memories in Kenya & Tanzania 🇰🇪🇹🇿
I did a 9-day (customized) trip across Kenya & Tanzania with Ariphine and it turned out to be wonderful! Early from the consulting phase, our communication was really smooth. Special shoutout to Ashley - extremely responsive, and responsible who keeps checking with you about the experience almost every day during the trip. The logistics is pretty good so you don't need to worry about anything as all will be arranged for you, even solo travelers. I managed to visit (and enjoy) Masai Mara, Amboseli, Serengeti & Ngorongoro within limited holidays very much because of their good organization. Great value for money even for 'budget' option with many unforgettable moments with our guide, peers, animals and nature. Would definitely love to recommend this agent to friends for future travels here!

Very responsive which greatly eased my mind
I wanted to book a budget safari for a group of four and after talking to several, this was the most wallet friendly. I had some uncommon requests like needing to travel back to Nairobi after the tour and needing to leave at a weird hour but they were able to accommodate. Planning for a group can be difficult trying to account for everyone's needs such as dietary, mobility, and accommodation and they have worked with me on each one, including last min changes

We were very lucky to find Ariphine Tour.
I'm from Russia and was looking for a company that offered affordable, no-prepayment safaris in Kenya. A three-day safari was perfect for our limited time in Kenya. I contacted the guys, and they responded quickly, showing me the tour itinerary. A driver picked us up from our apartment at the agreed-upon time, which was a nice touch. We then paid for the services and boarded a jeep with driver Anton. Then we stopped at a tent camp, where we were fed wonderfully, and the next day, at 6:30 a.m., the most unforgettable part of the trip, the safari, began. We saw all the animals several times. The organization was excellent, and the team was responsive. On the third day, we were driven back home. I wholeheartedly recommend Ariphine Tour!

Excellent tour operator providing a great safari adventure.
We did the mid- range 8 day safari in Kenya and the accommodation and food exceeded my expectations for the price we paid. Really good value for money. We had Daniel as a guide and he was superb and very knowledgeable. Even when we had vehicle troubles he always made it a fun adventure and things were always sorted out super quickly. The only thing I would say is that the vehicle with 8 passengers is a squeeze at the back so really they shouldn’t put more than 7 so everyone has enough space and can stand up and see the animals. We didn’t bother with the Masai village after hearing some things about it no longer being really authentic but we really enjoyed the boat on lake naivasha and hells gate park riding electric bikes amongst the animals. Great adventures every day and I will cherish the memories.

Amazing trip!
We had a fantastic trip with excellent organization from start to finish. The entire process with the company was smooth, professional, and very well coordinated, which made the journey completely stress-free for us. Our guide, John, had an incredible knowledge of Kenya and all the national parks we visited. He always kept a respectful distance from the animals, while still making every effort to give us the best possible views. Thanks to him, we learned so much about the wildlife and had an unforgettable experience.

We had the most amazing tour thank to Ariphine and we would do it all over again if we could. Everything was just perfectly organized and the communication was always in a matter of minutes.

Great experienced tour guide
We were a group of 6 and had a 9days tour in Kenya and Tanzania. This review is for the Kenya part as the Tanzania part was handled by another tour company.
On the first day, the company picked us up at the hotel, and loaded us up to our first destination, Maasai Mara National Reserve.
Our guide John was extremely friendly and made us feel comfortable throughout the trip.
During the game drive he coordinated with other guides to find animals and we managed to find all the animals we were expecting including the lions, leopards and cheetahs. He was very experienced and we appreciated he went beyond the hours to look for the animals. There was an optional iteneary where we could visit the Maasai village. We had to pay 20USD per person and the villagers also pressured us to buy their products at an extremely overpriced price. Talking to a local friend, she said it is unfortunate not the authentic Maasai tribe we are seeing but rather the “tourist” ones. So I would recommend not to take this trip.
The accommodation was overall okay (Enchoro wildlife camp had limited hot water, but this is the nature of being in a place with limited infrastructure) and we think the tour fee total was worth the price. Definitely recommend the tour company.

Amazing 13-day Kenya & Tanzania safari with Ariphine—budget-friendly, safe & well-managed!
Ariphine Tours and Safaris – Kenya & Tanzania (13 Days)
We did a 13-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania with Ariphine Tours and Safaris, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience! As a couple, we were looking for a budget-friendly adventure, and Ariphine delivered exactly that — great value, safety, and memorable experiences.
Our guide in Kenya, Dan, was knowledgeable and clearly knew his job well. Although at first we thought he might be a bit laid-back, we soon realized he was experienced, calm, and confident in what he did — which made the whole journey smooth and enjoyable.
There were a few hiccups such as communication gaps and last-minute changes in accommodation and itinerary, but the team handled everything quickly and responsibly. They responded promptly and resolved all issues to our full satisfaction.
Overall, we felt safe, well cared for, and had an amazing time. Highly recommend Ariphine Tours and Safaris for anyone looking for an affordable yet authentic safari experience across Kenya and Tanzania! 🐘🦁🌍
