Offers great-value, budget-friendly trips and super responsive communication.
We booked a 6-day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli safari and were overall very satisfied with our trip. We got very lucky and managed to see the Big Five!
A huge shoutout to our guide Mike, who truly made the trip special, spotting animals in unexpected places and answering our never-ending questions.
As for the accommodation, it was very comfortable and great value for the price range. I can highly recommend booking with Outer World Safaris!

It was not a very good journey.
On May 28th, the manager of the travel agency sent me a quotation via email and added me on WeChat. On May 30th, we first confirmed our arrival and departure times on WeChat. On May 31st, after finalizing the hotel and other details, we paid the deposit to complete the reservation. On June 1st, we sent her the specific arrival time (13:40 on the 22nd), flight number, and other information for the second time. Apart from asking for the itinerary, there was no other communication in between. However, on June 19th, two days before departure, she suddenly informed us that our arrival time was too late to catch the first day's itinerary and that we would need to pay a private transfer fee of $300. Initially, she explained that she had assumed it was 2am, but after seeing the chat record I provided showing 13:40, she said she had thought it was the departure time. Finally, she claimed that we only informed her of the specific arrival time after the reservation was finalized. In summary, she ultimately admitted it was a mistake and apologized for it, but we still had to pay an additional fee of $200!!
We have questions about this. Regarding the arrival time, we provided it multiple times before and after the reservation, even providing the flight number. Why wasn't it confirmed earlier? Why was it only raised when all hotels were booked before departure? We believe that $200 is not a cost we should bear.
As compensation, the manager offered us a complimentary tour of the Marseille market. However, this was not discussed with the driver in advance, which led to a lengthy communication breakdown between us and the driver on the final day. The driver claimed he was unaware of this additional itinerary, as it was not listed on the schedule. Although he eventually took us there, we felt extremely exhausted and the entire communication process was far from smooth.
Due to the overpayment of $200, we did not provide an additional tip to the driver. It was stated that tipping the driver was not mandatory, but when we finally left, the driver made very impolite facial expressions and gestures in public towards our failure to tip him. We felt very hurt!!!
In short, it was an unpleasant journey.

Posted on Aug 18, 2026Thank you for sharing your concerns. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you experienced.
We would like to clarify that our scheduled departure time is 8:00 a.m If a client’s arrival is after the scheduled departure time, the additional arrangements required to join the itinerary may incur an extra charge for private transfer to join the other group which would be in Masai Mara alreadly. Alternatively, clients may choose to stay in the city and begin the tour itinerary the following day. We understand that this should have been explained and confirmed more clearly in advance.
As a gesture of goodwill, we offered the complimentary Masai Market visit at no additional cost.
Regarding the tipping issue, the guide did not ask you for a tip, and tipping is entirely optional. We also cannot determine or control a person’s facial expression. It is possible that the guide was simply tired, as this was the end of a long trip. Nevertheless, we are sorry if his expression or gestures made you feel uncomfortable or disrespected.
We appreciate your feedback and will take it seriously, particularly regarding clearer communication of departure times.
A good itinerary and a good travel agency
I was very happy for my birthday trip to Kenya. I saw the lion family eating and sleeping, the leopard mother taking care of the children and the elephants of Amboselli. I felt that I saw more than a hundred elephants. I was very happy every day. I was especially grateful to the travel agency for helping me hold a birthday party. It was the first time I traveled abroad alone for my birthday. It was a very memorable experience.

A nice tour
I had a 4 days tour with outerworld team, Masai Mara, Nakuru lake and Naivasha lake. I went there with my wife, and it was our first experience in Kenya and as a safari. It was very nice, well organized, and gave us the possibility to visit those areas mostly with a jeep and on somme short slots by feet (Crescent Island, Hell’s gate). Hotels were ok and as proposed in the offer. Contacts with the agency where very efficients and useful, always trying to find the good way to match our requests while managing a group tour. Result is a very nice tour for an amount that was competitive compared to the other offers I had received. But the game changer was clearly the availability and efficiency of my contact at the agency. Our driver has been nice too, looking for the best spots to see animals, and being really a guide at different steps.

The tour was good and splendid would like it too next year. I had to even go ahead climbing Mt Kilimanjaro and it was just something else, I cld never imagine myself climbing but there I was with full energy.
I thought I couldn't but I tried to my best..
Serengeti was there too. And I enjoyed watching the animals from a distance.

Competent staff, reliable agency, the big five passed, crossing Mara river failed
Five days safari: Lake Naivasha - Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru, six person in total as agreed. Very well organized budget safari trip. Good communication with agency staff. Quick response for any question. Nice and helpful personnel (Mary was very competent). Accommodation on acceptable level (common budget conditions). Food good enough but not luxury. However generally I had to pay for every drinks for lunch and dinner or use water which was provided by safari agency ( 1 liter per day). Tea and instant coffee was provided for free for breakfast. Car was a little bit old and neglected without air condition but it was not a problem. Guide was pretty efficient and could find animals which we wanted to see. Visit in Masai village was not so exciting for me. In Hell Gate park we payed 25 $ extra for local guide but better option is to go inside by car ( 13 $ fees only; guide is not needed at all). The biggest inconvenient: long journeys between safari parks and Nairobi. Recommendation: good camera and binoculars (a mobile phone is not enough), own wine if somebody needs. If I go for safari second time more I would book my trip in this agency.
