Amazing, authentic, adventurous, fun!! - Eric is such an amazing guide! He took such good care of and showed us so much of authentic Kenyan culture. He is thoughtful, fun, and attuned. We even got to meet his parents! I really value learning about the local culture and seeing authentic local life as a tourist. Eric, having grown up in Naivasha, was the key to that experience. I was able to see so much that other tourists who value luxury over adventure do not. I highly recommend this business if you value seeing and learning more about local culture and are up for a little more adventure!

Unforgettable adventure to Hell's Gate - We had a really exceptional tour with Daring Escapes. Thanks to the excellent guidance of the team we were able to spot lots of different animals in a unique setting and from a close distance. Riding a bicycle and watching zebras, giraffes, antelopes, buffalos and eagles gliding around the rocks was an experience I will never forget. Robert, our guide knew the park inside-out and made our little adventure into the wild super interesting as we learnt a lot of fascinating facts about the local flora and fauna. Make sure not to miss the boat ride on Lake Naivasha, it’s super fun and we got to see many hippos! Our journey was very comfortable and safe, Simon, our driver explained everything that we were doing for the day and was very informative about the areas we drove through, not to mention his great personality! The communication with Eric prior to the trip was great and professional, he took care of all our requests so that everything went super smoothly. After Hell’s Gate we chose to do a camping tour to the Aberdares - what a hidden gem! We got to see many elephants and even their babies and we were stunned by the beauty of the untouched nature. All in all a fantastic trip from the beginning to the end, Daring Escapes made our first days in Kenya a really special and memorable experience!
