Nairobi: Urban Farming and Eco-Innovation Tour with Pickup

Explore Nairobi’s urban farming and eco-innovation projects on a guided tour. Visit a rooftop farm, see aquaponics in action, and learn about waste-to-resource initiatives.
Begin with a comfortable pickup from your hotel, where your guide introduces the themes of the tour: urban resilience, circular economies, food security, and how Nairobi’s communities are using creativity and innovation to build a greener future.

Your first stop is a rooftop urban farm, where you’re welcomed by local farmers who explain how they use limited space to grow a surprising variety of vegetables and herbs. Walk through raised beds, container gardens, and vertical towers while learning about soil health, irrigation systems, natural pest control, and the benefits of growing food within dense urban settings. Discover how these farms reduce food transportation, improve nutrition, and support sustainable city living.

Next, visit a community aquaponics or hydroponics project, depending on the day. Here, see how fish tanks and plant systems work together to create a closed-loop cycle that uses 80–90% less water than traditional farming. Participate in a hands-on demonstration—checking water pH, feeding fish, or planting seedlings—guided by a local expert. This is an eye-opening look at the future of eco-friendly agriculture.

Continue to a waste-to-resource center, where community groups transform household waste into compost, organic fertilizer, and even biofuel briquettes. Learn how recycling and composting reduce landfill pressure while creating income for local residents. See how organic waste is sorted, processed, and turned into nutrient-rich material that fuels the city's urban gardens.

Your guide then leads you through a short community walk to visit an eco-innovation hub that focuses on sustainability education, green technology, and youth empowerment. Depending on the day, you may see seedling nurseries, mushroom cultivation units, plastic upcycling workshops, or small-scale solar energy demonstrations. Meet local innovators, ask questions, and hear how these projects are helping Nairobi adapt to climate change while creating real economic opportunities.

The final stop is a peaceful urban green space—a community garden or permaculture plot—where you can relax, enjoy nature, and reflect on the inspiring projects you've experienced. Here, learn about plant diversity, medicinal herbs, and how permaculture principles help create self-sustaining ecosystems.
