Tour Highlights.
Are you interested in discovering real life in a slum? Then I am pleased and proud to take you on a walking tour in my hometown Kibera. I was born and raised here and know the place very well. The tours I organize are always with a small group. I will show you the challenges we face but also the positive sides of living together in Chocolate City, the inspiring entrepreneurship of many of our community, and the progress we have made together.
A day well spent exploring the unseen side of Nairobi through Kibera slum which is unseen by most tourists. Kibera is Africa's largest slum and the friendliest slum in the world. Visit Toi market, an Orphanage/School, a bead factory, a typical Kibera-House, and The Biogas Center.
