To experience a part of Kenya unseen by most tourists, visit the friendliest slum of the world in Nairobi. Take a tour to Kibera.
There are guides available, born and living in Kibera, who would like to show you the daily life in their 'city of hope'. See the ways the people of Kibera improve their lives. Become inspired by their resilience and friendliness.
You 'll experience that the people of Kibera will certainly make you feel welcome. A security-guard, well-known in Kibera, will come on the tour to make you feel even more safe.
Tours may include:
