Kibera Schokoladenstadtrundfahrt

Wonderful tour with Collins took us through Kibera community and the life of the people there. It’s amazing to see how people have been able to make a living. We went on Boxing Day, the kids were playing in the streets and happy. Highly recommend Collin, he is Knowledgeable, passionate and patient. He went an extra mile and made sure we were safe during the tour. God bless him and bless the people of Kibera.

An incredible tour led by knowledgeable local guides. Collins and his give a fantastic insight into the history of Kibera, introducing you to those that live there now, and explaining their vision for the future. I would highly recommend and I will be taking more friends and family back to Agape Hope.

Very interesting and eye opening tour through the slum of Nairobi. Highly recommended to everyone. Very good guides taking care of you all the way.

Collin’s was our tour guide and made us feel right at home. He grew up in the community of kibera and works very hard to improve his local community by helping those in need. He took us through the kibera slum and introduced us to many locals along the way. We felt completely safe and welcome for the duration of the tour. We had to the opportunity to meet some of the children that have been given a place to study and read as a part of his program. We were also able to meet some of the coaches that help to run a soccer program for kids that are not usually given this opportunity. We truly felt like we were part of the family with Collin’s as our tour guide and I can’t recommend this tour enough. It was an eye opening and touching experience to tour the slum and to see a local community member so motivated and devoted towards helping those less fortunate.

Incredible experience! Collins takes you on a tour of one of the largest slums in the world, giving you a glimpse of what life is like there. He grew up in Kibera and regards everyone in the community like family. It was inspiring to see what he’s done there and all that’s left to do, in a place of such poverty. If you get the chance, I would strongly recommend you take this tour with Collins- you will learn a lot and your visit supports a community in need!

The tour guide was very friendly, a large amount of money you give goes to the children. He gave us a nice tour. We also went to the school that the organization has set up, entered a house to see how they live there and he also took us to a place where they make things with animal bones. They were all very nice, no one bothered us probably because of the tour guide. I suggest it.

This experience was amazing as I could communicate with local people, visit a local factory, and gain valuable knowledge about Kibera slum from a tour guide who was raised there. Additionally, the price was tourist-friendly. If I could add, I wish I had interacted more with the children during their lunch break (we went for lunch at that time). I also regret not taking photos with the kids. Given the chance, I would love to go again with friends.

Very lovely and insightful trip! Our guide Collins was born and raised here who knows about this neighborhood inside out. He introduced us about their daily lives and welcome us with hospitality. They committed in brining a better communities and living condition by supporting a library, football and chess coaching for the kids here. Highly recommend their tour if you want to have a true taste of Kibera!

After a beautiful trip through Kenya to the Masai Mara and Mombasa, the last day was for an excursion through Kibera. Collin led us through the neighborhood and told us about life there. It was a Sunday and it was striking that despite the enormous poverty, everyone looked their best! At the end of the trip, Annette played a game of chess with a 10-year-old girl: chess helps you think carefully and that is very important for girls there! I highly recommend this tour!

kibera glowing 2 hours When I learned that I had visited the Kibera slum, my local friend John asked, "Did you cry?" I was startled at that time. With two African braids on my head and mung bean curry in my stomach, I stared at the thick mud left on the soles of my shoes and thought of Kibera. The child smiled and sat on the roadside, scraping the dirt from his feet. But no one shed a single tear. Instead, they all had toothy smiles, and of course I did too. In fact, what I didn’t expect was that I would wander around the slums in the drizzle for two hours. It was like walking into a documentary without a director shouting "stuck". I was a passerby in the drama. Even if it was fleeting, I still wanted to leave a little behind. Share your thoughts with other passers-by: >>Glowing Football---The commentator Kent is a football coach. He helps organize children from the slums to play football; he collects supplies to solve problems; he contacts players who have prospered from the slums to come back and show up in their jerseys to give the children hope, so Although the football field was full of small puddles, the little football players all played well and their eyes shone, and we also benefited from it. By chance, we met several role model football players who gave back to the hometown. We couldn't help but feel in our hearts. Secretly shouting "Kibera, come on!" >>There are mountains, water, and high walls---traveling through narrow alleys is easy, but what is surprising is that the terrain is rugged, and the garbage mountain has been stepped on to create a hard and reasonable "way of survival", integrating with the hills. , walking along the railway on the ridge line has to avoid the flocks of sheep, and there is also a section of the slope that is almost like going upstream, like tracing a stream. No wonder the football coach laughed and said that strong leg muscles are exercised in this way. The last impression stayed on a high stone wall. Human beings are good at using walls to separate each other, whether it is concrete or abstract... As my mind was wandering, I seemed to hear the old man enjoying the cool under the wall and Coach Kent chatting in dialect. A few homely words, everything is business as usual. Calm down and think about it like a carpet, there will definitely be no tears in the whole process, only spots of light. It was a lucky fate that I came to Kibera during my trip to Kenya. I gained more knowledge about the world and lost some prejudices. (by Huiya Wang)
