Tour guiado de favela de Kibera de Nairobi

The guide gave us a detailed explanation of lives.life is too hard for people at the bottom of society. we hope the government can improve their lives and let children receive education.

I was a little apprehensive about touring Kibera because of its reputation for being a high crime area, but as soon as I met our guide, Collin's, my fears were put to rest. Collin's, who grew up in Kibera, was extremely knowledgeable about the area and he seemed to know everyone. While the poverty and hard lives experienced by Kibera's residents is extremely shocking, I was very impressed with the general seeming happiness of its residents and how friendly they were. Collins took us to a house of an elderly Kibera resident and I was impressed by her positive attitude despite her very small house and cramped living quarters. Collins also took us to a school and I loved meeting the children. We didn't have cash with us, which I highly recommend so you can buy candy for the children. The only negative about the tour was that the driver made us stop at an overpriced souvenir shop on the way back to the hotel--something that was definitely not on the itinerary. This unfortunately seems to be standard practice during Kenyan tours.

it was amazing trip of tour with student from yale university, who had opportunity to make a visit to slum kibera , we gaved them customised trip

Freddy, who lives in Kibera, gave us a personal tour, including a shop which makes bone jewelry and another shop which makes beads out of paper. We visited a school room and other such places, and Freddy took us to his own home. It was a lot of walking, sometimes on narrow paths next to open sewer ditches, so you'll want to have good walking shoes.

I was amazed to see how this community comes together to support each other. The people are hard working, the children happy and friendly. The parents send their children go to school and the children greeted us in English with big happy smiles. Our guides were excellent. They were informative and we felt welcomed and safe throughout the tour.

We booked last minute and it was a great decision. The tour guide Paul was awesome !!! We went to Kibera and it was a lot of fun to see how people leave there and have their small little businesses . Also we asked if we could ride on the local bus that has very loud music with lots of TVs screens , he was able to arrange it and it was a wild drive to experience it with the local people . If you never seen the slams you definitely should consider using this company and definitely request for Paul.

Wow! Is the only way I can describe my experience touring kibera. TOM my tour operator was outstanding in proving background history and knowledge of kibera. Tom linked us with Willie, our local kibera guide and my experience elevated even more. Willie is still a resident and his presence allowed me to see and interact with the community in a way that I wouldn't have been allowed to do without him. Willie even took me to his home, introduced me to his family and allowed me to the essence of how the people in kibera live day to day. Highly recommend

Visit of 7 hours that in the end were 3 and the guide the rest of the time wanted to invest it in other things paying it part .. I have not returned a hard of the excursion. the best is to catch a local guide of kibera without agency or anything...

This thought provoking and moving tour allows a visitor to truly see both the visual definition of poverty, as well as the strength of the human spirit to survive. If one is visiting Kenya, I believe this tour should be a must on their itinerary. Our tour took place both inside a vehicle and by walking. Our driver, George, and our walking guide, Willis, were excellent guides, offering honest and direct answers to our questions. This is certainly a tour that cannot be experienced vicariously. Seeing, hearing, smelling and feeling the essence of poverty, combined with the people's determined efforts to live and survive is worth every moment of the tour.

Paul was my driver and guide for this interesting and insightful tour. He asked probing questions of me to custom-tailor the experience, and he prepared me for what I might encounter. He arranged a tour of the orphanage with its director Wilson Andrew. The children were delightful, thriving in desperate conditions. He then arranged a walking tour with Willie, a Kibera resident, who took me through the walkways of this vast community. They all looked after me, and I felt totally safe. Paul also asked what I’d like to do outside of Kibera, and I accepted some of his suggestions, making it a wonderful first day in Nairobi.
