Impressive insights into life in an African slum
It was impressive and at the same time sad to see how hundreds of people have to live there. The tour was very well organized, a lot was explained and we were able to ask a lot of questions and thus better understand the living situation of the people there. I would absolutely recommend the tour
Operator response
