Kibera Slum, Nightclub Hopping and Masai Mara Safari Experience
We asked for a tour guide to Kibera slum, nightclub hopping, and Masai Mara safari. It was a wonderful experience. Kibera, known as the largest slum in Nairobi, is a place with densely packed houses and narrow alleys, and we were able to get a glimpse into the lives of people facing poverty. Our guide, who is from Kibera, explained the history and current challenges in detail. We participated in nightclub hopping to get a glimpse into the lives of people in Nairobi. The sight of locals and tourists dancing together was very energetic. We were able to enjoy it with peace of mind by having a local guide accompany us. The safari in the Masai Mara National Reserve was the best. With vast grasslands spreading out, we were able to see a variety of wild animals such as lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, hippos, ostriches, and zebras up close. The balloon safari was also a wonderful experience where we could feel the majestic nature from the sky. We also visited a Masai village and felt the local culture. Virgin Exploreres' intimate support allowed us to enjoy Kenya safely to the fullest. Thank you!
