The Kibera slum tour is excellent value and an essential trip for anyone visiting Nairobi. At the start of the journey, you meet Erick, who tells you about his KCOOP non-profit organisation, which does invaluable work in Kibera. Next, you meet your two guides who escort you for a guided tour around Kibera. We had two excellent guides in Zack and the delightful Benta. The guides are very friendly and informative, and they can answer all your questions about life in Kibera. They take you inside a local's home, and you visit an area supported by KCOOP where they feed and engage in activities with local children. The tour is very safe, and I never once felt uncomfortable in Kibera when taking photographs. Life is incredibly tough for the locals in the slum, with little in the way of services or government support. Life in Kibera is incredibly challenging, with limited services and government support. Despite this, the people are very resourceful, and there is a vitality in Kibera that gives you optimism for the future. There are two things I would advise before taking the tour: please bring some food for the children, and do not wear your best footwear. When you have completed the tour, please consider following KCOOP on social media, where you can learn about ways to support the organisation, including sponsoring a child.

See how people live or survive in this city within a city . People are very friendly. I didn't feel any danger at all. See how people access water. Local children always smiling despite their circumstance Co-op store at the end of the tour has carvings paintings prints built by local artists at reasonable prices. Stay away from the maasai market And the money goes to the community. For example, I bought a carved giraffe for five bucks in the massai market. It would cost 20 but extra donations are accepted

No, it's not voyeurism, but immersion in the true sense of the word. AOC Kenya tours through its local NGO helps improve the daily lives of Kimbera's kids. We were very late (because of a bus), and we had a hard time finding the starting point, but once done it was just perfect! The information, the walking tour, the contact with the locals, and above all the incredible Welcoming of the children. They all lived up to what our tourist carcasses could perceive. Something that we keep deep down and grow up. Thanks to AOC.......

The way Lucas has designed this tour was perfectly done. I met with his sister, Elfie, who was my tour guide for this one, at the starting point first. Then we walked through a very extended market; clothes, second hand stuff (clothes and household items), fresh food and fruits, and then those workshops for furniture refurbishment. Wonderfull walking tour to see real life of Kenyan locals in the city. We also had a stop at the community school. Students came out to welcome, made greetings, and gave hugs. Lovely day!
