Kibera is Africa’s second largest informal settlement after Soweto, South Africa. With an estimated one million inhabitants drawn from across the entire East Africa crowded in a 2.5 sq. KM piece of land, Kibera presents you a unique opportunity to experience the other Kenya that is less talked about but that’s full of promise. Erick, our founder, himself lived in Kibera for sometime as he was trying to get professional foothold and has many relatives still living there. Several prominent international figures and celebrities have visited Kibera over the past few years including President Obama, Ban Ki Moon (former UN Secretary General), Gordon Brown (former British Prime Minister) and Bono amongst others to see for themselves this unique settlement ecosystem. You will have opportunity to also see several UN and NGO projects covering housing (slum upgrading), education and health amongst others currently ongoing in the slum geared toward poverty alleviation.
Our package gives you a special opportunity to understand the local economy and create employment for our professional youth guides from the slums.

Amazing and insightful tour! Guide was a local from the area. He was thorough and kind. A truly unique experience. The people of Kibera were very warm and welcoming. Everyone was saying "Hi" and waving. Got to tour the entire area and learn from the locals. This is a must do if you are in the area.

Our Guide was truly a blessing..He knew everyone in the village. We met a wonderful man who invited us into his home and told stories of how difficult life was for his family. Everyone had smiles on their faces and I wish we could have helped all of them!

We had an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and had personal connections to the people which allowed us to see into their own lives. Our guide explained each building and what it meant to them as well as cultural norms. Throughout the tour he explained the circumstances or the majority of people living there and reasons that they contributed to live there (things like lack of jobs in the area and little access to sanitary conditions). Definitely a unique experience I would encourage everyone to take part in.
•Friendly and informative guide
•Interactions with local people

Fredrick was absolutely fantastic! He’s extremely knowledgeable and took us to the school which we wanted to visit to deliver some donations. I highly recommend this trip and when I return to Nairobi one day I will definitely be getting back in touch. Thank you Fredrick!

The guide was great and made sure we visit and interact with the locals. He was conversant with the neighbourhood and shares old memories he's had growing up there.
