Description

Your experience begins at Prestige Mall, where you'll meet your local guide and hop onto a colorful matatu — a uniquely Kenyan form of public transport — for an authentic ride into Kibera. Your first stop is the bustling Olympic market, followed by a visit to a local ornament shop that transforms bones and scrap materials into stunning handmade jewelry. Next, you'll visit a children's home where you'll learn about local efforts to care for vulnerable youth. From there, you'll walk to the railway line that runs through the heart of Kibera, offering a striking view and deeper context into daily life in the area. Your journey continues at the Kibera Kids Library — a safe space empowering children through education, books, and creativity. You'll also visit a part of Kibera known as ‘Chocolate City,’ and hear the unique and symbolic story behind its name. The tour ends at KTC, a vibrant community center where you'll reflect on the experience, enjoy a local snack or drink if you wish, and order an Uber to your next destination. Along the way, expect rich conversations, warm hospitality, and real connections with the people of Kibera.
