Description

Kibera is the largest slum in Africa and one of the largest in the world. The aim of organizing this experience is to enable our guests to learn more about the local community's way of life and the income we generate from the booking fee helps us in paying school supplies and fees for the orphans and vulnerable children in the slum. 50% of the booking fee goes back to the community. We are a team of four guides. We were both born and raised in the slum. There are 5 stops during this experience; 1. Open Air Market From the meeting point, we will pass through an open air market. This is one of the local markets where people from Kibera slum do their shopping. Mainly second-hand clothes are sold here. 2. View Point We will then go to a view point where you will see the general view of Kibera slum. We will explain more about the history and the current situation of Kibera. 3. Children Centre You will then visit a children centre where you meet and interact with some of the children in Kibera. 4. Home visit We then welcome you into one of the homes to see the living conditions inside. The families are very friendly and very welcoming. 5. Public Bus Finally we will take a public bus/Matatu to take you back to the meeting point. This is optional. We are very flexible and can customize this experience to match your interest.
