Kibera Tours

Experience a part of Kenya unseen by most tourists:

Kibera

The friendliest slum in the world.

Our Kibera-based Dutch-Kenyan organisation “Kibera Tours“ would like to welcome you to a tour in Kibera, the biggest slum of East-Africa. Our guides Martin and Freddy, born and living in Kibera, would like to show you the daily life in their 'city of hope'. See the ways the people of Kibera improve their lives. Become inspired by their resilience and friendliness.

You 'll experience that the people of Kibera will certainly make you feel welcome. A security-guard, well-known in Kibera, will come on the tour to make you feel even more safe.

What we will visit

• An orphanage/school built by 'mama Tunza'. Meet this impressive woman and look at her work in the childrens home. View a video
