Enlightening Visit. - This tour was very enlightening. This tour is not for everyone however. If you don’t have a heart for people, this tour is not for you. If you can’t climb terrain, this tour is not for you. However, if you want to understand how people in this slum arrived there and their living conditions, this tour is for you. Kevin shares his family’s story and the work he is doing to improve the lives of others. He is the ultimate example of reaching back to help others. His work is priceless and is touching many. Kudos to Kevin and those that he has assisted that have also taken on the helmet of servitude. Well done.

Unforgivable experience - Visiting Kibera and taking a slum tour was an eye-opening and incredible experience. Kevin, our guide, was fantastic—kind, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. He shared so much about life in the slums, giving us a deeper understanding of the challenges and resilience of the community. One of the highlights of the tour was visiting Future Stars School, where we had the opportunity to meet some of the amazing teachers. It was truly inspiring to see their dedication to educating children despite the immense lack of resources. The staff’s perseverance in providing education under such challenging conditions is nothing short of heroic. We left feeling deeply moved and full of admiration for the strength of the community. It’s our hope that the school, and the broader Kibera community, can receive more support from the government and nonprofit organizations to continue their incredible work. If you’re visiting Nairobi, this tour is a must—it’s an experience that stays with you, support Kibera entrepreneurs and truly broadens your perspective on life.

Amazing experience - Kevin was an amazing tour guide, he picked up my family and i from the hotel and explained everything to us what to expect from the tour and he kept everything safe for us and made us socialize with some people from there. We were able to meet the kids from the school and orphanage and it was an amazing experience and we got to know his family house and some business. I really recommend booking with him if you guys really want a unique experience.

Amazing experience. - EXCELLENT tour guide. Kevin picked us up at our hotel then took us around kibera. We visited the school, his parents house, then we continued to walked around Kibera's I love the compasion and love he has for his community. I would highly recommend booking a tour with him.

Seeing Life in Kibera - I had a great time with Kevin on the tour of his home neighborhood of Kibera. First of all, this is a one-on-one tour, so the $60 is well worth it for the personalized experience with Kevin as your guide. I was able to take pictures, buy stuff from shops, and visit two schools, where I was able to as questions and discuss politics (both Kenyan and American) with some of the employees. Arguably the best part was that Kevin highly respects your time; I learned halfway through my tour that I needed to return to my AirBnb before noon, so Kevin was willing to cut my tour short and drive me to a place to pick up an Uber. That said, there are some things to be aware of about Kibera (and Nairobi more generally). First of all, Kevin arrived an hour late, though I do not hold that against him since that was the fault of Nairobi traffic; he is moving to pick tourists up from their accommodations in the future, instead of the Yaya Centre, in part to get around that. In addition, Kibera lives up to its reputation as a slum, so you obviously need to maintain hygiene practices while going there. Finally, religion plays an important part of life for the residents - both schools I visited were founded on Christian principles - so it is important to respect that.

Set informative tour of... - Set informative tour of the slums and local school. Ishmael was great guide and everyone in slum was friendly.

Inspiring tour! - It’s very treacherous walking, so if elderly or have balance or walking issues, I don’t recommend it. It’s a real eye opener as to how terrible the living conditions are in the slum and the government gives them little or no help.

Wonderful but confronting - It is almost impossible to describe this tour. It was wonderful but it was also very confronting but also inspirational as well. Physically it was a little difficult as everyone in our group of seven were in their mid sixties to mid 70s and at times the terrain was steep and slippery and some places you had to climb a little bit so you needed to have very good shoes and grip -one of our party Slipped and went down. It was devastating and extremely confronting to see how people were living in the Kibera but it was also uplifting to know the people and see their optimism and cheerfulness. We were very fortunate to visit the school and understand the important work they were doing including housing some 29 orphans. It was inspirational and called for optimism but also extremely devastating to know that in our world there are still people living like this. Fantastic tour

Amazing tour - Everything was perfect. We feel very safe. Take a lots of fotos and videos. We went to the school ans meet so many children. Thanks Ismael ❤️

Eye Opening & Enlightening - Navigating through Kibera Slums will bring about many emotions. There will be a sense of remorse, mindfulness, immense sadness but there will be glimpses of hope and optimism that come as you engage with children of village. We visited one of the schools that exist within the village. The eyes of children are filled with promise, love and possibilities. We did not get to visit a home in Kibera. We did visit the bone making market, where there were souvenirs/trinkets on sale. Be mindful that while this is a tour for us, it is home to others. People will be going through their day to day activities. You'll see how another side of people live. Through it all don't miss the resourcefulness, the community, the love that lives in Kibera. Tips: - Wear comfortable walking/hiking shoes with strong grips. You'll be walking/ climbing up slippery ground, boards, rocks, etc. - Be Prepared to GiveBack: The schools use chalk. I wish I thought of it before I went because I could've donated chalk or children's reading books. The children love to read. If you have time to volunteer, inquire about if you will be able to during your visit. - We were picked up from our hotel, and Kevin was willing to drop us to our next location nearby. If you have another stop after the tour that is nearby, coordinate drop-off with Kevin. While this is not your typical sightseeing tour, I do highly recommend touring the slums. It shows the reality of how some people live. It will put a lot into perspective for you.
