Free walking tours in Kibera

I would highly recommend the tour done by Stella and her brother. They managed to show us the real life in Kibera and told us everything about how it was built in the first place, how the infrastructure looks like, what keeps the people busy, what problems people are facing and also what initiatives are active on the ground. The tour has high educational value done by two locals. Completely save and enjoyable.

Brian is a great guide! He was very professional and as a local very knowledgeable on the Kibera area. Brian kept the tour very interesting, ensured safety the whole time and also was able to show me a delicious local food spot for dinner. Would recommend this tour!

Had a very good tour around Kibera would definitely recommend!

It was an unique experience and I am so glad I decided to go on this tour. Brian is a humble man but that better not mislead you, he is a pro, has been doing it for years and is literally making a degree in being a guide and his knowledge and ability to pass information is far more than I expected. I learned the history of Kibera, its struggles, highlights and demons. Is it really bad to go and visit a slum? Kibera is an enormous residential area, I think pretending it's not there is worse. It has its own look and its own art. Go with Brian, respect the community and please leave behind as much as you can, people are struggling for real!

If u wanna explore Kibera’s street you can join this tour. Guide inform me and i feel safe during tour.

We did this tour with Brian, and it was one of the best experiences we had in Nairobi — being able to understand and get closer to the reality of life in Kibera. It’s an area full of art and entrepreneurial people. Brian is an excellent guide; he kindly helped us discover all the details of the place where he grew up. He has very interesting projects and is an active member of the community. If I were to do this tour again, I would definitely do it with him. Thank you very much for welcoming us — see you next time!

Brian is a great guide and really knows his way around Kibera. He showed us many interesting places and was very patient, answering all our questions with great detail. We were especially inspired by his personal story as a self-taught artist, and it was encouraging to see how many talented young people in Kibera, like him, are pursuing their dreams.

Cool and relaxed trip to Kibera. Stella and her brother who helped on the Tour were both very nice. We got to see and experience a lot and they helped me find local food and drinks to try

Stella and her brothers took good care of us. It was interesting, safe and fun. I recommend her 100%

The best tour I ever attended with a lot of personal and touching stories and wonderful places and insights one can never forget. I can recommend this tour 100%!

Brian is incredible. Initially I was concerned about visiting the slum, not wanting to disturb the people in their day to day lives and out of fear that this would feel like displaying their harsh conditions only. But the opposite was the case: We learned so much about the development in the slum and the work and hope people have to improve things. Brian gave us so many details about the area and let us dive deep in into the everyday life there. If you want to do such a tour make sure you do it with a person who actually is from there, and Brian seems perfect for it.

Brian is Amazing boy, Born in kibera. He can show everything and know Better all. Is perfect for visit this area whit local people!

Brian is an amazing tour guide! He is full of energy and really informative. We were able to get so many insights on Kibera's dynamics, development, and possible future. The tour was really eye-opening, and I 100% recommend it for everyone!

Stella and Elijah shown me around Kibera and the community. They are originally from the area.I felt safe in their hands and got to learn a lot about the way of life in the area. I would highly recommend this tour as it is very informative and educational. Please show some love and get your haircut at Elijah's barbershop also. Thank you guys ❤️

5 stars! Brian is an incredibly engaging, friendly, and professional guide, who gave us an unforgettable visit to Kibera! Highly recommended.

Really interesting walk around Kibera with a very friendly Elijah !

Thank you to Stella and Elijah. Our tour with them was wonderful. We were genuinely surprised and delighted by how authentic the experience was, surrounded by such kind and joyful people, even given the circumstances — perhaps even more cheerful than in Nairobi itself! At no point did we feel unsafe. They are truly remarkable people who take on the great responsibility of educating and creating opportunities for children and the wider community. The guided tour was fantastic — the respect and admiration they receive from those around them clearly reflect the incredible work they’re doing. We felt both impressed and fortunate to experience it.

Been such a good tour with stella and her brother elijah. We were really suprised and enjoyed the authentic tour among very friendly and happy people despite the circumstances, (if not friendlier and happier than in nairobi itslef). It was not dangerous at all, not a single person asked us for money (well one actually) or tried to hustle us... Also some people are worried its a tour of pity and misery .... ITS Not at ALL!!!

Brian was an amazing guide. He knows the slums and is able to tell everything about the life in Kibera and make you meet locals. We also felt safe with him at all times.

It was a very nice tour! Kibera is impressive, but Brian leads you through it. He knows a lot of people and places + nice facts about the place

Brian was well-educated and provided us with all the information was asked and even more! Highly recommended! Good job Brian!

Amazing experience! So much love and nice vibration this area gave us. Brian our guide was very good and maked us feel very safe during the tour. I can really recomend him and to do this guided walk!!

Stella's knowledge of Kibera made the navigation easier and friendly. She is a happy guide full of smiles. Her approach to showcase Resilience instead of poverty won the day for me. You will get to understand why Kibera is a safe space for those living there. She used her personal experience to bring the message home and made the tour more relatable. She answered all my questions without hesitation and ensured I know the the before and after of Kibera. A lot of my assumptions were put to rest. Yes the tour was over 2 hours and the most educative tour of my life. I urger more Kenyans to take this tour and experience the true Kibera. If you are a tourist needing that lady safety net during the tour. Stella is the guide to make you feel home.

It's interesting to see the way of life in Kibera with a guide. Elijah knows many people and can answer all the questions. It would have been even better when we could enter a house and to have a little more interaction with the people. It was impressive to experience.

Brian was great! I highly recommend!
