Has been a pleasure having a tour of the Kibera with Daniel and Elijah. They know the every corner of the city and delight you with interesting information, but most of all they share their commitment they have built for the community. Do not leave Nairobi without having a tour of Kibera with these guys !

Booked the tour quite last minute and Daniel is very responsive. Had an amazing time with Daniel and Elijah in the chocolate city. The well-structured tour is informative with a personal touch as they both knew the place inside-out and have a great mission to do something for the community, especially kids! Join them and learn more about the community. Thank you guys!!

I wasn't sure about going on a tour around a slum, simply because I thought I would feel as a tourist rich intruder in an unlucky community. But at the end, after listening to the amazing explanations of Daniel and his brother, seeing their involvement with their neighbours, walking among very friendly people and hundreds of smiling children saying hello... I could say this was definitely the best experience in Nairobi and sure one of the best of my entire trip to Kenya. More than highly recommended!!!

The tour with Daniel was great. We were nervous before going on it as we weren't sure if it was the right thing to do ethically or safety wise, but once going on the tour we completely relaxed. The Kibera community seemed keen to get their story out there and dispell the idea that Kibera is unsafe. Daniel made us feel incredibly safe and answered our questions with real intelligence. He is passionate about making a change in his community, and it was brilliant to end the tour with a visit to the charity work he and his brother are leading to support slum children. Thank you Daniel! We recommend everyone to go on the tour.
