Tour description
During this tour, the guide will generally focus on our community's way of life and culture. The sceneries and the evolution of the slum areas and most importantly the challenges.
I will be meeting my clients at prestige plaza along Ngong road.
The tour starts immediately after meeting up as we go through the slum.
We will also visit some of the historic areas during the tour eg the oldest railway line built between 1901-1902 by the Indians during the pre colonial period. Walkers will also have an option of trying some local delicious dishes but at a cost.
We will also have some photo sessions throughout the tour

Elijah and his bothers are amazing people. They are working really hard to help their community, specially the children. Every second of the tour we felt extremely safe and comfortable. I extremely recommend this experience!

A fantastic walking tour with Elijah and later his brother Daniel. Really enjoyed hearing about their experience in Kibera and meeting some of the locals as we walked by. Also felt safe the whole time thanks to Elijah!

Thanks to Elijah for a lovely morning walking around Kibera (chocolate city) :) I was the only person on the 8am tour so it was just me and Elijah - we got local snacks, we walked around the slums and chatted about what we saw, he stopped at certain points to discuss different topics - it felt like I was spending the morning with a friend. The slum is a really interesting place full of character - definitely worth a visit. Elijah is really knowledgeable and relaxed. I suggested that he stops at different shops for tourists to try the local foods/snacks as part of his tours - that way he supports the independent shops inside the slums and tourists get to try something new at a very affordable price :)

A really good insight into the history and current situation of Kibera. Both Elijah & Daniel were excellent guides and the work they are doing for their community is both impressive and admirable.
