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

Our guide Elijah was very informative during the tour and we had a good time. We visited one of the local joints and we tried the local foods including ugali, chapati, and madondo[beans]. It was a lovely tour generally. BOOK with ELIJAH today and have a lovely experience.

The Uber drivers will always give you a bad impression of Kibera but I assure you the people there are most friendly and it is the safest place I have visited.
