Welcoming Smiles and Powerful Stories in Kibera

danielgreaves, Apr 2026

I had an incredibly moving and memorable experience visiting Kibera, guided by Elijah and organised by Lucas. From start to finish, it felt authentic, respectful, and genuinely insightful. What stood out most to me was the contrast between what you might expect and what you actually find. There is a real sense of order within the chaos — from the tidy, well-organised market to the intricate maze of streets, everything has its place and rhythm. It completely reshaped my perception. The people we met were warm, welcoming, and full of life. The children in particular were some of the most polite, kind, and joyful I’ve ever encountered. I was fortunate enough to spend time at a school run by my guides, and that was easily one of the most profound and humbling moments of the entire trip. Around every corner, there was another story — not of hardship alone, but of resilience, community, and hope. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to better understand Nairobi beyond the surface, in a way that is both eye-opening and deeply human.

Kibera tour is eye opening and educational.

The Kibera Slum tour was so educational and eye opening. Lucas did a fantastic job leading us through his neighborhood and explaining about the hardships and resilience of its people. The people of Kibera are so special and welcoming. The tour involved a lot of walking on uneven surfaces but well worth it.

Wonderful

I had a wonderful time with Lucas on this tour, learning all about Kibera. This is a walking tour, so you should come prepared to walk a lot (which is something I really enjoyed, but others should be aware before booking). You should also bring water and cash as he does take you to a couple different places to be able to purchase items made by some of the local people. I would definitely recommend this tour to others if you are trying to get a real picture of life in Kibera.

Thank you for the kind review and word Melissa. It was great to meet you and to share stories and insights. Happy to host you again in the future

Excellent Kibera tour

Katarzyna_D, Jan 2025

Such a memorable experience! The tour guides Lucas and Elijah were extremely professional yet offered a personal touch to the experience. They were very knowledgeable, answered every questions we had. Everyone should see Kibera with these guides. I’ve been on other similar tours and they were all good but this one was excellent! 10 out of 10. Bring water, camera, some cash and walking shoes. I did get some locally made jewelry from recycled materials. Enjoy and be ready for the little Kibera residents to steal your heart!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you so much for the kind review and words. It was more than a pleasure to have hosted Kasia and Jan. I really hope you come again soon. Best regards, Lucas.

教育の大切さを改めて感じたプログラム

TOSHIKAZU_N, Jun 2024

正直、プログラムスタート時には、何となく気の重い感じを持っていた。だが、ガイドに案内されながら、スラム内をくまなく散策すると、そこでたくましく生活する住民と、よそ者である私に対して気軽に声をかけてくる気さくさに、だんだんと引きずられ、自然と住民の中に溶け込んでいる自分の心の変化を感じ取っていた。私の住む日本は、経済大国と位置付けられるが、豊かさ上に、過去にあった人間としてぬくもりが失われてきているような気がする。貧しくともパワフルに生活するキベラの住民の姿を見て、少し考えさせられる心の動揺をも感じた。また、寄付で運営されている初等教育の現場を訪れると、合唱など訪問者を迎え入れるイベントが用意されていた。気恥ずかしいような思いをしながらも、可愛い児童たちの歌声が私の心に響いたことを今も生き生きと思い出せる。この場で学び、その後、より広い世界で学べる機会があることを望まずにはいられなかった。一方、ゴミ処理を含む住環境の改善は必至の情勢と目に映った。教育の充実とともに、住環境改善に向けたプログラムを推し進める必要がある。今のキベラの状況を起点に、10年後、20年後のキベラをもう一度見てみたい。
