Overview

Kibera is East Africa's largest informal settlement, and has a long and interesting history. Your guide, Ochi, a former professional footballer, is well known throughout Kibera; he was born there and knows the place inside out. You will meet Ochi at the Prestige Plaza shopping mall (Ngong Road), and from there you will walk to Kibera, while Ochi explains some basic rules for going into the slum (it's not dangerous, but it's good to know some basic do's and don'ts). Ochi will take you through Kibera's network of narrow alleys, tell you about its history, and with him you'll find out firsthand how the local people live, as you will visit some homes and meet the locals. Or if you like, you could visit a local art studio, a shop, or a bar or restaurant. There will be a stop for tea or a soda, and at the end of the tour Ochi will walk you back to the shopping mall. Please note this tour is not suitable for people with mobility issues; it involves a fair amount of walking over uneven paths.

Meeting points

We meet at the main entrance of the shopping mall, at 10:00.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

A great enriching experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Ochi is an amazing guide and a wonderfully warm and welcoming guy to be with. As a native of Kibera, he knows everything and everyone and he shows his place with insight, authenticity and respect. It makes the tour an incredibly enriching experience that I cannot recommend enough!

Fascinating insight into the community spirit of kibera from an entertaining residentresident

Published on Sep, 2024

Kibera is a bustling and amazing hub in central Nairobi with so many innovative business and community activities and markets. But you do need a local guide to see the best of them, get inside the buildings to see how people live and work, be introduced to the residents and skilled crafts, and especially to find where the clean and well maintained toilets are!. Well done Ochi aka Francis for this entertaining tour which I can thoroughly recommend.

Great tour

Published on Sep, 2024

Really great tour by ochi ! Would reccomend to everyone who's visiting Nairobi. He took us to many art cooperatives within kibera and also a nice place to eat too. He explained the history and the current situation of kibera well and I felt I learnt a lot from the tour

a MUST-DO Kibera visit!

Published on Sep, 2024

We had a great time walking around in Kibera slums with Ochi, who seems to know everybody there. Very nice chap, he is! He picked us up from the shopping mall and we walked with him into the slum area. People there were very friendly, and we were even invited to come inside a few houses; ... amazing to see how people there live... makes you see your own life in a different perspective... Ochi told us a bit about the history of the slum, and showed us around the different sections of Kibera. We had an interesting traditional lunch, and very tasty.! An awesome experience, highly recommended!
