Eye‑Opening Tour of Kibera with an Excellent Guide

5.00This tour was truly eye‑opening and meaningful. My guide, Zack, was excellent. He was professional, knowledgeable, and very attentive throughout the experience. The tour offered valuable insight into daily life within the community, and at all times I felt safe and well‑guided. I also appreciate that booking this tour supports the KCOOP non‑profit organization, which does incredible work for the children in the community. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to learn, connect, and contribute to a positive cause.
A must see tour!

5.00The Kibera slum tour is excellent value and an essential trip for anyone visiting Nairobi. At the start of the journey, you meet Erick, who tells you about his KCOOP non-profit organisation, which does invaluable work in Kibera. Next, you meet your two guides who escort you for a guided tour around Kibera. We had two excellent guides in Zack and the delightful Benta. The guides are very friendly and informative, and they can answer all your questions about life in Kibera. They take you inside a local's home, and you visit an area supported by KCOOP where they feed and engage in activities with local children. The tour is very safe, and I never once felt uncomfortable in Kibera when taking photographs. Life is incredibly tough for the locals in the slum, with little in the way of services or government support. Life in Kibera is incredibly challenging, with limited services and government support. Despite this, the people are very resourceful, and there is a vitality in Kibera that gives you optimism for the future. There are two things I would advise before taking the tour: please bring some food for the children, and do not wear your best footwear. When you have completed the tour, please consider following KCOOP on social media, where you can learn about ways to support the organisation, including sponsoring a child.
Unique experience

5.00See how people live or survive in this city within a city . People are very friendly. I didn't feel any danger at all. See how people access water. Local children always smiling despite their circumstance Co-op store at the end of the tour has carvings paintings prints built by local artists at reasonable prices. Stay away from the maasai market And the money goes to the community. For example, I bought a carved giraffe for five bucks in the massai market. It would cost 20 but extra donations are accepted
Great!

5.00No, it's not voyeurism, but immersion in the true sense of the word. AOC Kenya tours through its local NGO helps improve the daily lives of Kimbera's kids. We were very late (because of a bus), and we had a hard time finding the starting point, but once done it was just perfect! The information, the walking tour, the contact with the locals, and above all the incredible Welcoming of the children. They all lived up to what our tourist carcasses could perceive. Something that we keep deep down and grow up. Thanks to AOC.......
Wonderful exploring the real locals!

5.00The way Lucas has designed this tour was perfectly done. I met with his sister, Elfie, who was my tour guide for this one, at the starting point first. Then we walked through a very extended market; clothes, second hand stuff (clothes and household items), fresh food and fruits, and then those workshops for furniture refurbishment. Wonderfull walking tour to see real life of Kenyan locals in the city. We also had a stop at the community school. Students came out to welcome, made greetings, and gave hugs. Lovely day!
Our tours guides were kevin a d Emmanuel, they went above and beyond to provide excellent and detailed service

5.00Visiting Kibera is hard and rewarding at the same time. You will probably meet the most resilient people on earth. Zack and his friends were so nice and welcoming. They tell you what their needs are without shame or pity, and without pressuring you to make any monetary contribution (which, at the end of the visit, you would like to do anyway). There is a sense of dignity in this tour; it is not a human safari, it is real and rough. I would advise making it with KCOOP because they are locals, not foreign NGOs - they have lived in Kibera and they know better than anyone what is required for the neighbourhood. Personally, I don't like pictures being taken of the kids - even if you are free to take pictures, remember that they are not food for your IG / Facebook content, nor do they consent to it in the first place. Overall, this experience would change one's life. I cannot but highly recommend it if you are really interested in knowing how people in Kibera live and what their concerns, ambitions, and hopes are.
An important part of any...

5.00An important part of any trip to Kenya so you can see all of the country and it's wonderful people. Erik knows the community very well, having been raised in Kibera and still living there. He's a great guide, full of stories and introductions to wonderful kids he helps. Highly recommended for anyone interested it a more full trip to this fantastic country and its people.
Eye-Opening and Respectful Local Experience

5.00This tour gave us an honest and respectful insight into everyday life in one of Nairobi’s most vibrant and resilient communities. Our guides, Emmanuel and Zack, live in the area themselves and offered a perspective that was both personal and meaningful. We felt safe, welcomed, and deeply moved by the experience. It’s not a tour about sights – it’s a tour about people, community, and reality. Thank you, Emmanuel and Zack, for sharing your world with us.
The best experience

5.00This is a unique experience in Nairobii. Everyone goes to Kenya for safari, but on the way there, you can do this. You'll be in Nairobi for a few nights anyway. It may seem expensive, but it's not. You get back so much of what you see and experience, from the kids. Just fantastic. Have you ever seen more than 100 kids excited about you? Small efforts by us make many happy there and put a smile on their faces. Don't forget to bring your second-hand clothes.
