Kevins Kibera Slum Tours

Kevin’s Kibera slum tour is not for the faint-hearted, but it’s an experience I won’t forget. This is a real community, not Disneyland or a luxury hotel. The paths can be dusty or slippery, with bamboo and wooden rails, rubbish, smells and the odd sharp piece of metal overhead. Take care, watch your step and mind your head. I felt safe throughout. Our guides were well known and loved by the community, and they looked after us carefully. The children were the highlight: happy, welcoming and full of life. We visited several classrooms, spoke with teachers and helpers, and saw how community effort and outside support are helping them learn. The teachers volunteer, and the rooms and resources are very basic. We also saw smoke in the kitchen as food was being prepared for the children. It’s an eye-opener, and you can see how much support they need to build a future and have the same opportunities as anyone else. We were welcomed into a family’s home and got a glimpse of how simply people live. Life isn’t perfect here, but people do their best with the cards they’ve been dealt, just as we all do. Please take the tour if you can. Meet the children, listen to the community and support their future. I promise it will be worth every shilling. The pickup and drop off are very convenient and safe to do this tour. I prefer this rather than meeting in kibera alone where I do not know anyone. Guided from door to door. Excellent tour. Take it and you will not regret it 😀

We were picked up right at our hotel by Kevin and after picking up another couple we went directly to Kibera. Kevin explained what we would be doing and gave us the history behind the location and how him and his brother Ishmael began their tours. After parking in a central location we went to two schools and did a home visit at Ismael's house. It was a very humbling tour. Seeing how people here live their daily lives and not only survive but smile with what's been given them. The children at the schools were adorable snd so excited to see us. We brought some school supplies and they were graciously received. So glad we decided to take this tour and help support (through Kevin) the work that is being done in the community to bring food, shelter and education to the most vulnerable.

It was a brilliant, insightful visit and Kevin is very nice. As he says, you call it slum we call it home.

Kevin gave us a wonderful and very insightful tour of Kibera. He told us about the history and origins of the community and gave us a genuine insight into everyday life in Kibera. We were particularly impressed by the school and orphanage that have been established, which we think is a wonderful initiative. Kevin’s brother, who still lives in Kibera, also warmly welcomed us into his home, where we had the opportunity to meet his family and see what everyday housing in Kibera looks like. The tour gave us a much deeper understanding of the Kibera community and the people who live there. We were very impressed by Kevin’s knowledge, openness and the way he shared his personal connection to Kibera. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about Kibera beyond what you see from the outside.

Was a very humbling experience but so worth the visit. Learned a lot about life in Kibera and met some wonderful people. Would highly recommend a visit when in Nairobi

I'm conflicted on which adjectives to use to describe this excursion since the proceeds may be going to a good cause, so I'll detail the excursion as I experienced it in a party of 3: We were greeted by a professional guide named Ismael and then taken by Uber to the slums. We then spent the next hours navigating slippery and hazardous walkways and steps. They were slick and hazardous due to runoff, sewage, and dilapidation. Some pathways were poorly lit, requiring the use of our cellphone lights. Additionally, some of the corrugated metals used to construct the homes were frayed, carrying with them a severe risk of getting cut as we passed by. I would have liked the guide's professionalism to extend to this portion of the excursion to ensure we all were navigating safely and to be mindful of any hanging sharp edges. We spent time visiting classrooms where we were greeted with rehearsed welcomes and asked seemingly prepared questions. Some of the classrooms were poorly ventilated as we stood amongst the children and audible coughs. Our party was split on this experience; I wanted it to end 30 minutes into it while my brother was totally engaged. At the end, however, I was happy that I did not end the excursion prematurely because the man who operated the bone workshop was very lively and a pleasure to be around. What Tripadvisor should have included in this excursion post is that hiking footwear (or something similar) is recommended, high tolerance for foul aromas, mosquito repellent due to standing water, not recommended for individuals with respiratory issues (i. e., asthma), and high potential for slips, trips, and falls.

Excellent tour from Ishmael, it was a truly eye opening experience and the best way to meet the wonderful citizens of Kibera who were incredibly welcoming and kind. Highlights are the school visit - the children will ask you hard questions about your own country, and are grateful for what they have. I would wholeheartedly recommend.

I can absolutely recommend this tour with Kevin. From the beginning, he was professional, reliable and very friendly. One thing to keep in mind is Nairobi traffic – it can be extremely unpredictable, especially during rush hour. Our tour started a little later because of traffic, but this was absolutely no problem. Nothing was shortened or rushed. I saw everything that was planned, had plenty of time at every stop and felt very well looked after throughout the entire tour. What impressed me most was that this did not feel like somebody simply guiding tourists through Kibera. Kevin grew up here, still has family in the community and seems to know people everywhere. You quickly realize how important the word “community” is to him. We visited kindergarten classes, a school, local projects and workshops, walked through different parts of Kibera and I was even invited into his brother’s home, where I had tea and shared breakfast with the family. These personal encounters made the tour particularly memorable. Before booking, I had actually thought quite a lot about whether visiting Kibera as a tourist could feel inappropriate or voyeuristic. After doing the tour, I am very glad I went. Kevin and his brother treated the people we met with respect, and at no point did I feel that poverty was being presented as an attraction. Instead, I learned a lot about everyday life, the challenges people face and, above all, what they manage to build with extremely limited resources. Kevin also supports projects within the community, which was another important aspect for me. So if your pickup is a little late: don’t panic. Nairobi traffic is Nairobi traffic. :-) Kevin is reliable, takes excellent care of you, gives you all the time you need and makes sure you get the complete experience. For me, this was not only a tour of Kibera, but one of those travel experiences that stays with you afterwards. Highly recommended.

Lonely Planet and other misguided publications say "don't do slum tours." They are wrong and Kevin and his brother will show you why. You have to take their tour to understand what daily life is like for the residents of Kibera, Africa's biggest slum. With Kevin's tour, you will see what this neighborhood is really like. You will be welcomed. You will learn a lot. You will have a chance to donate to his worthy charity. You will meet wonderful children and very friendly people. I came away feeling hopeful--not sad--because there are many bright and capable people living in Kibera. By booking this tour, you can help Kevin and his brother give people a chance in this neighborhood. Yes, book the tour!

Fantastic tour by Kevin. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his community and highlighting the needs of that community and their collective spirit.

Outstanding tour. Eye opening experience that everyone that visits Nairobi should see. It’s heartbreaking & heartwarming at the same time. Kibera is a place that really makes you stop and think. Walking through Nairobi’s Kibera informal settlement, I saw how difficult everyday life can be—crowded housing, limited access to clean water and sanitation, unemployment, poverty, and very few resources. Yet what struck me most was that Kibera is so much more than hardship. It’s a community filled with families, businesses, schools, artists, and people working incredibly hard to create better lives. I explored Kibera with Kevin’s Kibera Slum Tours, and having a guide who was born and raised here made a huge difference. Kevin shares his own story, introduces visitors to local families and businesses, and takes guests to places including a school/orphanage, bonecraft workshop, biogas project, market and his family home. Most importantly, his tour gives back: booking profits help support the local community and send children to school, and Kevin says he has rescued street children and volunteers with the school.

Kevin offers a truly impressive tour of Kibera. You leave with countless eye-opening impressions, but also with lasting memories of incredibly warm and welcoming people and children whose stories stay with you long after the tour has ended.

Great experience. The guide took me to his house and told the whole story of Kibera from a perspective of someone who grew up there. Absolutely truthful and open to all the questions. Highly recommend

Kevin was AMAZING! He and his brother provided so much education about the Kibera Slums. I did a private tour with 2 friends. Wear good closed toe walking shoes as there is some hiking involved. Everyone was so friendly. The kids are absolutely adorable and you can tell they really love their schools and education. I will recommend his tours to everyone interested in learning about how the slums came to be & current life in the slums.

An incredible day with our family of 5 (50, 49, 20, 19, 17). Setup was easy and convenient, communication throughout was excellent. The experience was one our family will never forget. Truly unique. We were hesitant that would feel unsafe but we were secure the entire time. Higjly Recommend!

I felt safe at all times with our tour guide Ismail, and I consider the experience that this tour through Kibera offers - getting to know life and conditions in the slum - to be a great personal enrichment. I would take the tour again when the opportunity arises.

I had an unforgettable experience with Kevin's Kibera Slum Tour. What impressed me the most was Kevin himself. Having grown up in Kibera, he guides visitors with genuine passion, pride, and a strong sense of purpose. I could clearly see that this is much more than a business for him—he truly wants people to understand the community and its future. During the tour, I was able to learn about the daily lives of people in Kibera, the challenges they face, the positive changes that are already happening, and the potential for further development. The experience gave me a much deeper and more balanced perspective than I could ever get from news or social media. I joined the tour alone, but I felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire visit. Kevin was also very respectful of the local community and carefully explained where photography was appropriate and where it was not, which helped me feel confident that I was being a responsible visitor. If you want to understand the real Kibera with an honest and respectful guide, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Kevin, for sharing your story and your community with us.

This tour was awesome and real eye-opener. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience something different. Kevin and his brother (Ishmael? Dont know the spelling) were professional, knowledgeable, very entertaining, and with high customer service skills. The only thing that was disappointing was booked a private tour in which in reality (in my opinion) it is a group tour if another group books on the same day as you go everywhere with them. However, that being said, it was truly a fantastic tour and I highly recommend this to everybody.

Fanatic tour around the Kibera Slum in Nairobi. Visiting the school children was a massive highlight. So many smiling faces. Kevin and his brother did an amazing tour with providing lots of information about the different communities within the slum. The bone workshop was very interesting - and the team were great fun!

Great tour, Kevin walked us trough a part of the slum, and we got to meet families, kids and workers.

I had the pleasure of meeting both Kevin and his brother Ismail during my visit to Kibera. As they’ve both been brought up in Kibera, they’re very knowledgeable and are very eager to tell you all about life in Kibera. They’re great guys which care deeply about both the community within Kibera and the orphanage/school they support. I would highly recommend booking this tour!

This tour was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. I have visited Slums before in other African Countries, however I have never been personally invited into someone's home. This tour began with our tour guide Ismael picking us up at our AirBnB in Nairobi. We then drove to the Slums of Kibera and walked through the community to Ismael's home where we met his wife and daughter. Ismael explained the history of the Slums and how even living in these conditions, the people living there pay rent. I was quite surprised that the government would allow people to pay to live in these conditions, but after interacting with the people of the community, it became clear that because the people of the community pay to live there, they are vested in their community. The Slums was not only homes, but an entire community with stores, schools. car washes, and much more. We visited a local school and engaged with the children. That was quite a treat. We also visited a Bone workshop where the local men take cattle and camel bones and turn them into beautiful jewelry, chopsticks, napkin holders and a variety of other thing. While walking through the community, everyone was very welcoming because Ismael explained to us that the profits from our tour (and every tour) goes back to community in some way. Our tour was small and private and I would recommend attending this tour with a small group to make it more personable.

This was an awesome experience I will never forget. Ismael was great. My daughter and I were invited into his home where his wife was very hospitable. The village was an educational experience. The bone factory was also amazing and taught me a lot about recycling to make thing work creatively. Will share with my American friends and family. Thank you so much.

Kevin took us on an amazing tour of Kibela with his brother Ismael. What a fantastic opportunity to see how people live in such challenging conditions and feel the spirit of those living there. The fact that Keven picked us up and dropped us at our hotel was a huge benefit as it is not easy to move around the city. I highly recommend this tour.

Our visit to Kibera was one of the most powerful and eye-opening experiences my wife and I have ever had. Unlike the safari tours that focus on Kenya’s breathtaking wildlife and landscapes, this tour focused on something even more important — the people. Kibera is considered the largest informal settlement in Africa, with nearly 800,000 people living there. Before the tour even began, our amazing guide Kevin picked us up from our hotel in Nairobi. During the drive, he gave us a detailed and honest introduction to Kibera’s history, its current situation, and the many initiatives being taken to uplift the community — including projects he and his brother Ismael personally lead to support local families. From the very beginning, we felt this would be a meaningful experience. As we walked through different areas of Kibera, we witnessed the harsh reality of how people live there. The conditions are undeniably difficult. However, what touched us most was something deeper: the incredible sense of community. Despite the challenges, the bonds between people seemed stronger than ever. Everyone was kind, supportive, and respectful toward one another. There was dignity, warmth, and humanity everywhere we looked. Kevin guided us thoughtfully and respectfully, explaining daily life while ensuring we felt comfortable at all times. One of the most special moments of the tour was visiting Ismael’s home. Meeting his family was a privilege. They welcomed us with such warmth and kindness — we immediately felt like friends, not visitors. Sitting together, sharing conversations, and experiencing life inside a home in Kibera is something that truly raises awareness and shifts perspectives. It reminds you that behind statistics and headlines, there are families, dreams, and love. The most emotional and uplifting part of the tour was visiting the local orphanage and school that supports more than 250 children. We met several classes, their teachers, and the principal and founder of the school. The dedication of everyone involved is extraordinary. But the real highlight? The children. Their smiles, their hugs, their discipline, their respect — they genuinely change you. These are incredibly well-educated and well-mannered kids who radiate hope and potential. It was inspiring to see the excellent work being done by those supporting their education and upbringing. This part of the tour will stay in our hearts forever. We were also impressed by how discreet and respectful the local residents were. Not a single person approached us to sell something or ask for money. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. Most importantly, not even for a single moment did we feel unsafe. We ended the experience with a stop at a bone handicraft shop — a wonderful final touch that supports local artisans and allows visitors to contribute directly to the community. This tour is not just a visit. It is an experience that changes the way you see the world. It reminds you of what really matters — community, resilience, dignity, and hope. Kevin and Ismael, who were born and raised in Kibera, are doing incredible work alongside many others to uplift their community. By joining this tour, you not only learn — you also contribute in a small but meaningful way to their efforts. We strongly encourage everyone visiting Nairobi to take this tour. It will move you, inspire you, and stay with you forever. We truly loved the local community.

This tour is a must for every visitor to Nairobi. It creates perspective, gratitude, anger, disappointment and a massive load of joy. The school visit is a must! Brothers Kevin and Ishmal are smart, honest and determined to improve the lives of those that live in Kibera. But they need help. Joining the tour is a big part of that. I really recommend all people take a visit.

Our family of four including 2 children aged 14 and 10 years visited Kibera with Kevin and his brother on a half day tour in December. It was such a great experience and one of the highlights of our trip. Kevin was very informative and our daughters really enjoyed meeting and chatting with the kids from the local school/orphanage. I can highly recommend Kevin's tour of Kibera. Take some Ksh or US$ if you would like to make a donation to the school.

I can't recommend this tour enough! Kevin was an awesome guy that made me feel very at ease and informed about Kibera, as he was ready to answer all my questions. I really felt like it was a natural, not artificial, easy way to get to know the slums and it's people, who are very welcoming, I never felt unsafe. Across our stops at his sister's place, the school/orphanage, and the bones workshop, I felt like I was privileged to access a bit of Kibera culture, and you will be too! I recommend Kevin and his tour to all who visit Nairobi as you will be contributing to the community, and after the tour I got to understand how, which makes the impact I can have on the community very tangible. All in all, it was a unique opportunity to learn and reflect that you should not miss!

My wife and I toured with Kevin on our first day of our Kenya 2 week trip. The experienced changed our lives. Meeting Kevin and his brother as our hosts for the day was warm, friendly, very welcoming. Then the children both in the orphanage and throughout touched our hearts. Everyone smiling in delight to see us as we exchanged our loving smiles, and high fives. I know everyone will that meets this community with Kevin will truly feel God's love as we did and seek to support as we continue to do.

I went on a private guided tour of Kibera with Kevin to see a different side of Nairobi beyond the usual sights. Kibera is in the southwest of Nairobi and easy to reach from central areas. Kevin is from Kibera and clearly knew the community well, approaching the tour with respect and insight. It was a meaningful opportunity to meet people and learn about daily life firsthand. A highlight was visiting a school that supports particularly disadvantaged children. Later, we came across a group of local dancers who gave an impromptu performance. Views on visiting such settlements vary, but led by a community member and approached thoughtfully, I found this tour to be respectful, informative, and focused on understanding rather than spectacle.

Thank you kevin and his brother , they where both nice n felt safe around them well respected it was a great amazing experience something in life i cant forget n never will . It was a supper good tour thank you so much this is what i always wanted to see.

Kevin promptly picked us up, he and brother Ismael provided excellent tour as described. Learning how residents of Kibera live and support each other, the community development work Kevin is involved in is heart warming. My 12 y/o granddaughter visited on a clear sunny day and navigated the dark,narrow, steep and irregular steps with occasional assistance from the guys. There is a strong sense of community among folks surviving in this urban jungle. Despite misperceptions, many folks do have jobs and earn incomes. I was initially hesitant to book, but after reading numerous positive reviews, I took the plunge and booked the tour. Granddaughter came away with a sense of how blessed she is and with empathy for others living in difficult circumstances…exactly the lesson I hoped to impart.

Very informative tour that connects you with the local community ! Kevin is doing an amazing job there!

Kevin showed me around the area of Kibera slums he grew up in. We visited an orphanage/school, he’s parents house and some local craftsman’s. I highly recommend Kevin’s Kibera tour if you are short on time and want an amazing Nairobi experience. Thank you for showing me around your home Kevin, Robert

This was a very interesting tour. Everyone in America should experience this so they are more grateful for all that they have. This is a tough way of life without any modern conveniences. I must say Kevin‘s family was super nice and very inviting. Kevin’s a nice guy. I think I would’ve wanted to know more about how you get a place or how do you get a second story place or how do you expand. How is it that some people have some electricity and all that

Kevin — thank you for welcoming us into your community and teaching us about your lives in Kibera. We learned so much from your family and friends. Visiting Kibera has been one of the most important and eye-opening experiences of our trip. For others considering this experience — we highly recommend this tour. Kevin’s group is made up of locals born and raised in Kibera, and they’ll introduce you to residents as you walk around. The tour is about connection, education, and supporting the community.

We were especially impressed with Kevin and his brothers genuine desire to help others in this, their community. We could not stop smiling as we met the many residents all smiling to see us. Meeting the school children was the highlight. I feel compelled and empowered by God, called, touched, blessed to help serve God.

We had an impactful experience on Kevin’s tour! He made us feel welcomed and showed us what we could do to help. He’s an awesome and charismatic guide who truly has a heart for what he does.

What a way to gain some much needed perspective. Kevin is an amazing guy making a difference and changing so many lives. He introduced us to so many resilient and beautiful people in the neighborhood, who welcomed us into their world for a couple hours.

Simply, OH WOW! What a jarring, eye opening experience to visit the Kibera slum and see the school that is educating the children living there. I must say I was incredibly overwhelmed to see such poverty so up close and personal. I must say that the teachers at the Future Stars Development Centre School are angels walking amongst us and are doing God's work I'm convinced. The heat and the stench left me exhausted and dehydrated so be prepared to take lots of water as there's none there that can be consumed safely. I feel privileged to see how people, who we would think should lose hope and give up, are working hard every day to educate the children living in Kibera. A humbling experience I will never forget!

I visited Kilbera with my sister a couple if days ago. It was a very enlightening tour, with Kevin. We wandered around the area he grew up in, and without spoiling the visit for others, we learned about life as a youth growing up, about the orphanage and school he supports through his foundation, and how some criminals have turned their life around. We also visited his father Jack, in his home, and chatted about life, parenting, future prospects, and retirement. What a fabulous experience! If you want, bring some cash to donate to the orphanage.

My sister and I took Kevin’s tour of Kibera and he was so interesting and informative and obviously so well respected in his community. Kevin gives back to his community through many programs including the school which we visited, home to 250 students including 29 orphans. We also visited his father’s house and shared tea and conversation. I feel that I have a greater understanding of the culture of Kibera and their hope for future generations. I would highly recommend Kevin’s tour.

This tour offered a truly unique cultural experience. It went beyond the surface and gave real insight into the way of life for the slum residents. Despite limited resources, the sense of community was palpable. Kevin was very engaging and provided safe guidance the entire time. His knowledge and passion for his community is very evident. Love the way he and his brother are giving back to the community. It was a pleasure visiting his family home for tea and meeting his sister and brother. Also loved visiting the school, students and teachers. Be prepared for alot of walking, sometimes uphill and in narrow spaces. Also, due to a lack of plumbing resources, there may be smells at times. Something to keep in mind if you are sensitive. The experience is 1000% worth it. I booked this tour as a solo traveler and had a great time, especially meeting others on the tour. If you are open to bringing gifts, the community school could use supplies and the children love candy treats. If you are into immersive, unique, cultural experiences, this is the tour for you. It was an unforgettable experience that I would definitely do again!

Walking through this particular village was very eye opening. Kevin still lives here with his family and knows everybody. It was a Sunday, but Kevin did bring school children to meet me. People were very friendly - the village was bustling. I was impressed with the number of small businesses, cleanup efforts, schooling, and all the laughter. I really liked the tour and will go back next time visit the art and empowerment centers. Thanks Kevin for your hospitality!

​An Authentic and Unforgettable Experience ​This tour with Kevin was an incredibly eye-opening and informative experience. Kevin, a resident of the Kibera community, provided a truly authentic and meaningful look into daily life there. ​During the tour, we visited a crafts workshop where bones are repurposed into beautiful art. The main marketplace was a vibrant hub of activity. A key part of the tour was the visit to an orphanage school and Kevin's family home, which offered a direct look at community life. ​The experience felt authentic and was a valuable learning opportunity. Knowing that a portion of the tour fee supports the local community adds to the tour's positive impact. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Nairobi who wants to gain a better understanding of the Kibera community. I felt extremely safe with Kevin as everyone in Kibera knew him and was kind towards him and the group.

Thank you so much Kevin. Communication pre tour excellent, arrived on time for direct hotel pick up. Very informative insight into the way of life in Kibera.. We were taken into a school, met the children, also taken into Kevin’s father’s house where we heard more about life in the slum. Would recommend Kevin to anyone thinking of doing this tour. For people with mobility issues , there is some walking over uneven ground, up and down some slopes.

The tour exceeded our expectations. Kevin is well known in the area, which gave us the best insight into the community. We also felt welcome everywhere because he knows so many people. He does a lot for his community, supporting kids and families, which is the most important part. If you are visiting Nairobi, this tour is a must to truly understand the reality of life there and being able to contribute as well.

On July 30, 2025, I had the privilege of taking a tour of the Kibera Slum. It was an experience that has stayed with me in the most profound way. The tour was incredibly moving, especially seeing firsthand the lives of the residents and the challenging conditions that they face. Walking through the narrow streets, I could feel the weight of the community’s struggles, but also the strength and resilience of the people who call Kibera home. One of the most emotional moments for me was visiting the school and orphanage in Kibera. The children, despite their circumstances, had such bright smiles and an undeniable sense of hope. I couldn’t hold back my tears. It was humbling to witness the incredible efforts being made to support these children and to give them a chance at a better future. What really made this tour stand out, however, was the way Kevin and his brother Ismael conducted the entire experience. They grew up in Kibera themselves and it was clear from the moment I met them how deeply they care about their community. Their kindness and generosity are well known in the area, and it’s not just about showing tourists around - they are genuinely invested in educating visitors about the realities of life in Kibera. Kevin and Ismael were incredibly proactive, making sure we understood the history, the challenges, and the incredible work being done in Kibera. They spoke with such passion and commitment, and it was inspiring to see how they’re using their experiences to educate the world and make a difference in their home. Kevin and his brother invited me and another client to his mother’s house for tea. The warmth and hospitality we were shown was overwhelming. It was such a meaningful experience to sit with them in their home, share stories, and truly feel like part of their community, even for just a short while. This is not just a tour - it is a chance to open your heart and mind to the resilience of a community. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Kevin and Ismael are doing incredible work, and I feel honoured to have been part of this eye-opening journey.
