Tembea Kibera

Lucas was incredible! He showed us Kibera and the resilient and incredible people living there. We learned a lot with him and could witness the amazing initiatives taken in Kibera. You have to visit it to witness what Kibera really is. We were amaze. Lucas is a very kind and friendly person a he made us feel like home at Kibera. I really recommand the tour!

This visit was a highlight of my travels! It was very interesting to see a completely different world and how the locals live, work, and interact with each other. Lucas was the perfect guide and is also an outstanding photographer in case you want great pictures! The locals were so friendly, especially the children. They are very happy to see you and love taking pictures with you! Lucas knew the neighborhood well, so the walking around was done efficiently.

A great opportunity to observe and connect with one of Kenya’s most vulnerable communities. The tour provides insights not only into the circumstances of the community but also into the innovations employed for sustenance and ultimate survival.

A humbling and beautiful experience through a vibrant and soulful community. Benjamin led an amazing tour and provided so much insightful context and statistics about Kibera. The tour felt safe and all hosts shared incredible stories of their lives and experiences. Impossible not to see how tightly knit the community is and appreciate the value this has. Asante sana!

We very much enjoyed our tour with Lucas and Michael. We could ask them anything! Kibera residents consider it their community, not a slum. Despite abject poverty, the people work together to improve conditions. We found the people to be friendly and outgoing. The children are adorable and readily come to say hi and get a high five. Overall, an eye-opening experience and one we encourage others to try.

One of the main things I wanted for my trip to Nairobi was to meet people from all different backgrounds and communities. That is why I decided to take this tour to Kibera. Luca was my guide, he is from Kibera and had a lot to share about his community. I got to meet projects lead by people from the community who are building self-sustainable ways to improve the living conditions of their community. I really recommend this tour for everyone to take, it is a great opportunity for you to meet a community with beautiful and smart people that regardless of life's difficulties, they can convey a lot of hope and strength.

Lucas came to pick us up at our residence and took us to Kibera by matatu, explaining us the system of the transport and telling us about the matatu culture. We had a good stroll around Kibera and he has been really thoughtful and kind all the time; he asked us what our main interests were and took us around accordingly. very nice experience, thank you Lucas!

It was very good experience, we found out Kibera very safe place with asistence of local tour guide Filip. He arranged everything that we wanted to see. We were shooting there documentary and he manage to communicate with locals and he took us to schools and such a friendly women community, it was really fun 10/10

Friendly people full of energy and good vibes. It was a good weekend watching,enjoying and celebrating Manchester United win over ManCity. Special thanks to J.J and Lukii. More plans to experience with our people.

it was the best experience, i got the chance to interact with the locals freely and also learn to cook local foods.

Lucas and Benjamin changed my perception about the great slums of Kibera, what a great place to be thank you so much guy.

It was my most impressive experience in Kenya. This tour shows not only the outline of Kibera but also how people live in reality. The environment may be shocking to people from developed countries. However, smiles of children are heart-warming. I was really surprised at the fact that people in Kibera were friendly. From the point of view of security, I felt it was safer in Kibera with the reliable coordinator of the tour rather than in the central of Nairobi. Above all, Lucas, the coordinator of the tour is reliable and gentle person. I strongly recommend this tour.

Lucas gave a real and experienced view of Kibera from the perspective of someone who loves Kibera and grew up there. Support this tour and support Kibera-born Kenyans. Lucas covered history and language as well as how people live and love in Kibera today.

I and my friend had a really good time with Benjamin, Polycap and Grace from Tembea Kibera, cruising Kibera for an afternoon. Atmosphere's very welcoming in this amazing and dense maze. No better way to end our visit than with a cold beer. See you soon!

Siamo stati accolti in un'abitazione tipica di Kibera e parlato con la famiglia che la abita, approfondendo abitudini, difficoltà, modo di vivere. Abbiamo visitato tre organizzazioni che, portando avanti i loro progetti, cercano di migliorare la qualità della vita degli abitanti, concentrandosi soprattutto sui bambini e sui giovani. L'ambiente e le condizioni igieniche sono terribili, quasi impossibili da immaginare, ma la cosa straordinaria è l'allegria, la disponibilità e la gentilezza di tutti coloro che abbiamo incontrato, il sorriso che ci hanno offerto tutti, ma proprio tutti, anche camminando per strada.
