Fulfilling experience! - My tour guide Walker has really good personality and of course the tour in slum and also Nairobi city was wonderful! He told me a lot of things about the place and took me to a restaurant which serves good local food, popular by local people
今回の案内役であったwalkerはとても優しく素晴らしい人間性をもっていて、スラムツアーはもちろん、ナイロビ市内のツアーもとても充実したものでした。現地の生活だったり人生について丁寧に教えていただいた上、地元の人に人気なケニア食レストランにも連れて行ってもらいました。ありがとうございました！

Eye-opening experience - It is a very interesting and eye-opening experience to visit Kibera. The guide explained the history, struggles of people as well as positive sides such as education projects and improvement in the area. All the people met during the tour were friendly and smiling, and everything was totally safe! It is a solid 2 hours tour which will take you to the most important parts of Kibera. Highly recommend!

Life-changing and Important Experience - Flew from San Francisco to Nairobi last year, and met up with these guys. Had one of the best trips ever being shown how people live, survive, and find hope in Kibera. It was an eye-opening experience, and I’m so thankful to Rally for making it happen. Can’t wait to be back again!

Experience of a lifetime - This tour highlights the fighting spirit of the people of the Kibera slums. It was quite beautiful to see the hope and smiles of children that are not as fortunate as others. It’s an experience everyone should have. My guide Rally is an amazing leader and rolemodel of the community. I was honored to be given the opportunity to tour Kibera.
Thank you

Kibera in Progress - Personal welcome with safe and informative guidance from Rally and Collins.
We were given various (for us) unusual insights, and private moments were shared. Despite the poor conditions, various contacts showed how important social cohesion is. This helps to overcome many difficult and unruly situations.
Empowerment is the motto here and is supported a little more with each day and visit to this tour.
We highly recommend the tour!
