Tour description

Kibera slum is located in Nairobi, about 6.6 kilometers (4.1 miles) from the City Centre. It is the largest slum in Africa, and one of the largest in the world.

We are a team of 4 local guides;
ERICK, SAMUEL, BENTA and JACK. We were all born, raised and still live here in Kibera Community. We have first-hand insights into the authentic daily life in the Kibera neighborhood.

This tour enables our guests to learn more about the local community's way of life and the history of Kibera slum.

We run a social impact tour business called OAC Kenya Tours (www.oackenya.weebly.com). It is a vehicle for positive change.

We also run a non-profit called KCOOP Organization which was founded and registered in 2022. Our organization operates in Kibera slums and in rural parts of Kenya. The programs of KCOOP Organization include;
1. After school Program
2. Education Program
3. Combating Child Hunger
4. Empowerment Through Arts and Sports
5. Community Outreach

All our regular updates are available on our website and social media pages.

We are now seeking for like minded individuals, organizations or enterprises for partnership to enable us help more needy kids.
