What you'll see and do
Kibera
Kibera is Africa’s second largest informal settlement after Soweto, South Africa. With an estimated one million inhabitants drawn from across the entire East Africa crowded in a 2.5 sq. KM piece of land, Kibera presents you a unique opportunity to experience the other Kenya that is less talked about but that’s full of promise. Erick, our founder, himself lived in Kibera for sometime as he was trying to get professional foothold and has many relatives still living there. Several prominent international figures and celebrities have visited Kibera over the past few years including President Obama, Ban Ki Moon (former UN Secretary General), Gordon Brown (former British Prime Minister) and Bono amongst others to see for themselves this unique settlement ecosystem. You will have opportunity to also see several UN and NGO projects covering housing (slum upgrading), education and health amongst others currently ongoing in the slum geared toward poverty alleviation. Our package gives you a special opportunity to understand the local economy and create employment for our professional youth guides from the slums.

Kibera through the eyes of a local…Highly recommend
This tour of Kibera led by a local gave my husband and I a new perspective and appreciation that Kibera, regardless of the extreme poverty, is a vibrant community with hard working people providing for their families. All the people we met were friendly and happy. Thank you for the amazing walk through Kibera.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re truly glad the tour offered a meaningful perspective and that you experienced the warmth, resilience, and vibrant spirit of the Kibera community. It was an honor to host you.

Excellent
We had an very insight filled tour , our guide was Bramwell who was able to explain a lot of things to us as a local who was born in Kibera. He was well known amongst the community and made everything feel as though we weren't intruding. Recommended if you want to see some real life without the rose colored glasses.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad Bramwell could give you an authentic and eye-opening experience in Kibera. It’s great to hear he made you feel welcome while sharing the community’s real stories. We really appreciate your recommendation!

Why this scores 74

Memorable Daily KIBERA Slums/Toi Market Tour with Locals (2 hours): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Memorable Daily KIBERA Slums/Toi Market Tour with Locals (2 hours) cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Memorable Daily KIBERA Slums/Toi Market Tour with Locals (2 hours) take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.
Is Memorable Daily KIBERA Slums/Toi Market Tour with Locals (2 hours) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Memorable Daily KIBERA Slums/Toi Market Tour with Locals (2 hours)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Memorable Daily KIBERA Slums/Toi Market Tour with Locals (2 hours) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Memorable Daily KIBERA Slums/Toi Market Tour with Locals (2 hours)?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Memorable Daily KIBERA Slums/Toi Market Tour with Locals (2 hours) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nairobi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nairobi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Memorable Daily KIBERA Slums/Toi Market Tour with Locals (2 hours)?
+
Included: Other. Not included: Tips; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Memorable Daily KIBERA Slums/Toi Market Tour with Locals (2 hours)?
+
Green House Mall, 3rd Floor, Suite 16 (Tel: +254 715 880 726) (Sign post: Dr. Komolo & Partners Advocates) Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
