It was so interesting and Ismael explained everything. He is doing great work there and makes a big difference! Thank u for sharing your stories

We had the most wonderful tour and would highly recommend! We learnt so much, met amazing people and felt very safe with Ismael. Thank you for sharing your warm and welcoming community with us, we will never forget it. M&M x

Kevin was an excellent guide. Very personable and knowledgeable. Tour was enlightening and a must so while in Nairobi. We learned a lot and felt welcomed during the Kibera tour. Definitely worth it.

My husband and I had such a great time during our tour with Kevin through the Slum. Kevin was very informative, kind and made us feel safe throughout the entire tour. I highly recommend Kevin's Slum Tour.

Absolutely fascinating learning about life in Kibera. Ismael was very friendly and even invited me into his home to show how he lived and to meet his family. He showed me the around the area and took me to the local school. It was an absolute eye opener and reminder to be grateful. Highly recommended

Kevin came and picked us up on time from our airbnb, we instantly connected talking about our organizations and how we can help out the children & people in the Kibera Slums. Kevin and his brother, Ismael were so friendly, kind and polite to my husband and I. This tour was such an humbling experience for us to witness the present living conditions and for the people & children to be smiling, happy and joyous spirits, so amazing! We felt welcomed from start to finish! We were invited to Kevin's Mom's home for African Tea & delightful conversation! We were invited to Kevin's home to meet his wife & youngest daughter, older children were attending school. We met with the precious children of the "Future Stars Development Center" and OMG!, that time spent with them & their teachers was the best ever!❤️❤️❤️ Our organization "It could be me" has decided to partner with Kibera Action to help with updated modern bathroom facilities for the school, to help with textbooks, to help with meals for the children and much more!!! With much love, appreciation and gratitude for Kevin, Ismael, Mom, Future Stars children and Teachers we thank you for this wonderful opportunity and we are looking forward to a partnership of a lifetime! In Him we serve! Amen and Amen!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

The tour was indeed life changing as most reviewers stated,. Unfortunately we didn’t have “Kevin” as our tour guide and I was initially disappointed we didn’t get to meet this “angel” .. however, he did send his brother “Ishmael” and he was a gracious guide who led us around safely and invited us into his home. We also met his sweet wife and shared conversation about dreams for their young daughter. He then led us into the local school and orphanage where we met several individuals who were incredibly inspiring… I have to say their spirit and that of the smiling children living there has touched my heart forever . I witnessed their resilience, determination, and positivity which was is a good reminder of the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity.

A very important tour, coming from a country which doesn't have slums like this it was very eye opening to see how some people live. Government services here are lacking, and it is very inspiring to see how the people of Kibera have come together to provide water, power, healthcare, education and toilets to their community. Kevin and his brother Ishmael are great guides and will show you around many different parts of the slum, teaching you about life there and answering any questions you have. Online there is a bit of debate about whether these tours are ethical. From our experience, we see the difference Kevin and his family are able to make to the slum with the money they get from our tours, through creating businesses to employ reformed criminals, supporting the schools and supplying food to the hungry.

I think regular slum visits should be a necessity for every human, until the points slums no longer exist. We were picked up by Ishmael and he communicated clearly throughout. We visited some reformed criminals running a car wash, saw how water/electricity was provided to the slums, and visited Ishmael's home and met his wife and daughter. We then visited two schools, one of which doubled as an orphanage for those students without parents, and the other which had a not for profit sewing workshop on site. We also visited Ishmael's parents home, and his youngest brother was kind enough to treat us to a rap. The tour concluded with a visit to a bone workshop. I would happily go again, and it's good to know the funds are being put to good use. Don't worry or hesitate to book. You will be well looked after.

Ishmail was a kind hearted and knowledgeable guide. He was eloquent, as well as interesting. He answered every question of the guests. He engaged the quieter guests. The walk is long and it can have some need for agility and physicality. It is an adventure that makes you know you could not do this on your own!!! The residents were so welcoming. I was very happy to learn about life in Kibera and see the team efforts in ongoing improvement.

Fantastic tour, experiencing the heart of Kibera with Kevin and Ishmael who were such warm, friendly and hospitable guides. We visited their homes, a local school/ orphanage, a cow bone jewelry making factory and was even given an excellent Kenyan restaurant recommendation which was very much appreciated. Do yourself a favor and book a tour with this company. It will be a memorable experience for certain!

Just finished Kevin's tour yesterday, March 7 and the immersion into Kibera poverty was amazing. The tour was well worth the time it takes to meet and experience so many beautiful humans struggling just to survive under incredibly austere living conditions. You will not really know life and culture in Subsaharan Africa without taking this tour or one very similar.

One of the best experience in Nairobi so far. The tour really takes you to the depth of the slams, providing you with an authentic and shocking experience. Our guide Kevin grow up there, and involve in many projects to help Kibera community. Going to the tour means supports Kibera. Highly recommend!

This tour was absolutely amazing. The guide was very insightful and knowledgeable. I love the school and the school children were phenomenol. I had an amazing time

What an eye opener, if it hadn’t been for Kevin we would not have seen this part of Nairobi, very well done! He knows all the corners and most if not all people, it’s about the connections, now we feel part of his family. God’s blessings as you continue to help this community, those children will one day thank you for what all you have done

Kevin did an amazing job showing us Kibera, such rich history and amazing how this town operates. And thank you for inviting us into your home to introduce us to your family, we felt so welcomed and are considering your family now part of our family. May God bless you and your work

Your was more than AMAZING….Kevin was awesome and I’m very proud of this man. Keep up the good work!

I landed in Kenya on a layover to Ethiopia and didn’t want to sit around in the airport all day. I booked this tour with Kevin and I was not disappointed. Kevin answered all my questions about Kibera, daily life and struggles as well as shared from his own experience. Kevin took me to a local community school and orphanage and a bone factory in the slums and I was in awe of the stories I was told. I would recommend you using Kevin as your guide in Kenya, he is knowledgeable and will make you feel safe.

We were concerned with the safety of our kids and my parents going into Kibera, Kevin and Ishmael provided a safe environment that showed the true connection and compassion in the community. Everyone that we met was so welcoming. The impact that Kevin is having on his community is incredible. The kids need opportunities to learn in a safe environment with a full belly, they have so much potential. We were deeply moved by this experience and would highly recommend it to anyone. Kevin and Ishmael were so incredible!!

Anyone traveling to Nairobi must take a tour of the Kibera Slum. The guide grew up in the slum, and still lives there (Ismael.). The walk through is very safe as everyone knows the guide and trusts him. What stuck me most -- the children are running through the dilapidated neighborhood where they can easily fall through holes in sidewalks and but themselves on broken metal roofs and other dangers -- but they smile and enjoy themselves. Also Ismael showed us a school created for orphans, and the cave-like dwellings where the orphans reside. There are kind-hearted people running "pop up" schools with little or no funding -- focusing on raising funds to get the brightest kids out of the slums and into boarding schools. You will feel some hope after the visit, but you'll also wonder why the Kenyan Government can't at least provide clean water, toilets and showers to more people. It is quite frustrating.
