The Kibera Slum tour was so educational and eye opening. Lucas did a fantastic job leading us through his neighborhood and explaining about the hardships and resilience of its people. The people of Kibera are so special and welcoming. The tour involved a lot of walking on uneven surfaces but well worth it.
Wonderful

I had a wonderful time with Lucas on this tour, learning all about Kibera. This is a walking tour, so you should come prepared to walk a lot (which is something I really enjoyed, but others should be aware before booking). You should also bring water and cash as he does take you to a couple different places to be able to purchase items made by some of the local people. I would definitely recommend this tour to others if you are trying to get a real picture of life in Kibera.
Excellent Kibera tour

Such a memorable experience! The tour guides Lucas and Elijah were extremely professional yet offered a personal touch to the experience. They were very knowledgeable, answered every questions we had. Everyone should see Kibera with these guides. I’ve been on other similar tours and they were all good but this one was excellent! 10 out of 10. Bring water, camera, some cash and walking shoes. I did get some locally made jewelry from recycled materials. Enjoy and be ready for the little Kibera residents to steal your heart!

Good tour. But I'm left a bit orphaned: what should I think about this? Who should tackle this?
