Nairobi: Kibera Slum Guided Tour with Toi Market Visit

Discover the largest urban slum in Africa on a guided tour of Kibera. Visit Toi Market, see the bone crafts group, and learn about the innovative biogas centers.
Take a half-day tour of Kibera, the largest urban slum in Africa, with a growing population of 250,000 people. Learn about the history of the slum and see how the residents have turned trash into treasure.

Start the tour with a walking visit of Toi market, Nairobi’s biggest second-hand market. This market lies just next to Kibera slum and many residents of the slum get their daily bread from running small businesses within it.

Visit Vincento Beads Making business. There, see the amazing beadwork and also, get a chance to buy some of the handmade jewelry as souvenirs.

Proceed to Victorious Bone Crafts Group that has made a major impact to the community and environment at large. The group collects trash, repurposes it and turns it into treasure. The group collects both old and fresh bones from butcheries, brass and horns and transforms them into bowls, trinkets and jewelry. Kibera residents are innovative and resilient people as seen from this endeavor.

Later in the day, visit a typical Kibera house with the help of a guide. Through this, interact one on one with the residents and get to know about their daily life experiences, and what life is like at the slum.

Visit one of the many biogas centers in Kibera and get the insight of how human waste from the residents is transformed into biogas and fertilizer.

Lastly, visit some of the NGOs projects in the area and see how they seek to impact many lives positively in Kibera thus uplifting the community. Some of these NGOs deal with administering help to people living with HIV, orphans as well as dealing with the housing and sanitation problem within the area.

If time allows, you might visit some of the stadiums in Kibera and get to see remarkably talented people practicing and playing football. Kibera residents are ripe with talents and skills but most lack the opportunity to display and earn from them.
