Explore the Kibera Slum on a guided tour from Nairobi. Visit the Soweto Village homesteads, the Curio (handcrafts) Workshop, and a biogas plant. See how the locals live and learn about their daily lives.

Be picked up at your Nairobi hotel and head to Kibera Slums. Be driven through the Ngong road past Uchumi Supermarket, turn left just next to the Kibera DO headquarters through to Bombolulu stage where you start to descend walking into the three-kilometer Main Kibera slum road.

Visit the Soweto Village homesteads, and then continue to the Curio (handcrafts) Workshop where you will witness how those living in the Kibera slums are innovative in making ornaments out of animal bones.

Continue with visits to the Nursery schools and pass by to see the water vendor and the shower shop as you meet other slum dwellers mingling with you as they carry on with their daily chores.

Turn right past the roadside fish mongers into the Biogas plant, the only one of its kind in Africa which will use human waste as its raw material in the production of Biogas which will be used as cooking gas as well as lighting about 200 households once it is accomplished and commissioned.

Proceed to one of the community-based schools run with donations from well-wishers which is a real highlight of Kibera schools. Then, be escorted back to your car and dropped back at your Nairobi hotel.
