Chris arrived to pick us up right on time and explained how we would spend the day. Started with a trip to the top of KICC which was great to see the sun rising over Nairobi. We then did some walking around the city where Chris pointed out all things he thought we would find interesting. Due to a tiring previous 2 weeks, we asked to skip the market and go straight to Kibera. A most interesting time where we didn't feel out of place or intruding at all. Chris took us to meet various artisans and his local pastor and we visitied his church. All in all it is a real eye-opening and value for money few hours and I would recommend this trip, and Chris as a guide to anyone.
