This is a safe walking tour.
Ideal for people on a layover.
We treat you to a safe fruit salad. We might engage you in cooking Chapati or ugali which are very popular foods in Kenya. We sit in one of the local restaurants to have a feel of the food experience in Nairobi. We pay for your shoes to be cleaned at shoe cleaning kiosk and we treat you to a street photo shoot. All optional.
While you can stroll around Nairobi by yourself, you cant compare this to the wealth of information you would get from our guide(s). The sense of security and ease of getting around wouldn't also compare.
We also teach you some everyday cool Nairobi slang and basic Swahili words and sentences. We basically teach you how to blend into the culturally diverse city.
