Overview

Enjoy an optional taste of Kenya with a fresh fruit salad or sampling of Nyama Choma (local roasted goat meat). Immerse yourself further by learning essential Swahili phrases from your guide, which you can practice while interacting with locals at the vibrant Nairobi City Market
We’ll share “insider tricks” on how to negotiate the best deals for souvenirs and point out fixed prices local stores. To ensure you’re looking your best, we even include a complimentary shoe shine from a local vendor and a professional street-style photo captured by one of Nairobi’s talented urban photographers.

We promote responsible and sustainable tourism by emphasising photography etiquette, respecting local culture through mindful dressing and engaging kindly with the locals(not giving money). Our tours actively support the local economy by partnering with fruit vendors, shoe shiners, curio traders and street photographers.

We believe in girl power! We have 3 out of 6 of our city guides as women.
