Description

Nai Nami is a Storytelling tour taking place in the heart of Nairobi Downtown in the city centre (not slum!). Your guides are school drop-outs and former street children who raised themselves at an early age in those streets.

During a 3-hour walking tour in the city centre, your personal guides will make you experience their so-called former “home” and share with you their captivating life stories connected to the places you visit. They will tell you how they ended up in the streets, show you how they survived, teach you their street skills, give you the real local insights and inspire you with their ghetto-energy.

Even more important, they will share with you how they transformed to reasonable young men, how they look back on their former lifestyle and how they are nowadays trying to improve the situation of their families and friends. We will have max. two guests per guide to facilitate an inspiring exchange.

Inside stories
We had such a special tour with these guys. Their stories are hard to believe and really touched me. So much power and persistence that they survived. It so important to learn more about this part of Kenya. I really wish them all the luck with their great mission
Off the beaten track
This was an opportunity to walk the streets of Nairobi that we would never see. It was an opportunity to hang out with ex street kids, eat the local food and to hear their stories. All three showed the two of us around. We felt safe and well looked after on the walking tour. Highly recommend.
