Begin your tour with a convenient pickup from your hotel or designated meeting point within Nairobi city. Start your tour at Nairobi Museum of Illusions. Inside the museum itself, look out for these specific highlights:
- The Vortex Tunnel: A spinning sensory illusion that makes a stationary bridge feel like it is rotating wildly.
- The Infinity Room: Step into a mirrored room of endless reflections and lights.
- The Ames Room: Watch people appear to magically shrink or grow as they move from one corner to the other.
- The "Matatu" Reversed Room: A fun nod to local culture, this room features furniture upside down, referencing Nairobi's vibrant minibus culture.
- Local Art Installations: Look for the "Following Eyes" installation by Lulu Kitololo and Brian Omolo's mural depicting the Nairobi skyline.
Proceed to Kibera. Your tour here focuses on community empowerment, resilience, and the rich culture that emerges from areas like Kibera (one of Africa's largest informal settlements). It is always paired with a visit to a slum children's home or daycare to give you a complete Nairobi experience.
Step beyond the typical tourist trail and into the heart of Nairobi's vibrant spirit. This tour combines two of the city's most authentic experiences: a guided walk through a bustling informal settlement (slum) and a thrilling visit to a nursery school or daycare.
This tour focuses on cultural treasure hunt. You will discover the incredible entrepreneurship, art, and community spirit that thrive in areas like Kibera. Led by local guides who are residents of the community, you will visit social enterprises, hidden galleries, and local homes. The experience concludes with a high-energy ride back to the city center, allowing you to experience Nairobi's most famous mode of transport.
