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.
