Questions before you visit

The walk is guided by someone who lives and works in Kibera. Susan knows the routes, the people, and the rhythm of the neighbourhood. This is not an improvised slum tour — it is a structured visit built around relationships, and the merchants and community members you meet have agreed to be part of it.

Around three hours at a comfortable pace with regular stops. The terrain is uneven in places — ordinary streets and pathways, not manicured footpaths. Flat shoes with grip are better than sandals. You will not be rushed.

Photography is welcome in most settings, but Susan will guide you on when to ask permission and when to put the camera away. The merchants and community members you visit are people at work, not subjects. That distinction shapes how the walk is run.

No. Many guests arrive knowing nothing about Bitcoin and leave with a clearer picture than most online explanations provide. Susan introduces it through real purchases and real conversations, not through slides or jargon. You can also pay for the tour itself by card or mobile money if you prefer.

Yes — Lightning is the preferred payment method and works via any standard Lightning wallet. Card payments via Stripe and mobile money via Paystack are also available once your booking is confirmed on WhatsApp.

Because booking a date and getting a payment link sent to you is a two-step process. The WhatsApp step is where Susan confirms the date works, answers any questions, and makes sure the walk is properly arranged. Payment only happens after that conversation. It also means you are not paying into a void — you know exactly who you are meeting and when.

The tour starts at Adams Greenhouse in Kibera. It is a known reference point and easy to reach by taxi or ride-hailing app from most parts of Nairobi. Susan will confirm the exact logistics during the WhatsApp booking conversation.

Comfortable shoes with grip, a charged phone, water, and a small bag. Cash in shillings is useful for context but not required for purchases during the walk. If you want to make Lightning payments at the merchant stops, just have a wallet installed — Susan can help set one up at the start if needed.

Yes — WhatsApp is the best way to do that. Susan reads and responds to messages directly. If you want to know more about the route, the group size, or what to expect, send a message before you submit the booking form.
