Inside Africa's Biggest Slum (Kibera) - Nairobi, Kenya

Inside Africa's Biggest Slum (Kibera) - Nairobi, Kenya

By Drew Binsky | DrewBinsky Travel | 20 Dec 2020


Nairobi (Kenya) is a very complex, diverse city. The rich are REALLY rich, and the poor are REALLY poor.

Today I took a trip to a district in Nairobi called Kibera, which is considered to be the biggest urban slum in Africa. More than 1 million people live within 2 square kilometers.

I don't know how many videos it will take me to spread this message, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that people in impoverished areas are significantly happier than the wealthy. And overall, I've found Kenyan people to be the most heart warming, welcoming and friendly people in Africa (along with Malawians!) Have I mentioned that I love Nairobi?!
