Free walking tours in Nairobi with local guides

Discover Nairobi on foot with the city's best-loved walking tours, powered by GuruWalk. Led by knowledgeable local guides, these free walking tours take you through the heart of Nairobi — from the historic Parliament Buildings, KICC and Jamia Mosque to the bustling City Market and Maasai Market. Free tours run on a pay-what-you-want model, so you decide what the experience was worth at the end. With hundreds of five-star reviews, these are among the highest-rated experiences in the city.

Beyond the city centre, you can join immersive community tours of Kibera, one of East Africa's largest urban settlements, or escape into nature with a guided walk through Karura Forest, home to waterfalls, Mau Mau caves and a canopy walk. For the outdoors enthusiast, we also feature hiking and cycling trails near Nairobi via komoot — from the Ngong Hills and Karura Forest loops to Hell Gate and Mount Kenya.
