One of the thriving sectors of the tourism industry in Kenya is also one that no government would want to put on brochures inviting visitors to the country. For a small fee, companies operated by entrepreneurs like young rapper Henry Ohanga (Octopizzo to his fans) offer guided walks through Kibera, a sprawling slum in the heart of the capital.
Tourists get to see up close the mountains of garbage and dense rows of low-slung wattle-and-mud houses that have made that township one of the most notorious urban settlements on the continent.
