Matatu
From the city center (e.g., Kencom Bus Station), take a matatu heading towards Kibera. Look for matatus labeled 'Kibera' or 'Lang'ata'. The fare is approximately 50 KES. Inform the conductor that you are going to KEMRI Estate. The matatu will drop you along Jogoo Road, near the Kibera area.
Walking
Once you alight from the matatu along Jogoo Road, head south towards the Kibera area. Walk along the main road and keep an eye out for signs directing you to KEMRI Estate. It is located at MRP4+FGQ, which is a short 10-15 minute walk from the drop-off point.
Boda Boda (Motorcycle Taxi)
Alternatively, you can hire a boda boda from the same drop-off point at Jogoo Road. Tell the rider to take you to KEMRI Estate. The fare should be around 100-200 KES depending on the distance and your negotiation skills. This option is faster and more direct but ensure to wear a helmet and follow safety guidelines.
Use KEMRI Estate as your starting point for nearby food, family ideas, nightlife, and more local discoveries.
