Where it is

By Taxi / Ride-Hail (Uber, Bolt, Little)
This is the most convenient and direct option: Distance: ~24–25 km from Nairobi CBD to Kibera. Time: ~30–60 min (depending on traffic conditions in Nairobi). Cost Estimate: ~KSh 800 – 1,200 one-way for standard ride-hail taxis. Just enter “Christ The King Catholic Church, Kibera” in your app and follow the directions.
By Matatu (Public Minibus)
This is the cheapest way but involves some walking and transfers: Walk to Railways Bus Station (near Moi Avenue / Kencom). Take a matatu heading toward Ngong Road / Kibera — commonly Route 8 that goes via Kibera/Karanja/Toi Market direction. Tell the conductor you’re going to Christ The King in Kibera or get off at a known stop like Karanja stage or Olympic Primary School stage, then walk to the church area behind Kenyatta Market. Walk about 5–10 min from the matatu drop-off to the church itself. 💡 Matatus are very frequent in and out of Nairobi CBD, but routes can change — always ask the conductor to confirm they go near “Christ The King” or “Hinga Drive”.
Walking + Bus Combination
If you’re comfortable walking and orienting yourself: You can walk from the matatu stop to nearby landmarks and ask locally for directions to the church — people in the area are generally familiar with community institutions like Christ The King.
