Situated in the northeastern part of Nairobi County, Kiamaiko forms part of the larger Mathare Valley slum area, one of Nairobi's oldest and most populous informal settlements. This neighborhood is geographically positioned along the banks of the Mathare River, with its terrain characterized by steep slopes and limited infrastructure.

The area covers approximately 0.5 square kilometers and supports a population estimated between 50,000 to 80,000 residents living in extremely crowded conditions with limited access to basic services like clean water, sanitation, and formal housing. Despite its informal status, Kiamaiko is organized into several smaller village-like clusters that function as distinct community units within the broader settlement.
