About

Nairobi's go-to spot for handmade souvenirs — wood carvings, beadwork, paintings, and jewelry at prices you can bargain down to a fraction of the opening ask. Head upstairs for a more relaxed browse, bring cash, and don't be afraid to walk away and circle back.

Way less pushy than the masi market... Head in and goto the upper lever which was more laid back. Pretty decent prices but be prime pared for a high initial price and spend some time looking at things...

I stopped by to shop for souvenirs in Nairobi, if you negotiate a bit, the prices are some of the lowest in Africa. You can find almost anything you’re looking for. Lots of wood carving work, beads,...

Nice and expect fresh sea food as you get lucky over weekdays.

Must visit market with low prices. Be ready to bargain a lot because once they see a foreigner they mark up the price but you can give much lower offer and it’s accepted.
