  I love going to Kariokor. How lucky it is to have brass, beads & kind people offering culture 🦋. Always a pleasure to appreciate culture. 🦋

  Kariokor Market. A word I've heard zero times in my life. Lol. However, today, I had the golden opportunity of visiting this amazing place that's full of art. They have raw beads that you can buy at affordable, local rates. Just like any business, they will profile you. This is to mean, you will pay based on how you look. The prices aren't too crazy though. I got there via Uber since I'd never been and I didn't know where it was. It's a safe market that's quiet and well organized. No one is in your face trying to sell you items. No one grabs you claiming to have the best prices in the market. You are welcomed warmly by the vendors. Most of the vendors are women and this is just amazing. I believe the Government can do better in supporting this amazing place. It could do with some renovations, including the drainage system. As I walked around, the prices went lower. Go early, walk around and you're sure to find some amazing gems. I got some amazing, affordable sisal mats. I plan to visit this marketplace again. I went there for less than half an hour today. I loved my experience. The main road is a bit chaotic though so, watch yourself as you're crossing the road. Shout out to the amazing vendors in there. Shout out to all the amazing women who are working hard to earn a living there.

  It has beautiful baskets and sandals, jewelleries made from brass, shells beads and even bones. For local and made in Kenya enthusiasts this is your market Especially if you want to shop on the days that there is no Maasai market. The location is well situated

  Best prices for traditional sandals, necklaces, Calabashes, wooden carvings and Kenya branded t-shirts. A lot of other local curials are available here. Good place to get souvenirs. It does get busy so best to go before the afternoon.

  An incredible market. Such a hugh variety of African art and crafts. Mostly maasi beads and beautiful leather goods. The prices are for locals and you won't find many tourists here. The market is quite safe and one does not feel pressured to buy anything.
