    A good place to buy artifacts made by people of Masai tribe

    Had a good time here with my partner. Spent a while browsing the different stores and picking up some handicrafts. Did a lot of haggling but generally initial prices seemed ok, not too wild. Depends where you go.

    Went there around 12pm and it was quiet which I really enjoyed but this one was not as big as the ones on Saturday and Sunday.

  • Kai W.Google review · 15 Dec 2018

    Would be much better if the starting prices were not so outrageous that it feels like a scam

  • Karnjana K.Google review · 5 Dec 2018

    Local products with negotiated prices. Bargain heavily, at least 70%.
