About

This is where the artisans actually make the stuff — bracelets, woven baskets, wooden plates, sandals — so you can buy at wholesale prices. It's more factory workshop than curated market, but if you want authentic Kenyan merchandise without tourist markup, this is it.

    Apparently this is supposed to be a craft market, it isn’t. There are very few vendors there and they all have the same thing, the prices aren’t horrible but this place is more like the factory for the artisans, they can be seen working on their goods in the stalls. Very disappointing considering the location of this place.

    A county market around Kariorkor area in Nairobi where you can buy small artefacts for home collection or as gifts or souvenir for loved ones.
