    Well the place was good, apart frim one seller who seemed not soo genuine, however everything else was great

    I expected more, unfortunately a typical tourist trap: at every stand there are roughly the same goods, and it is also much smaller than expected. However, the traders are much more unobtrusive than at other markets, hence my 3 stars.

    Feb 2025: some quality items on sale. A lot of vendors and artists. I like to support the individuals that are the actual artists. But looks like there is something for everyone

    Best souvenir prices in Kenya. Yes, they can be a bit over eager but they get very few tourists. If you are friendly and tell them to go slowly you can find some nice things for cheap.

    A wide variety of shops that sell all kinds of artifacts. You have to bargain for a fair price. Don't recommend coming here in a big tourist group because you will be harassed.
