Maasai Market

Great deals if you have the appetite for bargaining! The market shifts so be sure to check before heading out. Walk the entire market and choose your favorites to go back to.

This was the place where I found all of the souvenirs that I was looking to take back home. My only gripe was when two sellers attempted to sell me T-Shirts for the USD equivalent of $60 and the shirts were normally the USD equivalent of $9. If you are a foreigner, PLEASE make sure you go with a local to this place so you do not get fleeced.

The market has beautiful products that I would have loved to look at and maybe bought, but there was no way to look over things in peace as we were constantly harassed by 'brokers'. I would not recommend going there if you are not immune to people constantly bugging you to buy stuff.

Sure, might be a good place to get your souvenirs, if you're mega rich and don't mind getting ripped off. Even before I step my foot into the market I was surrounded by men who'd want me to have a look on what they're selling. They are passive aggressively insistent. I paid too much here for a Kenyan bracelet and I really just wanted to be left alone to browse. They won't allow you the privilege of space even after you telling them look, I just want to be left alone. So what to do? I was out of here by ten minutes. These merchants really should learn how to leave tourists alone instead of pushing, pushing, pushing. Besides, you can get a lot of this stuff cheaper and some supermarkets like Carrefour, funnily enough. No need to bargain there.

Beautiful handmade products. but price high

There is some beautiful arts and craft. Everyone's doing their best to sell an item. However - it's an experience. Middleman exist that claim to make deals on behalf of the sellers - can become an overwhelming and tiring experience of back and forth bargaining. Go with others, the hassle is less.

The Maasai Market in Nairobi, Kenya, is a vibrant and culturally rich experience that offers visitors a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the traditions and craftsmanship of the Maasai people. Having visited the market myself, I can attest to its authenticity and the memorable experiences it provides. One of the standout features of the Maasai Market is the wide variety of traditional Maasai crafts available for purchase. From intricately beaded jewelry and accessories to colorful clothing and footwear, the market is a treasure trove of handmade items that showcase the exquisite artistry of the Maasai community. The craftsmanship is impressive, and each piece tells a story of Maasai heritage and culture. What sets the Maasai Market apart from other markets is the opportunity to engage with the artisans themselves. Visitors can interact with the Maasai sellers, learn about their craft, and even watch them create their works of art. This personal connection adds a depth of meaning to the items purchased, as you gain insight into the cultural significance of each piece. The vibrant and lively atmosphere of the market is another highlight. Traditional Maasai music and dance performances add to the ambiance, creating a lively and festive environment. It's not just a shopping destination; it's an immersive cultural experience. However, like any bustling market, haggling is expected. Bargaining is part of the fun and allows you to get the best deals on your purchases. Additionally, it's important to exercise caution and be aware of your belongings, as crowded markets can be prime spots for pickpocketing.
