Maasai Market

This is a perfect place to be if you are looking for some souvenirs and nice takeaways from the country of Kenya. Very lively, colourful and ethnic! You would feel like buying the entire market, all the stuff here is so attractive 👌🏽 Totally worth a visit, if you are at Nairobi. But please do check for the day and location as these markets are stalled at different places across the city at various malls on each day of the week. Better to check in advance for your convenience!

I went to buy souvenirs. As a tourist, they give me good price. They have so many beautiful & colorful. Handmade wood crafts, bracelet beads, bangles, Keychain, T-shirt, bags, purse and so many.

The market was intense and honestly overwhelming. The men were really aggressive, insisting on walking with me from seller to seller. This is what they do to tourists. The prices were ridiculously inflated, I even had to explain that I’m not working with euros or pounds and I’m at the end of my holiday. Then when it came time to pay by card, they added an extra 500, claiming it was “for the government.” On top of that, women and children were chasing after me. The whole experience felt uncomfortable and exhausting.

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.

I went on a Friday to this Google location. It was just two lanes! Selection not as large as the curio shop on the way to Mara. But the prices are definitely much much lesser than tose curio shopd.

Very strategic place to buy Ruler things. Masai dynasties.. rituals things at one place

It"s an amazing place to purchase gifts. Make sure you go with a local and I would recommend buy gifts from here to take back to your home country. Because other gift shops charge you 10 times more compared to this place. After finishing your trip go to this market for two hours then you have all your gifts you wanted.
