Overview
A Colorful Market Adventure
Tour Time: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Meeting Point: Outside Nairobi National Archives (downtown Nairobi)
We begin our journey at 9:00 AM sharp at the Nairobi National Archives, where you’ll meet your local guide for a short, friendly briefing. From here, we set off on foot to explore the city's most vibrant and culturally rich open-air markets.
Our first stop is the famous Masai Market, a lively showcase of traditional Maasai and Kenyan artistry. Here, you’ll find handmade beadwork, jewelry, sandals, fabrics, carvings, and colorful paintings. It’s a perfect place to interact with artisans and learn about the meaning behind each piece. Your guide will assist with negotiating fair prices and ensure a fun, respectful shopping experience.
Next, we make our way to the Kariakor Market, one of Nairobi’s hidden treasures known for authentic crafts, especially high-quality beaded sandals, belts, and bags made by local women. This is where real Kenyan creativity thrives off the beaten tourist path.
Finally, we stroll to the historic City Market, a bustling indoor market offering a mix of fresh flowers, local art, spices, souvenirs, and more.
