Between fake souvenirs and the national bargaining culture, shopping in Nairobi can be a minefield. Find the best quality arts, crafts, jewelry, clothing, and homewares at sensible prices on this small-group guided door-to-door shopping tour. Visit the African Heritage House, Utamaduni Craft Centre, Kazuri Beads Factory, Marula Studios, the City Market, and, if it’s open, the Maasai Market, and leave with souvenirs that will last a lifetime.
Shopping Tour begins with a visit to the African Heritage Gallery, located at the Carnivore grounds. Inside, the African Trader Gallery celebrates the textiles, sculpture, and unique handicraft from Africa.
Our next shopping stop is at Utamaduni Craft Centre, selling a huge variety of African Curios all under one roof. Products include African Curios, African Masks, African rugs, African furniture, Ebony Furniture, African Antiques, African Jewelry, African Dolls, Safari Clothes, Kikoy, Sarong, beads and much more!
The Next stop will be Kazuri Beads Factory (Mbagathi Ridge, Karen):- Kazuri Bead Factory is located on Mbagathi Ridge, Karen – a stones-throw away from Karen Blixen Museum in Karen. Kazuri meaning ‘small and beautiful’ in Swahili, makes exquisite handmade ceramic beads, jewellery and pottery.
The next stop will be Nairobi City Market (Muindi Mbingu Street): Bargaining is a sport at the stalls scattered throughout the City Market. This sprawling complex, which was originally an aircraft hangar, offers curios and other souvenirs as well as food vendors.
If happens to be on the market day enter Masai Markets ; Masai Markets in Nairobi was started by Masai women who wanted to sell directly to visitors. Masai Markets have blossomed over the years. For a wonderful selection of arts and crafts, wooden carvings and beadwork, you can't go wrong at the Nairobi Masai Markets. Then drop you back to your hotel

Peter was an excellent guide and took me to two nice souvenir shops, a bead factory and another shop I requested. He waited patiently while I shopped and didn’t rush me. He also has bottles of water for me.
