🇰🇪 Nairobi's Maasai Market: A Shopper's Paradise!

The Maasai Market is a treasure trove of vibrant African crafts—small but packed with handmade jewelry, carved sculptures, colorful fabrics, and more! Bargain hard (it’s half the fun 😉), and leave with unique souvenirs at unbeatable prices. 🛍️ What to Buy? ✔ Beaded jewelry (earrings, necklaces, bracelets) 💎 ✔ Soapstone carvings (elephants, lions, tribal masks) 🦁 ✔ Maasai shukas (traditional blankets) 🧣 ✔ Wooden kitchenware (bowls, spoons) 🥄 ✔ Hand-painted art (perfect for wall decor) 🎨 💰 Bargain Like a Pro 🔹 Start at 1/5 of the asking price (e.g., 3,000 KSH → 600 KSH). 🔹 Walk away if needed—vendors often call you back with a better deal! 🔹 Cash works best (some accept M-Pesa, but cash gets bigger discounts). 📍 Market Locations (Changes Daily!) 📅 Tuesday: Westgate Mall (upper parking) 📅 Wednesday: Capital Centre (Mombasa Rd) 📅 Thursday: Junction Mall (Ngong Rd) 📅 Friday: Village Market (Gigiri) 📅 Saturday: High Court parking (City Center) 📅 Sunday: Yaya Centre (Hurlingham) 🚫 Monday: CLOSED ✈️ Light & Packable Picks Beaded earrings (great for gifts!)
