Slow Travel Diaries | PLOG 🇰🇪 Nairobi Souvenir Shopping Guide

📍 Village Market, Nairobi – Often called "Nairobi's Sanlitun" 🏬 Home to many authentic African brands—look for the "Proudly Made in Africa" label! 🛍️ What We Bought: P2️⃣ Knitted Dolls (Kenana Knitters) 100% handmade by Kenyan women—no two dolls are alike! Think of them as Africa’s answer to Jellycat—quirky, abstract, and utterly charming. Prices: Small (~1,000 KES), Large (~2,000 KES) — cheaper than airport shops! P3️⃣ Java House Coffee & Cookies 🍪 (Carrefour Supermarket) Stock up on Kenyan coffee & biscuits (we loved them so much, we finished our "gift stash" early!). Pro tip: Discounts here make it slightly cheaper than the airport. P4️⃣ Natural Lamu (Local Skincare & Fragrance Brand) Similar to The Body Shop—offers solid perfumes, bath bombs, soaps, skincare, and mosquito repellent. Prices: ~1,000 KES per item. P5️⃣ Fresh Milk & Juice (Ground Floor Supermarket) Kenya’s only organic dairy farm—their milk has a thick, creamy layer on top! (450ml ≈ 200 KES). Don’t miss the freshly squeezed juices too! Bonus: Check out Sandstorm & Ikwetta (2nd floor) for handcrafted leather goods. ✨ Why Visit? ✅ Strict security (safe and relaxed vibe). ✅ Great food & cafes (plus a chocolate shop!). ✅ Lush greenery + a gym/entertainment area . #AfricaTravel #KenyaSafari #AfricanSouvenirs #SlowTravel #KenyaGuide#Nairobi
