Nairobi Crafts & Markets Overview

Travel to Kenya and start explorations of vibrant Nairobi with a visit to markets in the city and Westlands area. Mingle with residents shopping for fresh produce and search out a bargain or two at the numerous craft and souvenir shops. Also, visit the open-air mobile markets scattered throughout the city.

After breakfast, it's time to gain an insight into Kenyan culture and view some of the country's best craft markets. Visit Kazuri Beads, a workshop providing employment to single mothers. Depending on the day of the week, there may be an opportunity to tour the factory. From there, take a short drive to Utamaduni Craft Centre, which houses shops filled with African crafts, antiques, wood carvings, jewellery, bronze items, glassware and cloth. Return to the city centre in the afternoon where this short break through Nairobi's crafts and markets comes to an end.
