Masai Market Nairobi Day Tour is usually a half-day Nairobi excursion to one of the colorful Masai markets. The Masai market sells mainly tourist fare, including wooden sculptures, beaded necklaces, batik wall hangings, shoes, soapstone carvings, sisal bags, kikois, textiles, and a whole host of other exciting goods.

The market takes its name from the Maasai tribe, one of Kenya’s tribes that has retained its culture, traditions, identity, and pride. The venue for the Maasai Market rotates among different shopping centers on different days. The traders set up their wares in the car park of the respective location and operate from 9.00 am to 6:00 pm.

During a tour of one of these open-air markets, travelers can find curios, paintings, drawings, clothing, and fabrics with East African prints, jewelry, and wood carvings, many handmade in Kenya by local artisans. You can buy all your souvenirs and gifts in one go, but get ready for some serious bargaining.

Enjoy the haggling and expect to come away with some great deals (keep in mind that it is their livelihood; if they really stick to “no,” you probably have gone below a price where they can make any money from an item).
