The Maasai market is a tourists' paradise, but locals also shop for all sorts of made-in-Kenya arts, crafts and curios.
Patchwork quilts, imported sarongs and the more popular Kenya-made kikoi wraps all vie for position and customers.One of the best places to get beads if you are not off the beaten track is the Maasai Market or 'Tuesday Market' in the capital city of Nairobi. There are over fifty Maasai women who sell traditional wares including beadwork and baskets. It is best to ask a local where the market is as it moves around.
