  2. B

    Maasai Market

    Busy, popular Maasai markets are held every Tuesday on the waste ground near Slip Rd in town. Souvenirs on offer include beaded jewellery, gourds, baskets and other Maasai crafts, but you'll have to bargain hard. The market is open from early morning to late afternoon at both venues.

  3. C

    Triangle Curios Market

    Near the Sarit Centre in Westlands, this is a cheaper collection of stalls at a road junction. There are lots of genuine tribal objects such as Turkana wrist knives and wooden headrests.
