Lonely Planet review for Caplaki

The old street market of crafts along Ave de l'Armée next to the Milles Collines has been moved to a new home funded by the French called Caplaki. Sellers are now organised in fixed stalls and popular items include a range of carvings and masks from across the border in DR Congo. Prices start high, as they are, of course, 'antiques' but as most are modern replicas, bargain down to something sensible.

    Tourist trap

    j_mccard does not recommend this,

    Beware of shopping here unless you are a skilled negotiator. There are many shops, but they all seem to have the same goods. I've shopped at many craft markets in Rwanda, and the beginning prices here are outrageous. I would not recommend shopping here unless you are with a local person who is familiar with what local goods should cost.
