Tips for shopping at a Maasai market in Nairobi

• 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.
• If you want to avoid being overwhelmed with attention, wait until the market gets busy
• If you have a choice, avoid the High Court parking lot location on Saturday and stick to the Yaya Centre or Village Market days.
• Avoid “gifts” as you may later discover that if you don’t buy anything else from that seller, that trinket is no longer a gift.
