Maasai Market

About

A recurring open-air crafts bazaar selling handmade jewellery, textiles, beadwork, carvings, paintings and souvenirs; its venue varies by day.

Maasai Market brings together artisans, traders, and wholesale buyers in the heart of Nairobi, Kenya. This recurring open-air crafts bazaar moves between venues across the city on different days. That means vendors and visitors always find fresh stock and new faces. Shoppers come for handmade jewellery, colourful textiles, intricate beadwork, carved wood, and original paintings. Wholesale buyers, meanwhile, source souvenirs and giftware in bulk directly from makers. Because the market rotates, each visit feels different, and regulars learn to track which location suits their needs. For anyone sourcing African crafts in Nairobi, the Maasai Market offers direct access to authentic Kenyan artistry, competitive prices, and the chance to build lasting relationships with local artisans and wholesale suppliers.
