Maasai Market is a must go
Buy yourself and loves ones Kenyan souvenirs made by local artisans. Maasai market is on Friday at Village market rooftop and daily at Lavington green
So kannst du sparen
Always negotiate when buying stuff..it's ok to negotiate.
Especially when visiting Maasai market, always negotiate. If you don't want to pay for a guided tour,
it's cheaper to visit Giraffe centre, Sheldrick wildlife trust or the orphanage by Uber..However to visit the National park, you may need a guided tour.
