Description

Begin your day with a convenient hotel pickup from central Nairobi areas such as CBD, Westlands, or Kilimani. Meet your friendly local guide — a true Nairobian who knows every hidden corner and flavor of the city. From there, take a short drive to Kariakor Market, one of Nairobi’s most authentic and bustling artisan markets. Upon arrival, step into a world filled with color, texture, and rhythm. Kariakor Market is home to some of Kenya’s most skilled beadworkers, woodcarvers, and traditional crafters, who produce intricate Maasai jewelry, handmade leather goods, wooden carvings, and beautiful art pieces. Watch artisans at work, learn about their techniques, and even try your hand at crafting a small piece yourself. As you explore, your guide will share stories about Kenya’s cultural diversity, how crafts are passed down through generations, and how these artisans keep traditions alive in the fast-changing city of Nairobi. This is the perfect place for authentic souvenirs that directly support local communities. Next, stroll through Nairobi’s lively streets toward a local Kibandaski eatery — a simple but vibrant food spot where Kenyans gather daily for hearty, affordable meals. Enjoy a guided food-tasting session featuring classic Kenyan dishes such as: - Nyama Choma (grilled meat), Kenya’s national favorite - Chapati and ugali, essential comfort foods - Sukuma wiki (local greens) - Mandazi or mahamri, sweet fried bread snacks - And of course, a steaming cup of chai ya maziwa (spiced Kenyan tea) This is not fine dining — it’s real dining, where flavor meets community. Your guide will explain the stories behind each dish, how it’s prepared, and what role it plays in Kenyan culture. During your lunch, mingle with locals, chat with food vendors, and soak in the warm, laid-back vibe of Nairobi’s food culture. If you’re a foodie, photographer, or cultural traveler, this part of the experience is simply unforgettable. After lunch, enjoy a relaxed tea session and perhaps try the local “Kahawa chungu” (strong black coffee) before heading back to your hotel.
