Maasai Market, Nairobi-Kenya
The Maasai tribe is one of the most predominant tribes of Africa. In Kenya, it is one of the few remaining tribes that have stuck to their culture throughout the years. This has elevated them to iconic levels with people around the world wanting to learn from/about and interact with them whenever they visit the country.
In Nairobi, one of the best places to experience the Maasai culture, as well as purchase some of their more exotic artefacts and products is the Maasai market. The reason this market ranks among the biggest on the continent is that it is a mobile market that is held in different parts of the city on different days:
