From vibrant markets, modern malls, and cultural craft hubs that cater to every taste and pocket, Nairobi has something to fulfil any taste! Look forward to unforgettable retail experiences offering handcrafted souvenirs or international brands available for any consumer.

Maasai Market

For those seeking a cultural shopping experience, this is the best place to be! This is an open-air market where visitors will find handcrafted items, colourful beadwork, hand‑woven baskets, wood carvings, and textiles. Give some support to local artists by picking out a souvenir or two from this market.

Two Rivers Mall

Known to be the largest mall in East Africa, this mall draws in visitors with over 200 stores, a mega cinema, and the “Eye of Kenya” Ferris wheel. Outlets include Zara and Carrefour, along with interesting entertainment zones – it’s fun for the whole family at Tow Rivers Mall and just a short drive away from hotels like Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Nairobi.

Ubud Art Market

For something more boutique and artsy, the Ubud Art Market (a rebranded craft collective in Nairobi) offers handmade pieces—think pottery, scarves, paintings—created by local artists. It’s ideal for finding unique, artistic keepsakes outside the typical souvenir scene.

In addition to this, you can also hang out at the gourmet cafes in the mall. Westgate Mall is within easy reach from many serviced apartments in Nairobi, Kenya.
