NB:

1. Price on items is never fixed. Just like other markets, here you must learn the art of negotiation- your mouth’s ability carries the day.
2. It is advisable to do your purchase using local currency.
3. The Maasai market, like the Maasai people is nomadic- it moves. So the venues are likely to keep on changing.
