There are Maasai Markets all over Nairobi on different days of the week. I personally work at 4 different days of the week (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) but know of others on days I am not working. Message me you are interested in shopping and I can tell you where to go what day and even possibly assist you.
