Overview

This is a carefully crafted experience that provides both character and quality. Between unfair exploitation in un-regulated open markets and the prevalence of low-quality goods, souvenir shopping in Kenya can be a minefield. Navigate it with ease on this door-to-door private tour, with your driver/guide on hand to translate, carry heavy items, and advise if required. A typical tour includes stops at four high-caliber stores: Kobe Beads Factory, Utamaduni Crafts Centre, Golden eagle art gallery and Aqeeq Galleria. Our tour is specially crafted to afford you the opportunity at your pleasure the chance to acquire a precious stone, with our visit to the gemstone store. The gemstones range from Tanzanite garnet, Amethyst, Rubies, Red Garnets, and Aquamarine which yes, are all mined in Kenya & East Africa. Souvenirs are a memorable way to remember your travel experience as these objects hold a sentimental value to yourself, friends & loved ones.
