I visited a Massai Market in Nairobi. Massai men and women come in from their villages and set up their handmade items for sale in a commercial area of the city. I was told to get ready to haggle, not to act too American {because you’ll pay highest prices}, and to be ready to walk away from an item if it’s not the right price. I was quite proud of myself for playing tough with the Kenyans. Walked away with several pieces of bone jewelry, traditional Massai necklaces, handwoven fabrics and some little African dolls. Nice.
{This is, in fact, a real tribe of Massai from the group’s safari in the Masai Mara}
