Kajiado Central Market
訪問に最適な時期
Visit early in the morning, around 7:00 to 9:00 AM, when the Maasai women display their fresh stock and the temperature is still pleasant. Avoid the afternoon hours, when the heat is intense and the selection of fresh produce is already depleted.
予算のヒント
The market has no entrance fee, you only pay for what you buy. Bring cash in small denominations, bargain politely, and don't forget that the best prices apply to those who buy multiple items at once.
おすすめ対象

概要
クイックファクト: 約300軒の露店がここで毎日、新鮮な野菜、肉、ビーズ細工、伝統的な布を販売しています。週に一度の大きな家畜市場は土曜日だけ開かれ、地域中の牧畜民が家畜の幼獣やヤギを交換に訪れます。
見どころ: 土曜の朝、露店の間で活気ある交換の輪が現れ、牧畜民は手を叩くのを契約の証として家畜を交換します。これはこの地域のどこにもない何世紀も続く伝統です。互いの手を叩く音は取引が成立した瞬間を告げ、ヤギの鳴き声や数十人の交渉人のざわめきの上に響き渡ります。
インサイダーヒント
- Wear sturdy, closed shoes to protect against the loose sand and the foot traffic between the stalls.
- Photograph the colorful clothing and beaded jewelry early in the morning, when the light is soft and the stalls are at their fullest.
- Only eat a warm snack at the street stalls around 10:00 AM, by then the morning rush is over and the food is freshly prepared.
- Skip the western cattle market if you only come for fresh produce, it mainly revolves around trade between local herders.
