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.

Itinerary

  • N/A

    Start of at Kobe Tough Beads and Leather. This is a pottery company that makes one of the world most beautiful beads. You will be shown firsthand all the stages from the start to the finish. It’s also a unique factory as it employs single mother parents from the poor neighborhood who earn a living to support their families. It's a women empowerment center for the community. The center was started by women who formerly worked for Kazuri beads factory when it shut down during the pandemic. This was reprieve for them as they could continue to provide for their families.

  • Utamaduni Craft Centre

    After exciting beads factory tour, we will continue to utamaduni crafts center. The best African craft shop in Nairobi, Utamaduni is a must to drop into on the way to some of the exciting venues in Nairobi's green suburb of Karen/Langata, known for the famous writer, Karen Blixen's original farm with beautiful views of the Ngong hills. Incorporate a visit to this unique house of crafts on the day of your visit Nairobi. The shop, a converted Kikuyu house with 18 shops, is a treasure trove of African crafts, antiques and art, with friendly staff to assist and help pack or ship if needed.

Awesome shopping trip

Published on Dec, 2024

Kelvin was amazing. He knew the best places to recommend and all were exactly what we were looking for. The prices were very reasonable and not superficially increased for tourists. Kelvin was extremely patient and very polite the entire time. Would recommend him any time!

Excellent Nairobi experience.

Published on Oct, 2024

Kelvin is a wonderful tour guide and driver. He’s so knowledgeable about the country, culture, safari, and the ecology of the land. He took us for a day trip through the city. You will not be sorry going with Rustic Nature Tours. Very worth the cost.

Incredible cultural shopping experience at your pace with 5-star hospitality!

Published on Aug, 2024

My friends and I had an incredible experience with Kelvin, our wonderful tour guide! From punctual pick up and a clean and comfortable transport vehicle to taking us to a variety of cultural shopping destinations (artisan shops, bead making, crystals & more), Kelvin was so accommodating, allowing us to take our time to browse each shop. He went above and beyond, letting us stop for lunch and taking us to a local grocery shop before dropping us home though these pit stops were not part of the itinerary. He made our first day in Nairobi an unforgettable one. If you’re looking for a unique experience with a kind and affable tour guide, I’d stop your research here!

Kelvin - best tour guide!

Kelvin was a great tour guide! This was our first trip to Nairobi, day 1 activity and he showed us around while explaining each stop. My favorite stop was the Kobe Tough Women! Thank you for such an amazing experience!
