CULTURAL EXPERIENCE TOUR (WITH SHOPPING)

 

African Heritage is located at the Carnivore Restaurant, Nairobi and is a shopping that echoes the mud architecture of Africa - the towering mosques of Timbuktu, the Emir's palaces of Northern Nigeria, the ornate mud palaces of Southern Morocco, and of course the architecture of the East African Coast, including Lamu, Mombasa and Zanzibar.

Inside, the African Trader Gallery celebrates the sumptuous textiles, sculpture, and unique handicraft from Africa. The African Bead is over 30 illuminated showcases, and takes visitors on a tour of human history in Africa from 10000 B.C., through its beads, the chief item of trade to Africa from the Middle East, Asia and Europe for over two millennia.

Our next stop is the Utamaduni Arts and Crafts; located in the peaceful Nairobi suburb of Langata (with postcard views of the famous Ngong hills) Utamaduni is housed in a former homestead with an acre of lush gardens. There are over 30 stalls selling good quality art and craft, jewelry, paintings etc.
