I am going to Kenya. what is a good souvenir I should buy?

Thanks

There are plenty of souvenirs to choose from but the most difficult part will be the bargaining. If you speak Swahili, it will be much easier to bargain. Either way, take their price and reply with 15-20% of their initial offer and work from there.

There are all sorts of souvenirs to buy, you'll go crazy. Personally, I liked the stone carvings I found. But there are a lot of wood carvings (a lot of ebony) which is pretty cool. Don't worry, you'll find something to tickle your fancy.

im crazy about giraffes id buy a giraffe carving and id try get as tall as possible so it can have some presence in a corner of my house i like giraffes

The best souvenir will actually be in ua mind. You will remember your visit for a long time to come. Kenyans are warm and kind.. and always ready to help. When you go there, talk to people..Kenyans like people who are relaxed.

The stone carvings are always the best for many people. then we have beaded items and traditional paintings. Then we have the T-shirtst and the safari suits with the popular word.."Kenya hakuna matata" (in Kenya their is no trouble..or worry). You can also buy some coffee or tea (not really souvenirs but good items) The Kenyan coffee is Arabica.. so it has a better taste than all the rest... and the tea too. The 100% Kenyan Tea or coffee will taste like nothing else you have ever tasted.

There are also wood carvings, professionally done and very beautiful. They come in small to very large sizes.

Best of luck

There are a lot of souvenirs in Kenya from stones carvings, wood carvings to weaved baskets. Why not try a wooden giraffe carving or any of the big five. You can even have a custom made basket with your initials and details made for you. I can send you photos of sample souvenirs if you are interested. Get me at xkcox@yahoo.com

think you've been answered.enjoy your stay.KARIBU. as our president says UJIENJOY[enjoy yourself].
