With big restaurants serving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/nairobi\/a-guide-to-the-top-traditional-kenyan-foods\/\">traditional Kenyan dishes<\/a>, lots of night clubs, embassies, the United Nations, parks, modern roads, traffic jams and people moving up and down for business, you can easily get lost in the city.<\/p>\n<p>But it is this same scenario which somehow shocks visitors coming to Africa say for the first time with the assumption of a laid back, quiet city somewhere in the continent to which I can tell you, Nairobi is anything but.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other cities in the country, Nairobi hosts people from different cultural backgrounds and a lot of foreigners who have made it their home. As such, most people in the more urban parts of the city speak English while the rest will mostly be speaking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/nairobi\/10-phrases-in-swahili-for-your-trip-to-nairobi\/\">Swahili<\/a>. These two are also the national languages of the country.<\/p>\n<p>The youth have additional languages that might be hard to understand for visitors. \u2018Sheng\u2019, a modified form of Swahili and \u2018Slang\u2019, a modified form of the English language are very common among the young people.<br \/>\nBelow is a simple general map of the city.<\/p>\n<p>So what can you do in Nairobi if you are a first time visitor and want to make the most of your time? I have to warn you beforehand, you have to plan your time wisely and factor in lots of traffic jam. Being stuck in traffic alone can take almost half of your day!<\/p>\n<p>So best advice? Look for places that are not too far from each other to visit every day and this way, you might be able to see a lot more in a short time.<\/p>\n<h3>1.

However, they are different from the other tribes because they mostly live near National Parks and have a deep, rich culture that makes them stand out. As such, most of the items sold at the &#8216;Maasai Market&#8217; originate from the Maasai people.<\/p>\n<p>The market is well known for selling jewellery, shoes, clothes, utensils, wall hangings among many other things. The products at the market are also quite affordable and great souvenirs for anyone visiting.<\/p>\n<p>Open days for the market rotate around different estates, malls and roads all over the city and might change on short notice.
