This, the largest open-air market in Kenya, is situated near the Machakos Bus Station. It was established in the 1960s by the colonial government as a market for Africans. It specialises in mitumba, or second hand clothes, but also sells fresh fruit, vegetables, meat as well as local baskets and household items. The market is open throughout the week but is especially lively on Saturday. Be warned—haggling is expected and greatly enjoyed by the local people.
