Everything from jewelry, musical instruments, home appliances, decorative pieces as well as fabric is to be found here.
The house itself combines several models of huts from all over Africa. A restaurant within the house offers breakfast, lunch and dinner and is delightfully prepared and presented. The fact that you can enjoy your meals as you enjoy the views of Nairobi National Park from the facility adds that extra magic to the whole experience.
