How it works:
- The Maasai Market is flooded with aggressive thugs posing as sellers or working as middlemen. Once you reach, they will latch on to you.
- They will charge you exorbitant prices so as to earn a margin by buying and reselling to you.
Places reported:
- Nairobi: Maasai Market
What to do:
- Deal directly with the seller.
- Else, bargain hard or check out other markets (e.g. Central Market, Triangle Curio Market) instead.
