Nairobi shopping tour to Utamaduni craft centre and Kazuri bead factory

The Utamaduni factory is located close to the Karen Blixen Museum, Giraffe Centre, Daphne Sheldrick Animal Orphanage, the Nairobi National Park, and Kazuri Beads. The factory's name represents a deep meaning for Kenyans, meaning culture, tradition, folklore, encompassing the best of African crafts and is dedicated to supporting craftsmen from all over Kenya. It supports various charities including the KSPCA and Street boys (who actually have their own shop in the center). There is also a small restaurant where one can stop for a quick bite. You will also get the chance to visit the busy Kazuri bead factory, a producer of top quality handmade and hand-painted ceramic jewelry and pottery. The workshop has been set up to empower women in need by employing them and teaching them a skill.
