The Vibrant Village Market: A Shopper's Paradise in Nairobi

Getting There

• Walking

  If you find yourself near the United Nations Office at Gigiri, head southeast on UN Avenue. Continue straight for about 10 minutes until you reach the roundabout. At the roundabout, take the second exit onto Limuru Road. After about 5 minutes of walking, you will notice a large sign for Village Market on your left. The entrance is just a short walk from the street.

• Bicycle

  For those who prefer cycling, you can rent a bicycle from one of the local rental shops in Gigiri. Start by heading south on UN Avenue, then turn left onto Limuru Road. Follow Limuru Road for about 1.5 kilometers until you see the entrance to Village Market on your left. The ride should take approximately 10-15 minutes. Make sure to wear a helmet and follow traffic rules.

• Public Bus

  To use public transport, head to the nearest bus stop on UN Avenue and look for buses heading towards Westlands. Board a bus that has 'Westlands' indicated on the front. After a short ride of about 10-15 minutes, alight at the Westlands bus station. From there, you can either walk (approximately 20 minutes) or take a motorbike taxi (boda boda) for a small fee (around 100-150 KES) to Village Market.

• Motorbike Taxi (Boda Boda)

  If you prefer a quicker option, you can hire a boda boda from any location in Gigiri. Simply ask your driver to take you to Village Market. The ride will take approximately 5-10 minutes and cost around 100-200 KES. Make sure to negotiate the fare before starting your journey.
