Best Shopping Malls to Unveil in Nairobi

Nairobi offers you the best shopping centers for you to make your purchase in the new town easier and fascinating. Nairobi has over the past few years been named as one of the top five cities in Sub-Saharan Africa with the largest shopping malls. It has actually been ranked the largest retail market in East Africa. The developers of Nairobi’s modern malls are building new city hubs where people can live, work, shop and play, all under the same site. They are keen to erect these malls in locations that are nearer to key transport links, to make them easily accessible.

Two Rivers Mall

Two Rivers Mall is the new shopping destination in town. The mall is located along Limuru Road just a few minutes’ drive from the Village Market. Two Rivers is the largest Mall in East Africa and it just opened its doors in February 2017. The mall sits on a 100-acre piece of land and features more than 150 stores, both local and international.  The mall is quite a sensation and residents of Nairobi and its environs have been flocking to the Mall complex for a new experience.

Village Market

Village Market is one of the most iconic shopping malls in Nairobi designed with an African feel. It is located in the Gigiri Area, just before you get to the Runda Estate on Limuru Road. There are over 150 shopping stores in the complex with a variety of products and you can get just about anything in the mall which is always buzzing with life. The shopping complex also houses the famous Tribe Hotel within the compound. Plans to expand the mall are currently underway and a new three-star hotel will be in the picture in the next few months. The tribe hotel has 142 rooms while the new hotel will have 215 rooms and conference facilities.

Yaya Centre

Yaya Centre is one of the oldest shopping complexes in Nairobi, having been put up in the early 1980s. It is located just 5 km from the CBD-Central Business District and has over the years become one of the leading shopping malls in Nairobi, running in the same league as The Sarit Centre, another shopping mall in Nairobi. It is the preferred shopping complex for residents of the Kilimani and Hurlingham areas of Nairobi.
