I discovered that gikomba aka gikosh is not only a place where one can get second hand clothes and shoes, but a whole lot more including houseware such as crockery and cutlery as well as Christmas decorations.

I truly enjoyed my day shopping.

So full of shoes all types Go get for affordable price

Gikomba Market has a variety of outfits at an affordable price. The guys there are ready to help you get whatever type of outfit you would like. I personally had a good experience while there and I got nice outfits

The market is a conglomeration of various business within one locality. Famously known for second hand clothes but all other items can be found here. It's also known for the fish market with a new block put up recently for fresh fish

Am Francis, I sell second hand Mitumba, find my page Sancos Mitumba business and get more to purchase

Nice place for cheap clothes

It is one of the best places to purchase second hand items, especially clothing and shoes. Most items come at a bargain, but only those with innate haggling skills get the best outcomes. Some of the best items are found at the entrance, but at the highest prices in the market. The price reduce as you significantly move away from the entrance. The place might be a bit muddy in the rainy season, but still accessible - one can also hire gumboots or have their shoes washed after one is done. Overall, the place is for seasoned individuals and would not recommend for 'soft' individuals.

It's a very busy market with a lot of products to choose from. Highly recommend for bulky shopping of clothing and shoes. The market price is affordable

Congested as usual, but this is where prices go amazingly low! Got my flowers of choice and a beautiful kiondo to accentuate the vases❤️🔥

Awesome place filled with affordable clothing, foodstuff, household items etc. The downside is that it's usually packed with heavy foot traffic, noisy, public vans etc. You ought to know what's being sold where or have a dealer as your contact person for better navigation and guidance inside Gikomba. It's a good place for affordable and quality stuff.

For cheap quality products from utensils, clothing, foodstuffs, Cosmetics e.t.c. Beware of pickpocketers and remember to wear boots during rainy season.

A very busy place and yet you'll find the best items around

This place contain almost everything you need at an affordable price. The issue with this place high population and order of selling item some are very cautious while for those hawking you have to be very careful since interaction with many might encourage spread of this scourge for the level of how that are handling this illness is really low

It's a good place for all kind of shopping, from households, clothing, software and hardware. Items are sold at affordable prices.

The place is somehow crowded but its offers at best and affordable prices

The usual, chaotic noisy! Bt cool stuff and very cheap, I mean veeeery cheap. Watch your phone though📱, or don't bring it😆🤣

Good , branded clothes for cheap. Hectic for someone who isn't used to the hustle . Not very clean. Carry some water and find your own way, those giving directions might want pay

It's a Busy Market That Sells Basically Everything, crowded soo Hot But Cheap in prices , thats why it's crowded , however its a normal market But Now Big .

Awesome place to shop for literally anything. Affordable prices, variety of products. Good area to get bales like Mumbai building with the convenience of a bank inside also

It was very crowded. Good thing is you could buy exclusive everything from home and office but also wears. It is few kilometres from Nairobi CBD and it is was worthy the experience.

A variety of businesses from different sectors are gathered together at the market. Known for its used clothing, but you may find anything else here as well. It is also well-known for its fish market, which recently added a new building to accommodate fresh seafood.

Best prices for second-hand clothes, curtains, bedding...the list is endless. If you have an eye for quality, you can spot unique pieces in excellent condition. You just need time. Keep your belongings close since pick pockets are always looking to see if you're distracted, especially when buyers crowd together to allow vehicles to pass.

The famous flea market. From clothes to shoes to food stuff to textiles it has it all at prices you won't get anywhere else that's also if you are good at bargaining. Only downside is if you are unfamiliar with it it's not ideal because you can easily get lost.

Good market place for all your needs, from clothing to metal

The fish market is amazing Quality second hand merchandise heaven

Probably the Best open air market in the country.you can get anything you want here. Would have rated a 5star , but the place is overun by rogue street children, and may not be so safe for a market especially in the wee hours of morning and evenings. I think the government should do something on the bisiness stalls since the stalls are not so nice to look at. All in all, its a pretty good place

Its an exquisite place with excellent variety of goods,groceries,and clothes at an affordable price

Goon allover 😏😏

So chaotic...I mean, what do you expect from a market?💁‍♀️ Needs street smart people who know how to walk briskly all through the market and only stop when you find something of your interest. But good prices for relatively good stuff.

Good

Lanes, streets and avenues are not marked

A place to get good value for money from second hand items

Was fine although the business is not doing well

Very very crowded. No social distancing at all. Most people are wearing masks on their chins or none at all.Stay alert and keep watch of your personal belongings. Would definitely not advise anyone to go there at the moment unless absolutely necessary. Also don't carry fancy stuff, make sure you look as basic as possible, maybe wear a jeans and simple t-shirt and rubber shoes. Most item prices depend on how you look and your bargaining skills. I visited this area on a weekend in mid December, at this time most prices have been hiked due to the Christmas season so I would also recommend for people to visit when there are no holidays around the corner. There's definitely a good variety of all kinds of items depending on what it is you're looking for, food, clothes, household items at cheaper prices compared to what you would have been charged at the shop. Keep in mind that these are second hand items too but you can find really good pieces at incredible prices so you just need to be on the look out and have some patience. Overall quite a tiring experience.

Gikomba is a multipurpose and largely open air market. I doubt if there is anything you will not find in this place, from foodstuffs to building materials and furniture. However, the place is crowded and I don't advise visiting during the rainy season unless you got boots. Still, the only place in Nairobi where everything is extremely affordable.

Open air market.... Second hand clothes. Clothes in bales, Fresh vegetables, etc. Crowded ...so be careful with your luggage.

Home of mitumba at pocket friendly prices

Great experience and value for money goods for sale. Huge variety - if you can't find it in Gikomba Market, you'll probably not find it anywhere else

From second hand clothes, shoes, belts, duvets toys to Fresh fish from lake Victoria available here and in plenty

Great place for clothing and shoes bargain bale. Wide variety to choose from. If you need any bale, get in touch

Good business place but it takes good knowledge of it to easily purchase goods at their fair prices

Everything is changed where I used to buy some of my apparel went there and found alot of buildings being constructed.....

Best place to get second hand clothes and shoes

Open air imported second hand clothes market for budget clothings and shoes.

Worth visiting .you can find anything you have been looking for

Best place for all second hand thrift items if you dont mind the hassle

Nice place to get Ex-UK China and American second hand goods. Fresh Vegetables fish and so forth... practically you can get aosta any stuff you want at a bargain. The catch though, you have to sort of wrestle a multitude while searching for these products. Can be pretty jammed up by human traffic.

Nice shopping at gikomba nice clothes shoes n the price very friendly

Just like most markets, it's the area to grab everything from clothes shoe wear and food items at very cheap prices which is actually very convenient. No parking space.

It's crowded but has a lot of good staff,you should definitely check it out.

You'll find good quality mitumba at good prices though be ready for the bustle and really strong stench at some places

The place is generally for Street smart people. There are many brokers willing to go for the item you're looking for as you wait somewhere. Then they exaggerate the cost

Good place for Second hand clothes and shoes with all styles and sizes for everyone

I loved the service quick and all attendants ensure that you are where you will get served by inquiring the nature of your problem, which saves time. A place to recommend to a friend.

It has everything that someone needs. You can buy absolutely everything from Gikosh

The best place to get second hand goods especially clothing in nairobi

Best place to shop for second hand or thrift items also have a shop and it's in the city friendliest people

If you're business oriented best place to kick start it. Although be careful of your bags lots of pickpockets

It's a nice market for second hand stuff...clothes mostly but kitchen utensils, shoes, even books. There are also hotels and a thriving fish market for cooked, raw and salted fish. The prices are affordable and there's always wiggle room. There is however a heavy foul stench of poorly disposed fish and inside the market there are mud pools so it's advisable to wear boots or gumboots. Overall there isn't much that you wouldn't find here if you don't mind searching.

You can get almost anything you want here from second hand clothes, furniture, food stuffs, shoes and so on

Versatile and nice prices 😅🤣 Just find the right shop and you'll not regret. Just be steady and avoid crafty people. Protect your goods, I think you should be knowing this right now

You need something at a very subsided price? Well, this is the place you've been looking for. As much as things are cheaper here your property safety is on your own hands. You can easily lose your stuffs here and with lose I mean getting stolen. One thing, don't buy from those guys selling along the street, they normally add there own price, just walk to a stall and buy from there. Another trick, don't go here wearing very expensive clothes or watches, you'll definitely get over priced 😂😂😂😂

A large open market from where you can buy anything from second hand clothing as well as new ones to furniture, timber, tools, fish, and everything in between. The downside of the market is that it is congested and some sellers display their items everywhere including on pathways, carriers pushing hand carts also fight for their space. As you shop or window-shop, be careful.

The best times to visit is early morning when it isn't crowded.. By noon its usually full so you better have completed your activities by then

Gikomba Market is also a wholesale market for in-store shopping located in Kamukunji Road, Nairobi City, Kenya. Gikomba is the largest and most famous flea market for thrift shopping in Kenya. The market is congested, with narrow paths, heaps of clothes, and loud vendors marketing their goods.

Everything is available in many varieties. Good not to settle on an item quickly, especially costlier ones. Also beware of 'fakes'.

Vast with variety of market products especially clothings, shoes, beddings from New to Camera Mtumba. Great market area, challenge noted is when it rains expect to be somehow muddy on the feet, but you'd always meet guys happy and willing to wipe you clean of mad at an exchange of some coins.

Has a wide variety of products that one can buy at a reasonable price both at wholesale and retail. Easily navigable and very near to the CBD.

Very crowded but it's the best place for second hand clothes, household items such as curtains, bedsheets, pillow cases..the pineapples are also very tasty. Some vendors might be a bit pricey than expected and the paths could be dusty or muddy, so those are 2 negatives.

Most products available in this market, prices variation available. Vigilance also encourage. Large population and commotion. Accessible roads and paths in place. Best for households and clothing shopping.

Most products are readily available from clothes to shoes to furniture and many more. It's a really busy place but accessibility is poor, the amenities are poor and there is the fear of pickpockets

The place is conjested with people, stalls and motorcycles on the road. A new trader will find it hard to start his business here. It's also not that clean.

It's easy to get lost here when you are new to the city. But everyone is super helpful if you ask for directions especially from store attendants and not random people.

The market is chaotic but you will get different items. There are people at the entrance from the matatu stop who will offer to take you round for a small fee. It was an efficient venture.

When you're unfamiliar with the city, it's simple to get lost here. However, if you ask for directions, especially from business employees rather to just any random person, everyone will be quite helpful.

I am leaving a 4 star because of the environment here yes some places are cool but still severally you find pools of stagnated water with dirty water actually black it's nothing to put a smile on our face.

Very nice for a shoping mall stalls good business

Great shopping at affordable prices for everything one may think of interms if dressing. Visited after a long time and the experience was great.Except one has to take care of personal belongings. I didn't mind the pushing & the noise.

Tens of thousands visit this place to haggle out for assortment of wares ranging from second hand clothes to kitchenware. So far it's the largest open air market in Kenya. Everything is pocket-friendly unlike that dealer near your home. The place is always crowded but lively. However, the place has experienced fire incidents more than seven times so far. The terrible fires have ravaged property worth millions. Nevertheless, Just like a balloon, it always bounces back.

This is the place you get to shop every from baby wear to adult wear. You can get groceries at affordable prices, I mean throw away prices. The hardware here are very many and you can source everything here from timber, paint, steel, aluminum and many other items. I recommend this place.

it is one dependable market for everyone who loves to shop on budget. however Roudy, it's still one preferable for most people because things like clothes are affordable

Very busy market with traffic jam and maltitude of people, where you can buy furniture both new and second hand clothes, utensils or kitchen appliances row food staff and many many more at affordable prices! Security wise need to be alert from pick pocketers and brokers. Mostly good for locals, foreigners are advised to be in the company of local who is a friend to them.

Great place for second-hand clothes, bags, shoes, belts etc. Look simple so as to blend with the crowd. Avoid use of mobile phone as phone-thieves lurk.

"They are a talented, creative company and are absolute professionals in everything they do."

This is a one-stop market for all your wardrobe needs, ranging from dresses, suits, shirts, pants to bedding. As if that is not enough, you can get ex-Uk sports gear, kitchen wares, and toys, among others. Opened daily, morning till late, with Monday to Saturday being the recommended shopping days. Wait, did I mention you can get food and all your groceries here!!? Of course you can, fish, chicken, banana and vegetables just to mention but a few. On rainy days, grab your gumboots because you might not like it!! Happy shopping, and remember to get some of the apparel from us @AllantehsWear ❤️

Had the most memorable day of my life.... didn't loose anything but gained experience and expertise in many ventures... I'd love to be back soon.

The fact that I can get anything I want from this place is just awesome.! The people are hard working. You just need to be careful with whoever you interact with and the things you are getting.!

It's one of the best places to find cheap products. However, it's very congested as there are so many people. Another drawback is that levels of hygiene are too low and the area is a bit insecure

The all time best supermarket of second clothes outfits 😉🥳 Both in wholesale and retail 💯and most importantly, relatively cheap.

It's crowded as usual 😁 but its also the best mtumba provider and all ex-Uk/US products.... anything you want,you get

It is an environment which if you have to visit when it has rained you ought to be prepared to dislike the place. The products (second hand clothes or mitumba as some usually call them)being sold there are relatively cheap but comparitively best quality as compared to the ones being sold in the neighbouring MUTHURWA MARKET. It is not a secure place though , walking around the market you just need to be carefull with your properties especially mobile phones and money ,not everyone is who they seem to look.

My go to market for 2nd hand goods at worthy prices. The earlier you go there the finer things you get. I'd still go here again and again. Watch out for the trolley guys and pick pockets

A great deal for planned n unplanned buys ... This is a place you will find yourself having everything you need in variety... You can easily lose track of where you started but all entrances lead to where you need to be.

I sell mtumba and walking to and from this place is not easy, it takes heart, patience and focus
