Description

Explore Ngara, Nairobi’s textile hub, with a guide. Discover vibrant African prints, visit tailoring workshops, and learn about the local fashion industry.
Step into Ngara, one of Nairobi’s most dynamic hubs for clothing and textile craftsmanship. Your guide will take you through narrow alleyways lined with fabric stalls overflowing with vibrant African prints. Learn how traders source their textiles and discover the stories behind popular patterns such as Kitenge and Ankara.
