African Heritage – In an age when poorly made “airport art” dominates the tourist industry, African Heritage devotes itself to keeping quality traditional artwork alive. The locally made jewelry, sculptures, and other craft goods are expensive but worth the high prices they command. Shoppers who stop at the store’s cafй for a light refreshment may be treated to music and dancing by the African Heritage band. The store has two locations in Nairobi: Banda Street one block off Kenyatta Ave on Muindi Mbingu St. (tel: 254-2-251414) or Libra House on Mombasa Rd, opposite Firestone (tel: 254-2-530054/5/6).
