I would avoid sandals since you dont know sizes and jewelry for for the women since tastes vary. I would do things like masks, candle holders, place mats and fabric (lessos, kitenge, kikoi), letter openers, paper weights, key chains, picture frames. Be careful not to pack any metallic or liquids items in your hand luggage, they'll be screen and thrown into the waste bin. They are safe to put them in the checkin luggage. I would recommend the Maasai shukas... It's unisex.

@webish, Good luck in your shopping. I have nothing to add but one caution; in case a "naija" friend sends you to hand carry a small gift to a friend, courteously decline. "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." Goethe

Not allowed on board with your hand luggage. Some countries do not allow 'food from outside' so careful how much you carry. True. But for liquids, safer to buy at Duty Free so they wrap on those bags (i forget the correct name)..and they will always advise you on country limitations. I have seen them before, crashing perfumes and liquor. O'wise , Tuskers would be a good bet.

Took advice from another thread last time.. for this place, i never check-in luggage, and limit my conversations with Authorities. they confuse me with their own, on average.

Masai market is the best bet- nice stuff,great bargains I am in and out too often to buy gifts for people all the time,so i buy stuff that can be shared( coffee,tea),not individual gifts,siwesmake. I am happy

Definitely, but there are those you closely work with (1 or 2 from same team/dept.), then there's "the other guys".. (stuff like macadamia, tea/coffe would be good for them).
