Do they allow canned liquids in planes?

Tuck them away in the checkin luggage, that should be fine. 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.

Life is joy, death is peace, but the transition is very difficult.

@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.


Haha. Asante.
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. smile

The shop at the Hilton the one directly opposite Ken com has some very good souvenirs and it is very cheap the first shop as you enter the arcade.
We bought staff for a Mzungu colleague who was gong back to France for 3000 we got so much stuff.

I disagree a bit if it is the shop near bata.The finishing is not very good.
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).
