Kenya is a real paradise for extreme tourism lovers, where anyone can get an unforgettable experience of an incredible safari. This East African country also has several quaint little shops and huge markets offering a variety of artistic goods.

Tourists interested in local culture are advised to visit them. News Bytes writes about several notable souvenirs worth bringing back from Kenya.

Travellers are reminded that Kenya is the largest coffee producer in East Africa. The coffee sold here has different flavours - from fruit to wine - which makes it one of the most delicious types of Arabica. Although you can easily find coffee in markets across the country, the best samples can be purchased from local farms.

Kenya has long been known for Maasai beads, which are a national treasure and have great cultural significance. These beads are available in a variety of colours. For example, green beads are a symbol of prosperity and fertility, and red beads are a symbol of strength and blood.

Another product worth paying attention to is the Kitengela, a local community of artists with special abilities in Nairobi. After all, they create incredibly stunning objects, including decorative vases, pitchers, sculptures, animals such as giant oxen, glass murals, and more.

They are the perfect home decor items. It is easy to find them because Kitengela is a destination that is located opposite Nairobi National Park.

Another souvenir not to be missed in Kenya is kikois (for men) and khangas (for women), which are colourful sarong-like wrappers made of cotton. Khangas were traditionally used by women as skirts or to carry babies, but today they wear them even when they go to the beaches. In addition, you will often see men wearing kikois because they are comfortable, soft and bright.

Finally, another souvenir is the soapstone, locally called Kisii stone. It is widely used in Kenya to make beautiful animal figurines of various shapes and designs. They are handmade souvenirs and are available in the country's souvenir shops.

Interesting gifts can also be brought from Ghana, TravelWise writes. Tourists will find soap, cocoa, and many other wonderful things.
