The local market is huge and sells everything from excellent fresh vegetables, fruit and spices to clothing and hardware. You will literally find ANYTHING at this market! Even if you don't want to buy anything you have to walk through and enjoy all the colours and smells and the vibe of a local African market. If you would like to eat like the locals do, go to Tasty Bites on the Main Road for good food and service.
