Not much shopping near there. You will need to take a cab to the Nakumatt supermarket on mombasa road which is 24hrs. After 9pm will take you 10 minutes to get there. Between 6.30 am and 8.30 pm upto 30 minutes.

Makena, please note that not MOST supermarkets are open 24 hours. Only a select few. Just stick to Nakumatt Mega on Uhuru Highway.

24 hour Nakumatt's: http://www.nakumatt.net/24Hours.html
