The pictures below are always that great but while ‘m stuck in traffic jam or driving slowly, Arusha street life keeps me busy. There is always one detail, one funny feature catching your eye, well for those who can enjoy that activity.
Colors don’t always match perfectly, but colorful it is out there. Many vehicles in Africa show a motto related to religions. Some can be scary like “God is my co-driver”! I’m always concerned the driver might be busy picking his nose a bit too long and rely too much on his so-called co-driver…
For once a smart motto.
Wooden hand-carts are numerous and have to be taken into account in the jams.
Colors! Sometimes you better wear strong sunglasses!
This guy overestimated his own weight but is getting helped. The neighbor is busy loading a huge crate of tomatoes, maybe a second one on top later, on his piki piki (small motorbike in swahili) and then will probably drive like crazy as usual.
And cyclists know a few things too about riding overloaded….only bread but still.
That’s it, some of the pictures I collected on one morning drive to the airport… better than a jammed European highway!
spot on! I like the place for these reasons, especially when on my bicycle.

The colors of the place are very vivid. In any case, it's an interesting sight. You get used to the sight of cars, and outside the roads and streets we are familiar in, they start having a subtle but different look. It kinda gives you the feeling that things are on the move, in parts of the world that are unfamiliar to some...
