Me Driving a Matatu in Africa

I recently took a trip from Kenya to the Congo with friends and co-workers. We rented this van (matatu) and drove through Uganda, Rwanda and the Congo. Notice how the steering wheel is on the right side of the vehicle. This is how the vehicles are in Kenya. They also drive on the left side of the road (like the British), whereas folks in North America drive on the right side of the road.

When we got to Rwanda and the Congo, I drove because no one else knew how to drive on the right side of the road like we do in the U.S. I enjoyed driving, even though the roads can be very bad with huge holes. I even enjoyed driving on the left side of the road in Uganda. We made it back to Kenya safely. You can see photos of the countries we visited on this blog.
