How we get around

1. Foot - this would be our main mode of transportation in Africa. Probably because it is easiest and no one can try to rip you off by overcharging for walking.
2. Taxi - picture the most ghetto bus imaginable, subtract any comfortable qualities, and you have a Ugandan taxi. They are truly amazing. There are 5 rows available for 3 passengers, but I have never been on a taxi with less than 18 people. The most I have been with on a taxi is 24 + chickens. Speed limits? Ugandans have never heard of such a thing.
3. Boda-Boda - I learned that this term has been shortened from what it once was, "border-border." These are motorcycle taxis usually seating one comfortably, plus the driver, but I have been on/witnessed many boda-bodas with whole families hanging on for dear life. These are by far the funnest way to travel, but also the scariest in traffic. You would only ride one of these in Kampala if you were suicidal.
4. Private taxi - you hire a driver, they drive you around in whatever ghetto car they might have and you pay through the nose for it. However, they are effective if you are in a time crunch and you would like a little more leg room.

And that my friends, is how we do it in Africa.
