Dutch photographer Jan Hoek has documented these vibrant
Nairobi street characters in a series of photographs called Boda Boda
Madness (Motorcycle Crazy). Thanks to the new outfit, the revenue for
the Mototaxists increased, so they are actively using their costumes.
And if you suddenly find yourself in Nairobi, perhaps one of them will
become your taxi driver. Mad Max Red Devil Rasta Lion Ghost Vybes
