Taxi Brousse Tops

Since many people don’t have cars Taxi Brousses are the main way to move about the country. They are also helpful because they will transport not only you and your luggage, but any larger items you may want. What can you take with you? Well the short answer is just about anything. Here is an incomplete list of everything I’ve seen strapped to the top of a brousse.

1. Bed frame
2. Mattress
3. Table
4. Wooden chairs
5. Leather sofa
6. Plastic chairs
7. Goats
8. Pigs
9. People (not common)
10. Shoes
11. Rice
12. Bananas
13. Really any food
14. Clothes
15. Luggage
16. Canoes
17. Motorcycles
18. Bikes
19. Tires
20. Sheet metal
21. Water Barrels
22. Baskets full of chickens

Smaller things can go into the brousse with you. I’ve sat next to someone carrying a basket full of crabs and have had chickens and ducks biting at my feet.

An example of a brousse. This wouldn’t be considered a very packed brousse
