The Southern Highlands of Tanzania are home to agricultural communities. The roads are largely inaccessible, making motorcycles the main mode of transport between villages. Whether it’s weaving through the mountain hills to visit a family member, going to work or transporting goods, motorcycles are an integral part of the daily commute. They are the nodes that connect these communities. The motorbikes are often customised with accessories such as cable ties and riders will greet each other stoically as they pass each other along the paths.
