Owning some kind of animal was a prestige as it made transportation and ferrying of luggage easier.

In Limuru, the donkey is still used for transport especially for charcoal which is usually collected from the Rift Valley and brought up the escarpment. This is not a job for the fainthearted as it requires skill and stamina not only for the animals but also the guides.

Limuru residents still prefer the donkey as a form of transport for the hot and dry climate in the area.
