a few year ago the people used the donkey´s for transport to near places and like farm animals.
Is funny to travel on donkey but you need to be careful because if the donkey is tired,  he doesn´t want to move and you stay at the middle of the way.
It´s free and you can make a competition,
The student´s of escom travel in a donkey for change class and they visit others schools, it´s very funny and relax in exams time
