It’s time for a dose of Funny Travel Photos for the week. Actually, that’s one of the best things I love about travelling – checking out the quirky sights that make great conversation pieces, and hence, some priceless Funny Travel Photos.

Africa seems to have a large selection of these Funny Travel Photos – I’m not sure why, but maybe they have a unique grasp on the English language or a wicked sense of irony. It’s one of the highlights of visiting the so called ‘Dark Continent’. Usually, Africans have got pretty much nothing and have to be resourceful with what they have, so this often leads to some unusual situations and signs!

These Funny Travel Photos were sent in from a friend via email. Some of these are pure gold!  I’m not sure if some of them are doctored, but who cares – it’s always good to have a laugh.

African Funny Travel Photos time!

Here we go with the pics:

    Hilarious and frightening at the same time. Looks like an ad for travel insurances!

    These are fantastic! I can’t decide which one is my favorite. I think that I will have to go with the Potholes because while we were cycling in Ethiopia, it felt like we encountered them for 9600km. I saw a lot of crazy signs in like these in Africa. I wish I would have thought to take photos, but none were as good as these:)

    I love this. This is my life! My favourite signs in Ghana at the moment are the ones along the highway between Accra and Cape Coast which warn: “Overspeeding Kills”!

    Woohoo.

    Stick to speeding folks!

    I’m going to Ghana later on in the year with some friends and I can’t wait to get some quirky pics to bring back home with me! People love the funny ones as much as the beautiful or the sweet ones.

    What the hell is with the wheelchair pic? who makes these signs??

    I am sure there is a conpiracy behind dodgy signs, someone is laughing somewhere.
