By HILARY KIMUYU November 27th, 2015 1 min read

Pope Francis is known for his humility and the simple things in life.

He does not like to live like his predecessor who was known to wear designer shoes.

With an annual budget of Sh 32.6 billion, Pope Francis likes to be driven in the simplest of cars. He is never chauffeured in large motorcades.

Here are some of the cars the Holy Father has used in some of his tours around the world.
