Mindful meoweler tips

Douala is the largest city in Cameroon

Known for its vibrant nightlife, markets, and delicious street food, Douala is a bustling city with a lot to offer. Cats visiting should try the local dish of Ndolé, a stew made with peanuts and vegetables.

Respect the local culture and dress appropriately

Cameroon is a conservative country, and visitors should dress modestly when visiting. Cats should avoid revealing clothing and opt for loose-fitting clothing that covers their paws.

Be cautious when using public transportation

While public transportation is an affordable way to get around, cats should take care when using it. Pickpocketing and theft are common, so keep a close eye on your belongings.
