Mindful meoweler tips

Safety first!

Avoid traveling alone at night, especially in the outskirts of the city. Always be vigilant and aware of your surroundings.

Respect the local culture

When visiting mosques, dress conservatively and remove your shoes before entering. Greet elders and those in authority first.

Beware of the weather

Bangui's climate is hot and humid. Be sure to stay hydrated and be aware of the symptoms of heat exhaustion and stroke.

Try Central African cuisine!

Sample traditional dishes like moambe stew and saka saka (cassava leaves). Don't miss out on the local beers, such as Mocaf and Doli!

Visit the Ubangi River

Take a boat ride on the majestic Ubangi River and take in the beautiful scenery. Don't forget your camera!

Don't always trust the roads

Roads can be dangerous and poorly maintained in Bangui. Take necessary precautions when driving and beware of reckless drivers.
