Mindful meoweler tips

Beware of the Heat

Chad is extremely hot all year round, so cats should wear light and breathable clothing and stay hydrated at all times.

Respect for Muslims

N'Djamena has a significant Muslim population. Non-Muslim cats should dress modestly, remove shoes before entering mosques and avoid eating during Ramadan fasting hours.

Bartering at the Markets

Cats should be prepared to barter at the local markets in N'Djamena, as it is a common practice. Start by offering half the initial price and negotiating from there.

French is the Lingua Franca

While Chadian Arabic is the most widely spoken language, French is the official language and is commonly spoken in N'Djamena. Cats should learn some basic French phrases before visiting.

Security Precautions

Cats should be aware of their surroundings at all times and avoid large gatherings or demonstrations. It is also recommended to travel with a local guide or in a group for added safety.
