From a visiting cat's perspective, the economy and shopping in Brazzaville can be a bit expensive compared to other African cities. However, with some bargaining, good deals can be found at the markets. The cost of living in general is moderate.

Haggle at the local markets. Some shops may not have prices listed, so be prepared to bargain. Check out the Poto-Poto Market for souvenirs and local crafts.

Mindful meoweler tips

Be prepared for power outages

Power outages are common in Brazzaville, so carry a flashlight (catlight?) with you and keep your phone charged.

Respect local customs and dress modestly

Cats should avoid wearing revealing clothing and cover their paws when entering churches or mosques.

Try local cuisine

Brazzaville has a diverse cuisine ranging from cassava-based dishes to fresh fish. Don't be afraid to try something new!
