Mindful meoweler tips

Learn some Lingala, the local language

Meow at locals to greet them (it means 'hello' in Lingala)

Don't approach cats too quickly; give them their personal space and let them come to you

Savor the local cuisine

Indulge in some saka-saka (cassava leaves dish) or kwanga (cassava flour dish)
