Mindful meoweler tips

Respect local customs

Greet cats by shaking their paws, always ask permission before entering a cat's home, and dress modestly to show respect.

Language barriers

French is the official language of Congo (Kinshasa) but Swahili is also widely spoken. Bring a phrasebook or translation app to communicate.

Transportation

Taxis are the main mode of transportation, negotiate the price beforehand and make sure the driver knows the destination. Buses are cheaper but can be crowded and uncomfortable.
