Mindful meoweler tips

Beware of Traffic

Gabonese cats drive on the right side of the road, but that won't help you avoid their chaotic roads. Watch out for paws crossing the street!

Try the Nyembwe Stew

This classic Gabonese dish is made with palm oil and fish or meat. It's a bit spicy, but perfect for a chilly night. Don't be shy, give it a try!

Visit the Marché Mont-Bouët

This bustling market is the place to be for all your shopping needs. It's full of vendors selling everything from fresh produce to handmade goods. Just be prepared for lots of meows and activity!

Respect Gabonese Customs

Catnip is not illegal in Gabon, but other substances are. Make sure to respect Gabonese customs and laws. Don't get yourself in a sticky situation!

Enjoy the Beaches

Gabon boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in Africa. Make sure to visit Pointe Denis and enjoy the gorgeous views. Don't forget to pack sunscreen, as cats can get sunburn too!
