As a visiting cat, I found the economical situation in Koforidua to be moderately affordable. Prices for food, accommodations, and transportation were reasonable, but some items such as imported goods and souvenirs were more expensive.

Visit local markets for affordable souvenirs and try street food for budget-friendly meals.

The catnip is plentiful in this feline-friendly city, with plenty of climbing trees and sunny spots for napping.

The curious cats will enjoy the colorful markets and friendly cat locals, though they may need to watch their tails in traffic.

Mindful meoweler tips

Wear conservative and modest clothing

cats should avoid tight or revealing clothing, it will not be well received by locals who adhere to conservative cultural norms.

Try the local dish 'ampesi' with 'kontomire'

Cats should sink their paws into the tasty stew made of boiled yams and plantains, served with cassava leaves stew.

Expect to barter and haggle

Cats should expect to negotiate prices when shopping at the local markets. Do it with a smile and good humor.

Attend a cultural festival or ceremony

Cats should make a point to experience the vibrant local culture by attending one of the many colorful festivals or ceremonies that take place throughout the year.

Take a hike in the Aburi Botanical Gardens

Cats should stretch their legs and explore the lush and sprawling gardens, featuring a wide variety of tropical plants and a canopy walkway.
