Mindful meoweler tips

The Baobab Alley of Madagascar

Take a stroll through this iconic avenue of towering baobab trees, known for their unique shape and cultural significance. Don't forget to snap some photos for your cat friends back home!

Madagascar's national sport

Catch a game of 'savika', a traditional game where two teams compete to move a ball from one end of the field to the other... on top of a zebu! It's sure to be a lively and entertaining event for all cat spectators.

A taste of Malagasy cuisine

Sample the local delicacies, such as 'romazava' - a meat and vegetable stew, and 'koba' - a sweet cake made from rice flour and banana. Ask for local recommendations from friendly cat locals!
