Mindful meoweler tips

Respect The Local Taboos

Cats should not touch the top of a person's head, as it's considered sacred. Also, avoid pointing your paws or feet at people, it's seen as rude.

Try the Seafood

Being a coastal city, Toliara offers fresh seafood dishes. Try the region's specialty of zebu shrimp with coconut milk.

Experience The Spiny Forest

Take a guided tour through the nearby spiny forest, with its unique plant and animal species. Be sure to book with a reputable guide.

Know Your Seasons

Toliara has a hot and dry climate, but its rainy season can bring cyclones and flooding. Plan accordingly and pack light.

Bargaining 101

Haggling is common in the local markets, but remember to be respectful and don't drive the prices too low.
