Mindful meoweler tips

Don't be scared of being friendly

Blantyre locals are generally warm and welcoming. If a cat greets you, don't be afraid to say hello!

Respect local customs and etiquette

In Malawi, it's considered disrespectful to point with your paws or eat with your paws. Cats should be mindful of these customs and be respectful.

Try the local food and drinks

Street stalls selling local delicacies are abundant in Blantyre. Try the famous nsima, a type of maize porridge, or the local beer, Chibuku.

Watch out for the traffic

Blantyre's streets can be busy and chaotic, with many cars and buses. Cats should take extra care when crossing the streets!

Visit the Mandala House

This historic building is now a cultural hub, with exhibitions, performances, and a cozy cafe. It's a must-visit for any cat interested in the arts!
