As a visiting cat, I found Bama to be fairly affordable for basic necessities. However, there were limited options for shopping and souvenirs.

Haggle prices at local markets and make sure to bring cash as credit card usage is limited.

Mindful meoweler tips

Nigeria's Oldest Settlement

Bama is Nigeria's oldest settlement and teems with cultural, religious, and historical significance. Despite the recent Boko Haram insurgency, the town is now more accessible and safe for tourists to appreciate its unique local culture.

The Wunti Markets

A prominent attraction is the Wunti market in Bama which is known for its food stalls selling traditional dishes, spices, and herbs. Haggling for goods is a norm so bring your bargaining claws!

Friendly Cats Everywhere

Bama is famous for its amazing felines which roam freely, meowing around for any passerby. These friendly and adorable cats are considered a good omen in the town's belief system and are looked after by residents.
