Mindful meoweler tips

Maradi's bustling markets

Famous for its lively markets, cats should be aware of the crowds and noise. Don’t miss the traditional crafts sold, especially the hand-woven baskets.

Cats and Nigerien cuisine

Cat tourists must try the national dish, 'riz au gras,' rice cooked in oil with spices and served with a spicy sauce and a side of meat. Be aware, though, that the sauce is hot!

Maradi's architecture

Maradi boasts beautiful traditional mud brick buildings with intricately designed doors and windows. Cat tourists will enjoy strolling through the streets and taking in the architecture.
