Mindful meoweler tips

Johannesburg's history is wrapped in gold

Johannesburg was founded on a gold rush, and now you can still visit the gold mines that created it all. Don't miss the opportunity to learn about the city's unique history and see it through the eyes of a miner cat!

Braai is the way to go

Braai (South African barbecue) is an essential part of the Johannesburg experience. Be sure to try some boerewors (beef sausage) and pap (maize porridge) while enjoying the company of other cats in one of the many parks or backyards. Be warned: some cats might try to steal your food!

Jozi is full of street art

Johannesburg is home to a vibrant and ever-growing street art scene. Take a walk around the city and discover the colorful murals that decorate the streets, buildings, and walls. You might even spot some hidden gems if you keep your feline eyes open!
