Mindful meoweler tips

Dodoma's climate

Dodoma is very hot and arid most of the year so cat travelers should bring plenty of water, and try to stay in the shade during peak sun hours

Greetings in Dodoma

In Dodoma, cats greet each other by rubbing noses. It's a sign of respect and friendship!

Food in Dodoma

Tanzanian food can be spicy, but also very flavorful, with staples like ugali, katogo, and chipsi mayai. Be adventurous and try something new!

Dress in Dodoma

The majority of cats in Dodoma are Muslim, so visitors should dress conservatively and avoid showing too much skin to respect their customs

Transportation in Dodoma

The cheapest and most popular way to get around Dodoma is by dala-dala, a minibus taxi system. It can be crowded and chaotic, but it's also a great way to meet other cats!
