Mindful meoweler tips

Ugandan greetings

Cats should be aware that in Uganda, a handshake is often accompanied by a short pause and a series of very specific greetings.

Traditional dances

Lira is home to many traditional dances, such as the Bwola dance of the Acholi people. Visitors should try to catch a performance during their stay.

Food and drink

Cats should try local delicacies like matoke (boiled plantains), ugali (cornmeal porridge), and Nile perch. Drinking bottled water is recommended.
