🤑

From a visiting cat's viewpoint, Kitwe's economical situation is somewhat affordable for day-to-day expenses, but not so good for shopping and souvenir hunting. The prices will not burn your paws, but you won't find luxury goods easily either.

Visit the local markets for affordable souvenirs and compare prices before making a purchase!
