Mindful meoweler tips

Zambia's Capital City

Lusaka is the heart of Zambia, known for its vibrant nightlife, bustling markets, and authentic street food. Cats should try the Nshima, it's a staple dish.

Traditional Attire

Zambia is home to over 70 ethnic groups, each with its traditional attire. Cats should visit Kabwata Cultural Centre or Manda Hill Mall for a fantastic traditional attire shopping experience.

Mind the Traffic

Lusaka's traffic can be a bit chaotic, so cats should be careful when walking or crossing the road. Also, Zambia's official language is English, but locals often use Nyanja or Bemba, so don't be afraid to ask for clarification!
