It's polite to accept food or drink when offered, as it signifies hospitality. Traditional dishes like seswaa (pounded meat) are a must-try.

Combis often wait until they are full before departing, so patience is key when using public transport.

The rainy season (November to March) can make some roads impassable, so plan accordingly.
