Located in close proximity to the Jozani National Park, in the small village of Pete, this popular tourist attraction is home to an impressive live display of Tanzanian butterflies. They are raised in collaboration with around 40 local farmers residing in Pete, providing extra income for the impoverished communities and promoting conservation along the way.

Guided tours at the Zanzibar Butterfly Centre are a pretty unique experience. They offer the opportunity to learn more about the life stages of a butterfly, get a new understanding of the importance of the conservation of the tropical forest, and see many butterflies flying around—or even have them land on your hand if you’re lucky enough.

Zanzibar’s Butterfly Centre is open to visitors every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and it’s especially popular with families. The general admission fee is set at $6, while kids pay half the price, and the largest part of the proceeds directly supports the farmers who are making this project possible.

Forodhani Gardens

The small park, found on the coast of the Indian Ocean, sits across the street from some of the town’s most famous buildings like the Arab Fort, the House of Wonders, and the Palace Museum. Each night, a food market takes place in the garden where you can sample Swahili and Zanzibari cuisine.

Changuu Island

Also known as “Prison Island”, the island can be reached on a short-20 minute boat ride from Stone Town. You’ll see dozens of giant tortoises, many of which are over 200 years old, and the sandy white beaches and clear water are great for swimming and snorkeling.

The Arab Fort (Ngome Kongwe)

Known for its architecture and history, the building was constructed in the late 17th century. It was built on top of an even older Portuguese church as a way of defense against the occupying Portuguese forces before it was turned into a prison in the 19th century and a ladies’ tennis club before the 1964 Revolution. The amphitheater is still used today and you can catch a live performance on the 400-year-old stage.

Dar es Salaam

The former capital of Tanzania was once just a small fishing town on the coast of the Indian Ocean, but is now a booming metropolis. There are many shops, bars, and restaurants to enjoy, as well as opportunities to experience the history of the country.

If you are looking for a market in the city, Kariakoo is the one to visit. You can find just about anything there all for really low prices.

Another must-see item in the city is the Azania Lutheran Church. This church was built by German settlers and is right on the harbor of the city. You can go inside the church and also go up the bell tower for the awesome view.

If you’re in the city and looking to go out, there are tons of bars and nightclubs to experience. One of the most popular nightclubs that you need to visit is in the business district and is called Club Bilcanas. There you will find top 40 hits alongside popular Congolese dance music. There is also live music often, and a glass dance floor!Other fun bars and clubs in the city include Q Bar, New Maisha Club, and Level 8.

Zanzibar

This famous spice island is right off the coast of mainland Tanzania. The historic center of the capital, Zanzibar City, is called Stone Town and is classified as a World Heritage Site. There you will find winding cobblestone streets, as well as Arabic style buildings. In the center is also the Old Fort, the oldest building in the city dated back to the 17th century.

One of the most famous yet not overly crowded beaches on the island is called Nungwi beach. This beach is located on the Northwest tip of the island and does not have hotels directly on the beach, which adds to its relaxing atmosphere.

Mount Kilimanjaro

Obviously, if you are going all the way to Tanzania, you’ll likely be going to Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa with three volcanic cones. There are several different routes to reach the top, and preparation for this trip is of course crucial. But if you would just like to witness the mountain, you can see it from villages like Arusha, Marangu or Moshi. You can also enter the park that the mountain stands in called Kilimanjaro Nation Park and walk a bit of the trail and enjoy the vegetation.

Most of the trails to the top take between 6-8 days and can be a bit strenuous, but is absolutely worth it for the breathtaking views and natural occurrences you will witness.
