Whenever night falls, the breeze blows, and the neon lights flicker, do you long to hide your loneliness after a day of running, to relax in the starry night, to find some warmth, or to encounter a story?
There are many metropolises around the world that are known for their nightlife. For example, Paris, New York, Shanghai, Hong Kong------
Each city is full of night scenery.
But today I would like to ask you to know about the nightlife of Tanzania, located in eastern Africa and south of the equator.
When it comes to Tanzania, you're thinking of hunting adventures that aren't lush green plains and exploring a variety of free-roaming exotic wildlife. It is true that Tanzania, which is mainly agricultural and is known as "one of the least developed countries in the world", will indeed give you such an impression, but this is not all of Tanzania.
There's so much more to explore in Tanzania, such as the nightlife of Tanzanian cities – home to the most interesting bars, clubs and drinks to drink, so if you're staying in Tanzania or travelling there, why not pick a bar to spend the night out?
Here's a list of the most exciting Tanzanian bars.

If you say which bar in this list is the most luxuriously decorated, it is not the Holocaust nightclub. It is divided into indoor and outdoor areas, the former can blow the evening breeze to sweep the night view of the city, and the latter is full of comfortable sofa seats.
In the evenings, the bar serves a variety of cocktails and beers, and DJs deliver action-packed electronic music on time to lead people to dance together. There is also a special light show, the colored lights flicker in the bar, unpredictable, the effect is very shocking.
As the name suggests, the nightclub draws people here to wreak havoc, destroy all uncomfortable rules, break the rules of the day at work, stretch your body thoroughly, relax your mind, and experience a beautiful night without restraint.
It's worth noting that this bar is often overcrowded, so it's recommended that you arrive early to give yourself a good spot by the window.
Top8 Level 8 Lounge

Level8 Bar is famous for its top bay views, sitting on the roof sofa, looking up at the endless blue sky, as if in a sea of clouds, looking out and only one way away from the sea, taking a deep breath is the refreshing air of the bay. A wide variety of drinks are served here, but there are not many types of food, only snacks such as fried pork ribs, but they are said to be quite delicious.
A traveler on the review site said: "The environment is excellent, the scenery is pleasant, and the service is very attentive! Ordering a cocktail and watching the sunset here is a very enjoyable experience.
However, it is worth noting that this bar is on the high price, mostly for the scenery, if you are more concerned about the cost performance or the deliciousness of drinks and food, you may wish to shop around and make a choice.
——Dividing line——
Modern young people are often faced with the ultimate question: Where to go at night?
When asked this question, people had a hundred results in their minds, but finally they went back to their homes and opened their phones to play until the early hours of the morning.
The pace of the times is getting faster and faster, working more than ten hours a day has become the norm, we and our peers are inseparable, and we have to take on the heavy responsibilities of family and ideals, and we often feel exhausted and lose our own time under pressure, only when night falls, we can take back a little fragment of our own life.
At the beginning of the lights, it has become a dream of many people to find a corner in the bustling metropolis, unarm, and easily face each other, and "nightlife" and "bars" are such a corner. "Go to the bar and sit for a while" has slowly become a part of many people's lives.
When you want to reminisce about the old days with friends at night, or think quietly alone, or even want to drink and dance all night to get rid of fatigue, bars are the best place in many people's hearts, here we don't have to care about saying the wrong thing and doing wrong things, don't accept criticism, we don't know each other with our peers around us but have some pity for each other, there is enough wine to comfort the soul, and there is also dancing youth.
When the weekend comes, or when you are depressed, instead of hiding in the bed and staying up late to play on the phone like obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is better to call your best friends, choose a favorite bar on the list, and spend a good night.
Finally, I would like to remind my friends in Tanzania to pay attention to safety, and I also wish you good health and success in your career
