Mbozi Meteorite is a nice place to visit. You will be able to observe closely the heavenly object said to fall from the sky many years ago.

Its exciting to see, feel & touch something that has come from the space. Wish it could connect you to where it came from to explore more about the outer space

Its a large metorite. Mainly composed out of iron. Its 20 min from main road. There almost finished building a nice visitor centre. Entrance fee is 10.000tzs. Worth a visit if your in the area.

This makes Tanzania to keep being an african country with many deferent amazing features exists the meteorite stricked to this place many years ago and it was believed to be a magical factor that brought it down.traditional people of this place began to worshipon this stone due to ignorance they had. Currently its the biggest meteorites that exist in the whole world making Tanzania proud. Something bad is that the government doesnt care about this although it earns foreign curency through it. The area around isnt well bult since there are no five star hotel near this place infact tourists who visit here have to be well prepared to return back to mbozi town here where they can get access to hotels and other facilities.something amezing with this meteorite is its sound once you hit it,it realy sounds good.most of people all over the world who would like to see a meteorite prefers to at this place regardless of existence of meteorites in other places in the world.Surely its a good place to learn

Its quite a place to be,its just 70 kms from Mbeya City center and 11 kms from Mlowo for those who are coming from Tunduma border.Mbozi Meteorite can be reached after entrances fees being cleared.There are no hotels or restaurant nearby so i advise pack your light meals, bites,water and other refreshments.You can camp there is electricity and water all the time.

Dont expect too much, the site gets a bit overcrowded which could leave you disappointed. Getting there is not really easy as there is no signage, but you will eventually get there. It is a clearing in the bush and there lies this meteor, heavy and consisting of different metals.If you come here, you should definitely plan some walking around the region, more than a piece of metal, to be sure.
