Visit Tabora
A calm, green town on the central plateau: mango-lined avenues, German-era buildings, the house where Livingstone waited, and a railway station from 1912. Here is what to see and how to get here.
Getting there
By air from Dar es Salaam or Kigoma, by train on the Central Line, or by road from Dodoma, Mwanza, Kigoma, Mpanda and Mbeya.
Getting around
Tabora is flat and compact. Taxis, boda-boda motorcycles and bicycle taxis cover the town; for Kwihara, Igombe or the parks you need a car.
Where to stay
From the colonial Kaiserhof to mission guest houses: where to sleep in Tabora, and the hotels that have listed themselves in the directory.
Practical information
When to come, money, health, phones and language.
