Tabora Region

Tabora Region spans across a vast area of central Tanzania, characterized by miombo forests, savanna landscapes, and numerous river systems at 1000-1500 meters elevation.

The region developed as a central trading post in the 1830s when coastal merchants established settlements to participate in ivory trade routes through central Africa.

The Nyamwezi people maintain strong agricultural traditions in Tabora, where the name itself originates from their word 'Matoborwa' referring to sweet potatoes.

The region connects to other parts of Tanzania through the Central Railway line, an airport in Tabora city, and a network of roads linking seven administrative districts.

Tabora stands as Tanzania's primary honey production center, utilizing its extensive miombo forests that cover 34,698 square kilometers of the territory.
