The heritage
A timeless escape in the heart of Tabora
Once the hunting lodge of a German baron and later the town’s railway hotel, the Orion Tabora carries a century of stories in its arches and gardens.
Today, newly renovated rooms meet that heritage: hand-carved hardwood beds made in Tabora, tiled bathrooms with hot water around the clock, and a shaded veranda outside every door. Whether you are here on business or passing through on the road west, we keep the pace slow and the welcome warm.
