Loved the monkeys outside our door in the morning!" See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania
"Rivertrees Country Inn review"
Accommodations were comfortable and the food was delicious. Staff were plentiful and always available.
The juice was magnificent!
We left the next morning with our guide for a tour of Arusha, visits to the Cultural Art Gallery, coffee plantation, and lunch. These experiences were wonderfully interesting, but took up much of our day. A visit to the Arusha National Park is our only regret as we heard later in our trip of its magnificence and options of canoeing and other activities.
We also did not have time for an authentic open market visit which was on the wish list. We probably could have arrived at the Katambuga House later and fit in another activity." See all these reviews: 13n in Tanzania
"Rivertrees Country Inn review"
Our flight arrived early in the morning and our room was not ready (which we were told would be the case). There was no area to wait other than the reception benches or the restaurant or bar area. This made the wait a little uncomfortable as we were too tired to explore the grounds much. If we were to visit again we would ensure to arrive later in the day. That being said, the staff did everything they could to prepare our room as early as possible.
All members of staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious and comfortable. The food was very good. The grounds are very pretty and we enjoyed exploring (after we had had a little sleep) trying to spot monkeys in the trees." See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania; 4n in Zanzibar
