"Rivertrees Country Inn review"

3 nights Arrived 23 Feb 2019
"In hindsight, we would have preferred a hotel that was closer to Arusha.

The setting of Rivertrees was lovely and it was good to walk through the grounds.

We were there for 3 days, and it was a bit isolated and the drive into Arusha seemed long." See all these reviews: 15n in Tanzania

"Beautiful setting with peaceful surroundings "

1 night Arrived 14 Jan 2019
"My husband and I absolutely adored Rivertrees. It’s tucked away like a hidden paradise. Room was lovely with comfy bed, food was delicious and staff was friendly. The layout and grounds are just beautiful. We woke up to monkeys playing in the trees outside our room and enjoyed walking down to the river. We wish we could have stayed longer, but we’re headed off to our safari location. We would love to stay here again and next time longer." See all these reviews: 6n in Zanzibar; 4n in Tanzania

"Rivertrees Country Inn review"

1 night Arrived 2 Oct 2017
"Lovely spot, and a great place to catch up on a few hours sleep and relax before the 'hard work' started.

Accommodation was comfy and well appointed. Pretty grounds and great to add several new bird species and watch blue monkeys before we'd even set foot in a Landcruiser. Staff were excellent. Bar and restaurant area were certainly up to standard.

We only stayed one night, but this would certainly be a great location to spend a few days looking at Arusha and environs" See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania

"Very pleasant"

2 nights Arrived 19 Sep 2017
"Rivertrees is a lovely place to stay in Arusha: lush and green, with very well-appointed, spacious rooms and good food in the restaurant.

Drinks at the bar were very reasonably priced and there's wifi in the public areas. Vervet monkeys provided some fine late afternoon entertainment.

It's about half-way between Kilimanjaro and Arusha airports, a 30-40 minute drive each. It was a convenient and very pleasant stop for a one-day layover in Arusha." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania
