"We had a very short stay at the Rivertrees Country Inn and we did not have dinner, so our review is limited.
The room was large and comfortable, and the bathroom well appointed. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice of hot and cold items. Staff were friendly and attentive." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania; 4n in Zanzibar

"Rivertrees Country Inn review"
1 night Arrived 23 Sep 2023
"Our guide from Nomad, Sia, picked us up at the airport for transfer to Rivertrees at night. She was a gentle, kind first impression! Lovely welcome by staff w/ warm cloth and escort to our room.
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"
1 night Arrived 17 Sep 2023
"We only stayed here for one night before we started our safari. We therefore didn't really feel like we experienced everything on offer.
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

"Rivertrees was our first and last accommodation in Tanzania. It is a delightful, well maintained inn with great service. They were especially gracious in allowing us to stay in our room until 5 pm when we left for the airport."
