"Rivertrees Country Inn review"
The grounds are pretty and plenty of opportunity to watch the local monkeys in the trees. Accommodation is comfortable and well appointed. Bar facilities and food are great with a varied menu.
Staff are uniformly good. We couldnt really fault the place. Would certainly use them again should we fly into Kilimanjaro" See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar

"What a fun place to stay "
"Rivertrees Country Inn review"
"Pleasant place to start"
Our room was very comfortable, a lovely big bed, and a real treat in a nice deep, warm bath. The room was a little dark and chilly, on a cloudy, overcast, cool day.
The staff were all lovely, and the food at lunchtime and dinner was super, really fresh and tasty, and we dined outside. Breakfast was a bit disappointing, not much of a spread in a buffet, average coffee, and a rather gloomy terrace.
The much-vaunted birding walk by the river was a bit of let-down, with no birds and lots of mosquitoes. Breakfast was, however, made more fun by the cavorting vervet monkeys in the gardens." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania
