"Rivertrees Country Inn review"

1 night Arrived 27 Sep 2022
"This is our second safari with Expert Africa and we stayed at Rivertrees last time. It has proved on both occasions to be a perfect spot to recover from the flights before we set off on the Safari proper.

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 "

1 night Arrived 15 Sep 2022
"What a fun place to stay - our last night in Tanzania - lucked out with a happy hour and lots of locals and expats. The food and service were terrific and the rooms very comfortable. Best of all: the three different kinds of monkeys that live on the grounds of the hotel - including a very hungry one that tried to get into our room!!"
