"Excellent accommodation"
1 night Arrived 15 Jun 2019
"Rivertrees Country Inn was an excellent introduction to Tanzania.
The serene setting beside a river, the well-tended gardens, the attentive staff and the beautifully appointed rooms were a treat. While not actually close to any particular points of interest. for travellers arriving at Kilimanjaro Airport en route to the national parks, it is as good a place as any from which to launch your expeditions.
Highly recommended." See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania; 4n in Zanzibar

"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."
