Rivertrees Country Inn

Rivertrees Country Inn was a lush oasis that we stayed at for two nights at the beginning of our safari, and then used the country house and rooms on our way back for a respite in the middle of our traveling back home. The locations and grounds are very beautiful and the colobus and black-faced velvet monkeys added to the enjoyment of the property. The food was very good and there were plenty of choices for all the meals. The gift shop was well-stocked with reasonable prices. The service was slow at times in the restaurant and bar, otherwise this would have been five stars.

We stayed here before and after climbing Mount Meru. We were able to leave our non-trekking gear there while we climbed. It's pretty convenient to Arusha Airport and to Arusha National Park. The rooms are very nice, the grounds are lovely (with monkeys!), and the food is good.

Very pleasant accommodation between the Kilimanjaro airport and the ciry ofAusha. The huts are spacious and clean, the grouds are well established and catered for. Nice staff, food in the restaurant was decent, and the bar well stocked. You can arrange some outings at the Rivertree, if you wish to do so. Medium price range.

We had a great couple of days here in early February as a stop over for our safari trip .The room are excellent very clean and spacious, every night a maid turns your bed down and get to sleep in a 4 poster bed. The restaurant is in great location and the staff are helpful always on hand Our waiter emmanuel was first class gave us a great welcome. My wife asked how they cooked the meal he got the chef over Lorin-Sheff who explained how she prepared and cooked the meal Great service

We as most people got to this lodge to sleep after the very early arrival in the airport. We decided to stay one more night to come down. Good decision. We were greeted at 3 something am and shown to our nice villa. Ample space, nice bathroom with all amenities and a comfy bed. All very clean. Drinking water is provided. We were woken up at 8am by some monkeys walking over our roof, a common experience there. First meal was lunch, a buffet and to order, very tasty and well prepared but be careful, the portions are large. The whole Inn is in a large garden with a river on one side which offers nice walks and monkeys of different species are around as well as a lot of birds. The pool is more on the small and cool side but makes for a relaxing afternoon. Just watching the wildlife. Dinner was outside with some begging cats and again, very tasty food in large portions. Cocktails were well prepared and beer was cold. Breakfast was also a very nice affair with enough choice. All in all a very good place to start a safari tour. One thing though, they charged us twice for our beers and claimed a connction issue with the first payment.

Me and three travel companions spent one night here prior to departing for Ngorogoro. The grounds were peaceful and serene. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable….with wifi. We had three meals (B/L/D) all of which were excellent. The staff was friendly and welcoming and there were two friendly cats roaming the property. Would I stay here again…Yes I would.
