We choose Rivertrees as a place to stay as part of our transit from the UK to the Serengetti. On arrival (which was quite late in the evenong) we were welcomed by a host who explained about how the hotel operated and gave us a complimentary soft drink which was much appreciated after the long day spent flying to get from Newcastle via Amsterdam... We were shown to our rooms which were like mini cottages and very well appointed... The evening meal was very tasty and breakfast was a mix of serve yourself and cooked to order... I had an omelette which was extremely tasty and I got to watch it cooked in front of me...

We have been to Rivertrees many times and always loved it, however we have not been there since Covid (last time was Feb 2020), and this time the service, especially in the restaurant was pretty bad. Once time we waited +40 minutes for our waiter to bring us tea and coffee after our meal... we multiple times had to ask other waiters to bring us things we had ordered 10-15 minutes earlier... We also had guests and had reserved a table for a set time, but nothing had been setup and we kept having to go back and ask for basic services and menus again and again!... Our room wasn't even made up when we returned in the evening twice and no turn-down service... And once, I ordered a car service and after waiting 10 minutes I went back and I had to order again...

The place was beautiful but I was most impressed by the courteous and super helpful staff of the lodge . Each one helped me with my mobility issues... Pushed wheel on the gravel , carried my hand bag and cane , open doors for me , room service for food was excellent and each and everyone did it grace , kindness and a warm smile on their beautiful faces ... It is the people of Africa that I will always remember with heartfelt gratitude for their kindness and going above and beyond duty to help me...

We spent two days at Rivertrees country inn after arriving at Kilimanjaro airport for our first time in Tanzania for our honeymoon... We’re so glad we got to stay an extra day here as we got to recharge our batteries after a long flight and experience this lovely hotel... We were going to to relax around the pool all day, however we were advised that we had a driver waiting to take us to Arusha centre so we decided to go with it... The staff are amazing and are really friendly (as are all the people of Tanzania from my honeymoon)... Please stay one extra day in this hotel to relax before your safari and experience the amazing monkeys, food, and customer service...

This is a great place to spend time before or after your safari or climb.We spent three seperate nights here. Staff are friendly, cottage rooms lovely... The grounds are calm and beautiful and a small walk along the Usa river within the property is a great way to ground after a flight... They have amazing birds here and primates including black and white colobus monkeys... Food is pretty good, breakfast fresh, their pizza oven is excellent but the service is very slow...

This was my third stay at Rivertrees and for me it's the only place to stay in Arusha. Set on an old coffee farm the rooms are rustic the grounds are beautiful service and staff are great and the wood fired pizza with a cold Killi beer you can't beat. They have music in bar sometimes and it is a happening place for locals also

A lovely lodge in a shady, jungle-y setting near Arusha. The room was very comfortable and the bath was very nice with a bath and shower. The only reason for the 4 star was that our electricity in our room kept going out and it took quite a bit for them to correct it after 2 days. They were apologetic but it did affect our experience. I also found some of the wait staff to seem indifferent at times and did not have that experience in most places in Tanzania. Loved the colobus monkeys in the trees!

The Inn was amazing place to stay with the most beautiful rooms. We were woken up some mornings by monkeys playing on our roof. The children especially enjoyed the swimming pool and gift shop which had lovely items for sale and reasonably priced. The staff were all lovely and very welcoming. They were very attentive and polite. The bedrooms were very spacious and lots of storage space for clothing and other items. Rooms were spotless and attention to detail was lovely. Fresh cut flowers in the rooms. The spa was a hidden gem, so good we visited twice. Would definitely recommend a visit.

We had about four hours to kill before boarding our flight back home Itt was recommended that we stop here for a meal and two hang out. Gustavo in the restaurant took such great care of this. It felt like we were friends before our time was up. His big smile and family disposition added to the delicious food. The gift shop was less expensive than a lot of the other lodges and the ladies went above and beyond to pack the items I bought nicely. They were so friendly! The grounds and rooms look lovely!!

Fantastic experience. Great to relax after flight /safari and welcoming staff. Setting is tranquil and beautiful having swimming pool and outdoor restaurant. Nice walk along river and seeing hotel growing own vegetable/ herbs with honey bees etc. Accommodation was really nice and they offer range of services ie massages/cycle tours and great gift shop with local souvenirs. Was really nice to see three different types of monkeys in complex and other birds. Outside bar area with tv separate from dining area which has a great menu. Dining area has a tranquil feeling and great for relaxing meal The pizza is definitely worth ordering and cannot fault any of the meals we had from breakfast, lunch and dinner. Was impressive with breakfast spread ranging from fresh fruit, crepes, omelettes made to order and home baking etc . Staff are attentive and you see the fantastic work done by the gardeners, cleaners and waiting staff. Was best holiday experience ever for me…

Absolutely stunning and pieceful environment, lush and dense vegetation, at some secluded places almost feels like walking in a real rainforest. Impeccable quality everywhere, professional stuff, special thanks for Gustaff for helping us out with our special request.

Our introduction to our four week African Safari trip got off to a perfect start with our first night spent at Rivertrees. Even though we arrived late and left early the time we spent here was idealic. We were greeted with smiles and drinks and escorted to our luxurious Garden Room. It was a huge, tatsefully decorated room with an ensuite to match. The breakfast was plentiful and looking out at the gardens and spotting monkeys in the trees was our first wild animal experience, all very exciting. Would have happily spent longer in this accommodation.

We stayed 2 nights. The people are absolutely amazing. So nice and accommodating. The food was delicious. The Pizza was a must have. The grounds were very nice and it was cool seeing the monkeys playing in the trees. We did an Arusha tour for a couple hours(arranged at the front desk). We went to the culture center, Shanga, and market, I would highly recommend. Everything about the Rivertrees was wonderful!
