Rivertrees Country Inn

My husband and I spent 3 nights at Rivertrees outside Arusha, Tanzania before embarking on our safari with Thomson Safari Company. What a great introduction to Tanzania. We would like to commend the wait staff in the restaurant where we had three meals a day. The food and service were very good. Nelson, Deborah, and Emanuel, among others, were so attentive. We knew we would be traveling for over a week in Land Rovers and decided to imbibe the peacefulness and beauty of this large, lovely property before setting out for Tanzania's awesome national parks. Our large cottage on the River meant that we went to sleep and woke up to the sounds of rushing water. We looked for birds and monkeys on our walks along the river each day, enjoyed massages, and sat around the fire in the late afternoons to chat with other guests. As for the food, we especially liked the large and varied breakfast buffet and the ability to order from the menu at the same time with no limitations. We are not exactly "foodies" but you won't ever go hungry at Rivertrees.

We arrived late (1am) from the US and stayed through the next day and the following night, which worked out great. It allowed us to get acclimated before heading out on our safari. The grounds were lovely, especially enjoyed the blue monkeys and the river. The accommodations were wonderful - plenty of room and all of the amenities. Great hospitality and very good food. We also stayed just for the day on our return, which again worked out really well and was very reasonably priced. So glad our travel agent recommended starting and ending our trip this way.

We hosted our event at RiverTree, and it was a fantastic experience. The venue was stunning, with beautiful surroundings that added to the atmosphere. The staff were professional and attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The food was excellent, with a variety of options that satisfied all our guests. From the setup to the service, everything was top-notch. The facilities were perfect for both work and relaxation, offering a comfortable and productive environment. Highly recommend RiverTree for any event!

My husband and I spent three days at Rivertrees before our Safari with Thomson Safaris, one of the oldest and most established companies in Tanzania. The Inn is really lovely and even if all 80 people are staying here, the extensive and lush grounds with gorgeous trees and a fast-running river result in a serene atmosphere. The restaurant is also very good and the service excellent. We stayed in a large cottage on the river: so quiet other than the sounds of nature.
