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.
Response from Property: Dear Eileen, Thank you so much for your kind review and for choosing Rivertrees Country Inn during your safari journey. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of our grounds, the company of the colobus and black-faced velvet monkeys, and the variety of our meals. It's wonderful to know you found our gift shop well-stocked as well. We sincerely apologize for the slower service you experienced at the restaurant and bar. Please know that we take such feedback seriously, and we will address this with our team to ensure quicker service in the future. Your overall experience is important to us, and we are continuously striving to improve. We hope to welcome you back again soon and provide you with the experience that you deserve!

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.

My third visit to Rivertrees. I love this place for the traditional charm of Africa. Rooms are large, great showers, big beds. All staff are very friendly and helpful. The beautiful garden is well maintained with monkeys visiting. It is a great place to stay to start your safari.

I think Rivertrees achieved the goal of making you feel you are in touch with nature. The grounds are extensive and you can actually do a one Mile loop around the beautifully landscaped grounds and river banks. The food is great, and the service attentive and friendly. They let us eat ala carte when we were full and tired and did not want the full menu. We had pizza!!! It was wood fired and good. Instead of isolating tourists from the community, the resort welcomes local residents to the pool( paid access) and offer a movie night. Our room was massive with a shower and a bath.

My wife and I stayed at Rivertrees for two nights before our safari. This was our first adventure in Africa, and Rivertrees was the perfect place to get acclimated. The food and accommodations were great. We enjoyed exploring the grounds, taking a walk along the river, and watching the monkeys.

What a great place to stay. We arrived tired after a 13 hour flight from the UK. Welcomed with a cold drink and shown to our chalet room. Cool and with a great shower! Staff and food excellent. Meals and drinks good value and served in a lovely setting. Also stayed another night on return from our safaris 7 days later. Would recommend.

Rivertrees was the perfect spot to start our safari vacation! Our flight from the US arrived at 7am so we got to the hotel mid-morning. The jungle-like grounds are beautiful - tranquil and perfect after that long trip. We immediately found Colobus monkeys in the trees just outside of reception. Even though our rooms were not yet ready, there was plenty to do. We took a lovey walk along the river, relaxed and read by the nice pool and played darts at the cute bar. I know its weird but the wood-fired pizzas were delicious! Rooms were also very cute and comfortable.

Our group of 10 stayed one night at the Rivertrees at the beginning of our safari adventures around Africa, and it would have been nice to have another day to enjoy this wonderful hotel. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous with jungle like vegetation, there is a wonderful river walk that goes around the property, monkeys are everywhere, and the rooms were extremely nice. The staff was very friendly but the food was hit or miss - our lunch was very good, but there were issues with dinner for our party of 10 - very slow service, poorly cooked food, etc. but these were not terrible issues and would not stop us from returning. All in all, a great stay!

We stayed at Rivertrees prior to climbing Kilimanjaro, between the climb and our safari, and after Safari on return home. The property was excellent with a good restaurant and bar, and excellent staff. In particular, Miriam at the front desk was very helpful during all three of our short stays. Highly recommend Rivertrees.

We stayed at Rivertrees for a night before we headed out on safari and it was just perfect. It was the tranquil, peaceful, soft landing we wanted after a long journey. The staff, food, and property were 10/10 - from the beautiful and luxurious rooms to the fruitful grounds, it is an astounding experience. A highlight for us was the guided river walk - our guide Alan was SO sweet and knowledgeable and taught us so much about the land, plants, and vegetation. Cannot recommend this place enough!

I arrived late and left on my safari early next morning but it was a lovely experience. The property is so green and very peaceful, and the staff were all so friendly both at check-in and at breakfast. Even though it was a short stay I could feel why the property is well rated and recommended by our safari operator. Would love to come back.

Charming property with lovely staff. We felt very well taken care of from the moment we arrived. The room, restaurant and facilities are clean and well kept. A special shout out to Kelvin who works in the restaurant. He provided us with amazing service every time. He is kind, warm, entertaining and attentive. Emmanuel is also very friendly and attentive. On a side note, the grilled oyster mushroom appetizer is delicious and so worth having! 10/10 recommend giving it a try. We had a great stay!!

After a long flight this was the perfect haven of peace mixed with lots of monkey activity before our safari. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the rooms were beautiful, so comfortable with everything you could want. We had dinner here and it was a set menu due to another larger function, but the quality was outstanding. The next morning we woke early and enjoyed the antics of the resident monkeys along with a delicious breakfast I would highly recommend this beautiful lodge as a stopover before embarking on a safari
