Nice and comfortable accommodation in the setting of a previous coffee plantation. Our garden room backs on the Usa River and there is a sitting area that one can sit and relax. The swimming room is just short walk from our room. Staff are friendly and nice. They offer turn down service and help to prep your bed net and spray the room to decrease mosquitoes in your room.

Rivertrees was a lovely start to our exploration of Tanzania. It is located in Arusha less than a ten minute drive from the town and the National Park gate. Our first ever game drive was organized by the hotel and was very productive and exciting. They also organized transport for us from the airport and to our next property. While the latter was expensive, the location was very challenging and that was not the fault of Rivertrees or their contracted drivers. This property is beautiful including a gift shop with unique items and a pool. All the activities you could want were available and convenient to its location. I would absolutely stay here again when returning to Arusha.

Great introduction to Tanzania
The perfect introduction to Tanzania - 30 minutes from Kilimanjaro airport. Spread over ten acres under towering trees and a creek side setting, the individual cottages were well appointed and very private. The freshly baked pizza and varied menu were delicious

Great property nestled conveniently between the Airport and Arusha. This is my “go to” place when I want to get away and unwind. The staff, dinning, and amenities makes this Lodge a true home away from home.
