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.

Rivertrees was amazing. The staff was so kind and helpful. The room and property was beautiful. The breakfast and dinner were the best I had of all the hotels that I stayed at in Tanzania. Highly recommended.

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.
