Frequently Asked Questions

We're looking for a relaxing start or end to our safari in Tanzania. Is Rivertrees Country Inn the right place for that, and what makes it special?

Absolutely. Rivertrees Country Inn is our go-to for unwinding near Arusha. We love its tranquil setting amidst the coffee plantations and the gentle sounds of the forest. The lodge feels luxurious and timeless, and their spa treatments are simply divine after a long flight or dusty safari.

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see right at Rivertrees Country Inn, or is it purely a transit point?

While Rivertrees isn't a prime wildlife viewing destination like the Serengeti, we've often spotted colobus monkeys swinging through the trees and a variety of beautiful birds right on the property. It's a delightful bonus to the peace and quiet, offering a gentle introduction to Tanzania's natural beauty before you head to the parks.

We are planning a trip in the shoulder season. Is Rivertrees Country Inn a good option year-round, or are there specific times we should consider?

Rivertrees is charming throughout the year, but we particularly enjoy it during the drier months from June to October. The weather is pleasant for enjoying the gardens and the lodge's outdoor spaces. Even in the wetter periods, the lush greenery is beautiful, and the lodge's cozy interiors are incredibly inviting.

Considering Rivertrees is a luxury property, what's a realistic budget we should set aside for a one-night stay, excluding activities in the national parks?

For a luxury experience at Rivertrees, expect rates to be in the upper tier, typically starting from around $400-$600 per night for a double room, depending on the season and specific room. This usually includes a delicious breakfast, and we find the quality of service, the beautiful grounds, and the serene atmosphere well worth the investment for a comfortable start or end to your journey.

We've heard about the Duluti Arusha Forest nearby. Can we easily access it from Rivertrees, and what's the experience like?

Yes, the Duluti Arusha Forest is practically on Rivertrees' doorstep, and we highly recommend a guided walk there. It's a refreshing change of pace, offering a chance to explore a different ecosystem with guided trails. You'll experience the cool, shaded forest environment and learn about the local flora and fauna from knowledgeable guides.
