Rivertrees Country Inn, Tanzania

Rivertrees is a former coffee plantation, converted into a serene B&B nestled in the foothills of Mount Meru, away from the bustling safari circuit around Arusha and Kilimanjaro. Like its tranquil namesake, it offers an oasis of unassuming natural beauty, providing travellers with a timeless pause and a genuine sense of home away from home amidst its idyllic surroundings.

As Rivertrees evolved, each cottage received meticulous attention, ensuring unique craftsmanship and personalized design. By leveraging the natural features of the river surroundings, such as secluded bends and lush clearings, the inn guarantees that each of its rooms, whether in the River House, River Cottage, Farm House, or garden rooms, offers a secluded and serene atmosphere.

The restaurant overlooks lush green lawns with a menu of delicious country cuisine using garden-fresh ingredients and old family recipes. Winding pathways lead to a refreshing swimming pool and a massage hut for relaxation seekers. Rivertrees also serves as a starting point for various adventures. Whether for a short or extended stay, there's ample opportunity for activities or simply unwinding.
