About
Rivertrees Country Inn is a boutique country inn in the Arusha Region of Tanzania, set on the banks of the Usa River. It suits travellers who want a quiet base close to nature rather than a busy city hotel.
The setting
The inn is built around its surroundings. Accommodation is in cottage-style rooms, and the grounds include beautiful gardens that make it easy to spend unhurried time outdoors. The river runs alongside the property, so the sound of water is part of the atmosphere.
Views of Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro add a strong sense of place. Both mountains are among the landmarks of northern Tanzania, and seeing them from the inn gives the stay a clear regional character.
What to expect
- Cottage-style rooms in a peaceful, country setting
- Gardens to walk through and sit in
- An organic farm on the property
- Views of Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro
The organic farm is a useful detail for visitors interested in how food is grown, and it connects the inn to the land it sits on.
Visiting the area
Rivertrees is in the Arusha Region, a base often used by travellers heading to the national parks and mountains of northern Tanzania. Because the inn is set apart from the town, it is best suited to guests who plan to rest, explore the grounds, and take in the views, and who are happy to arrange onward trips from there.
