Rivertrees Country Inn is a charming, countryside lodge set on a historic former coffee estate along the lush banks of the Usa River at the foothills of Mount Meru, with distant views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
The property spreads over beautiful, shady gardens where individual cottages and rooms are nestled among tall trees and riverside greenery, creating a peaceful and relaxing environment. Guests enjoy a rustic yet comfortable stay with private verandas, garden views, mosquito-netted rooms, and cozy fireplaces in some cottages.
On-site dining features country-style cuisine made from garden-fresh ingredients, including wood-fired pizzas, locally grown coffee, and candle-lit dinners under the stars or by the fireplace.
There’s also a swimming pool, spa & wellness facilities, and plenty of space to unwind, birdwatch, or relax before/after a safari. The location makes it ideal as a quiet base for exploring Arusha National Park, Mt Meru, Lake Duluti, or safari departures from Arusha.
Good for: Couples, families, nature lovers, safari travellers, and anyone wanting a tranquil retreat with warm personalized service near Kilimanjaro.
