Independent Arumeru hotels

"Rivertrees is a quiet oasis nestled in a forest by a river. A very nice place to either begin or end a safari (we did both). Very nice staff."

"Fantastic stay! Every detail was thought through and taken care of. The rooftop view was stunning - we loved having breakfast there (and it was included). Highly recommend."

"Amazing experience overall. Honestly felt they were almost too helpful at times (not a complaint at all) just felt like a lazy person having people do everything for me haha"

"The best."

"Beautiful property. Would stay there again. "

"Very comfortable bed and pillows. Staff was fantastic - we were leaving before breakfast on our last day and they kindly packed us to go boxes. Highly recommend!"

"This is a great hotel right in the middle of Arusha. Good breakfast, spacious rooms and a big beautiful garden to wander through. Take advantage of happy hour in the Hatari Bar. A few notes: Arusha is a busy, noisy city and you're right in the middle of it. Don't expect rooms near the road to be quiet. Doesn't bother us as we live in a busy city, but might bother you if you're not used to it. The front desk will arrange a driver for you to take you wherever you need to go, but there are a few decent coffeeshops/restaurants you can walk to, as well."

"The views of Mt Meru and the surrounding bush country were magnificent. The grounds include banana, papaya, mango, pineapple and avocado plants/trees, all of which enhance the experience. The staff were extremely attentive and polite. All speak English. We loved the food so much my wife wanted to bring the chef home (joking of course, but high praise). The lodge staff were trained as part of a program to provide a good livelihood to local residents who otherwise would have limited opportunities. While the lodge is remote (not in Arusha city), it is close to Arusha National Park, and lodge staff will provide driving tours (for extra cost), which is well worth it."

"Beautiful property, great food service, friendly staff."
