Hotels near Viewpoint Mt Kilimanjaro, Arusha

Quiet, friendly and personalised service

Great place to stay before and/or after Meru climb.

The property is amazing and very well maintained, with a charming rustic vibe. It's the perfect place to connect with nature. We truly enjoyed every moment! The kitchen is fully equipped with all necessary appliances, and towels and linens are provided. Our hosts were incredibly welcoming, always available with prompt and helpful assistance. They recommended great restaurants and offered guidance for booking various activities. Upon our arrival, the host kindly offered us fresh eggs from his chickens, and we made a delicious omelet! It was a thoughtful gesture, especially since we arrived late and didn’t have the energy to go out for dinner. We also appreciated the flexibility of late check-in and early check-out—thank you! A heads-up for future guests: the road leading to the property is quite bumpy, so an SUV is highly recommended. We rented a reliable car from our host, which we used for getting around town. Asante sana!

The inn is tucked away in a peaceful spot but still conveniently close to Arusha and Kilimanjaro Airport. We utilised the Airport Shuttle service which made the transfer seamless. It’s was the ideal place to rest before heading out on safari. The gardens are amazing with their towering trees and flowing river, we managed to see monkeys just a short walk from our room. What really made a difference was the genuine hospitality of the staff. From the moment we arrived, I felt so warmly welcomed. The team goes above and beyond to make sure every guest feels at home, and they were always there to help with any requests. Our rooms were cozy and decorated with this colonial rustic charm but still has all the modern conveniences you need. We stayed in the Farm House made of up 4 self contained rooms, and waking up to the sounds of birds and the sight of lush greenery outside my window was incredibly peaceful. The food is freshly prepared and includes local dishes bursting with flavor. River Trees Country Inn was exactly what we needed to relax and recharge before our Tanzanian adventures, this place offers a beautiful, authentic experience that we'll always remember.
