RIVER TREES COUNTRY INN
Set in Northern Tanzania just outside the bustling safari town of Arusha, Rivertrees looks out toward Mt Kilimanjaro, and is perfectly situated for exploring the abundant nature reserves that this region is home to.
The inn is a charming country estate that was once an old coffee farm, and still retains the nostalgic air of a well-loved homestead. Sprawling ten acres of fertile greenery, the grounds are a natural extension of Mt Meru’s sloping foothills, and offer a sanctuary for the birds and wildlife indigenous to the area.
Elegantly rustic cottages are dotted along the river and in thickets of tall trees, while lush lawns and birdsong make for a peaceful and picturesque setting. Set in the heart of an area rich in nature reserves, montane forests and vibrant village culture, the scope for exploration is endless.
The restaurant concocts tasty meals of garden-fresh ingredients and old family recipes, as well as oven-fired pizzas and the best of the region’s locally grown coffees. Delicious candle-lit dinners are served by the warmth of the fireplace, or under the stars and the watchful eyes of resident owls.
Rivertrees combines unpretentious comfort with subtle accents of style to create a timeless pause in a traveler’s journey, and a sense of warmth and genuine welcome.
DINING
In keeping with the nature of the place, Rivertrees’ restaurant specialises in gourmet country cuisine, and many of the ingredients are picked fresh from its gardens. The recipes are based on tried-and-true old family favourites, and the pizzas turned out of the wood-burning oven are understandably popular among regulars.
What adds an extra element to mealtimes is the stunning settings to choose from: out in the gardens under tall shady trees, overlooking the waters winding beneath the river deck, by the warm fireside indoors, or even in the beautifully atmospheric old Farm House.
Complimentary Wi-Fi and the best of the region’s locally grown coffee make it the perfect place to catch up with the world, or to sit back with a book and enjoy the peace and quiet in the dappled sunshine.
A popular meeting place for nearby residents, the restaurant and bar are open all day, and make for the perfect stopover en route to or from Kilimanjaro International Airport, be it for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
AVAILABLE ACTIVITIES
The outdoor massage banda welcomes in the sighing sound of the river, soothing the senses as a talented therapist eases away the weariness of a long journey. Sweet-smelling flowers and the breeze through the gauzy mosquito netting encourage you to give over to the healing natural ambience innate to its setting.
Round off the experience with a deep soak among rose petals in a custom-made tub, and return to the world completely refreshed and rejuvenated, and ready for the adventures ahead.
