Northern Tanzania
With a genteel old-world ambience and excellent cuisine served family style around a large wooden table, Rivertrees is a perfect post-national-park stop. A variety of rooms and cottages, some wheelchair accessible, are spread throughout vast natural gardens with huge trees along the Usa River. It’s east of Usa River Village, set back off the Moshi Hwy.
Meals are superb, as are the cultural tours (to local villages and coffee farms) and spa treatments.
