Rivertrees Country Inn is a small country estate set among lush natural gardens on the Usa River in Tanzania, halfway between Arusha and Kilimanjaro airports. A former coffee farm beneath the imposing summit of Mount Meru, Rivertrees retains the beautiful arbors once used to shade the coffee bushes from the strong African sun.
