What a nice hotel, away from the crowd. Is like a hotel in a garden. Well-manicured gardens in the compound. The interior was done with a colonial touch which gives it a special feel. Staff are well trained and prompt in their service. The rooms are very spacious and so comfortable.

We stayed at African Tulip for 2 nights while in Arusha where we were able to visit Arusha National Park (do not miss!) and then explore the community. This was a beautiful and peaceful hotel to return to each day. We loved the pool and poolside bar, the dining room food and staff were fantastic, and the rooms were HUGE with excellent air conditioning. We loved the huge jug of drinking water and the view of Mt. Meru we had from the 3rd floor. Highly recommend! Staff and facilities were top notch!

The hotel surroundings were beautiful, as was the garden where we enjoyed the bar next to the pool. The room was small and dark with no window that opened. Air con and a water dispenser( hot and cold) was nice. Restaurant was nice but the food only ok. All staff super friendly and nice.

We arrived at the African Tulip after a very long journey from the UK and this place was just what we needed! Quick check in & our room was ready so we went up to our beautifully African themed bedroom to sleep for a couple of hours then down for a lovely lunch and dip in the pool. The whole place was just breathtakingly beautiful! The staff were all next level kind & friendly. We had a lovely dinner and an early night, followed by a fab breakfast and off on our first safari drive. We would 100% recommend the African Tulip if your starting or finishing your safari in Arusha. We look forward to returning one, very soon I hope!

We had the beautiful roomy suite with balcony with a sofa and various flower plants. Bed and room were quite comfortable. The restaurant was well equipped and with nice decor. A good variety of food items were on offer. Service was excellent with the manager checking how things were! Going by the number of tourists from various parts of the world the African Tulip seems to be very popular. The greenery all around and inside the hotel is remarkable and refreshing! They really look after you well. The owner makes frequent trips inside to check on the guests! Will be more than happy to stay there once again!

Stayed for 2 nights prior to driving to Ngorongoro crater for safari. Rooms are clean & comfortable. Ate buffet style breakfast/ dinner and ala-carte for lunch. They do have chefs specializing in Indian cuisine and we definitely enjoyed some good Indian food during our stay. If you are a tea drinker then definitely try their Masala tea which is very good.

We were pleasantly welcomed at the African tulip hotel after landing in Tanzania. We were greeted with fresh juice and kind staff. The room was very clean and spacious with a shower and tub. The food was delicious and buffet style. There was lots of choices and you definitely did not go anywhere hungry. Drinks were fairly priced with lots to choose from, highly recommend the pina colada. The pool area was a nice touch for a hot day. Overall the service was great and I would recommend a stay here if you are traveling in/around Arusha.

The first hotel on our safari journey and it was perfect! Super clean, the staff are amazing!! The manager, Deepanshu was very kind and cared about your stay and making sure everything was good. Food was delicious, lots to choose from, and if anyone’s a picky eater they had plainer options too. We relaxed around the pool, it was so peaceful watching the little birds fly in and out of the trees. The place felt homely and welcoming, would recommend.
