An excellent lodge in Arusha. Accommodations were quite upscale and included A/C in the guest rooms. Very pretty. Pleasant bird sounds greet your morning. Very good buffet breakfast and for dinner, order from the menu, with great service. WiFi provided. Enjoyed this first-night-in-Tanzania stay.

This hotel is small and very well managed. Very good security. The kids loved the pool and the delicious drinks and snack to be had while relaxing by the pool. Food is very good, we enjoyed some delicious curries. The beds in the rooms were enormous! Very clean rooms, great service, thank you!

Great place to stay in Arusha. The hotel is excellent location, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, rooms were quiet and comfortable. Would definitely stay here. The pool is great although they could use some additional lounge chairs. Food is delicious and breakfast buffets plentiful.

Stunning stay. Amazing service. Clean and quiet. Food was great. The pool was the perfect relief after a hot car ride. The F and B manager is super helpful and kind. Wine was lovely - dinner buffet was delicious. And everything was so inexpensive! It’s just gorgeous. Highly recommend!

Great food, rooms and amazing workers. Honestly wasn’t sure what to expect for a hotel over here but it blew those expectations out of the water. The food options went way above and beyond any expectations and everything was fairly priced

The African Tulip was a very nice and comfortable stay! The food was really good, the staff was absolutely amazing and super helpful. They always took our bags up and down the stairs for us, opened the restaurant for us even after close, made great food and the service was very quick. The rooms were very cleanly and comfortable!

This hotel is absolutely lovely. Although it is central it is on a quiet street. The pool area is wonderful to relax in. Breakfast was delicious. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The bed was quite comfortable and room was large. The gift shop has a wide variety of quality items.
