Would give it more than 5 stars if we could ... The first thing that makes us give great review to African Tulip, is the people working there. the GM, Anuj Sharma is a phenomenal guy and provides great importance to customers coming into the hotel. We were in the hotel twice - once before we started our serengeti safari... More

One of the finest hotels i have stayed. Though the hotel is small it is very neat and clean, excellent service. Rooms are really big and lot of ventilation. Never imagined that, i could get a good indian cuisine in Tanzania and their restaurant serves excellent Indian and Italian cusine. Definitely would recommend for others as well.

The staff were friendly and helpful with the Manager checking with us each day at least once if we were happy. We had lunch by the pool one day which was very pleasant.

For those coming off of a long trip, like we did, you will appreciate the comfort and coziness and warm hospitality of the Tulip. The rooms were clean, spacious and well decorated, and there was a small pool to relax at as well. We stayed here as part of our Roy Safari tour, which made things very convenient -- we... More

Currently residing in Arusha, this was our choose for an overnight away at the star of a holiday weekend. Checked in around 2.30, all smooth and efficient with a cold passion fruit juice as a welcome drink. Room nicely appointed, everything you'd expect and good quality bathroom products. The pool area is lovely, small but there are rarely many there.... More

This hotel is about 55 minutes drive from the Kilimanjaro airport and before you get into the downtown traffic of Arusha. It is a perfect place to stay to start a safari trip in the region because its decor reminds me of old Africa, yet it has all the amenities. The staff is exceptional, the rooms large, good security, a... More
