We arrived in Arusha to spend a couple nights before starting our safari. What a pleasant surprise after such a long flight (24 hours of air time). I had a short list of 4 or 5 hotels I was trying to decide on and finally chose the African Tulip. It could not have been a better choice. The hotel looks... More

The African Tulip Hotel is one of the nicest hotels in Arusha. The hotel staff is very kind and helpful. The wifi is excellent. I highly recommend this as the hotel to start a safari or just to enjoy while you're passing through.

Lovely welcome and very friendly staff. Lovely public areas and excellent WIFI speed. I slept very peacefully in the first room I stayed in however it had a toilet that couldn't flush and a shower head that sprayed all over the shower cubicle instead of on me. Housekeeping only came to check it when I returned to my room in... More

Our group of 26 stayed in the African Tulip for 6 days. Their entire staff did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. They went above and beyond expectations for our group. The rooms were large and clean. We also had several meals in the restaurant and enjoyed each of them. We would highly recommend this hotel if traveling to... More

The African tulip is a beautiful hotel, artfully decorated with great African art. The rooms are incredibly spacious and immaculate. The food in the main restaurant was absolutely delicious and the staff were very polite and professional. The hotel is surrounded by greenery, giving one the impression of being in a mini oasis. It is centrally located so one can... More

African Tulip is a little boutique hotel in the center of busy city of Arusha and a real gem. That's where we decided to spend our last night in Africa. We got to our big Zebra Room and immediately ordered cold Serengeti beer. Sat down in the bay window and toasted to our incredible trip to Tanzania. The African Tulip... More

This is a beautiful hotel with beautiful rooms and the food is excellent. We traveled with Roy Safari next door which is also a wonderful and... More

This place is clean, safe, and located right near the downtown area. The rooms are very comfortable and the staff are very friendly. And it's very near the Blue Heron Restaurant - you will want to eat there!

We stayed here before departing on safari. The accommodations and facility were immaculate. The service was efficient and friendly. They even mailed a package for us! Cuisine was first-class at the restaurant. An exceptional oasis in Tanzania.
