Despite arriving late at The African Tulip hotel, the Manager was there to meet and greet us and we enjoyed a delicious dinner after settling into our spacious, well appointed room. We found the staff very willing and friendly and it was a great introduction to Africa. The decor and ambience was in good taste, as evidenced in our photographs.... 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

Don't get me wrong, this is a nice hotel but nothing to rave about. The staff were accommodating, and the rooms lovely. We did find the menu to be quite limited, especially travelling with children. Yes we would stay here again, but wouldn't pay the current rate for the privilege.

We stayed at The African Tulip in order to recover from our pre safari flight and at the end of our safari prior to our return flight.
