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

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. The hotel is an excellent safari base both initially as part of Arusha's gateway to the big game parks and after a grueling safari over bumpy, muddy roads and long road journeys. The... More

This hotel is apparently owned by Roy Safari's Ltd. and they do a great job of starting you off on your safari on a very nice foot. The room was beautiful and very spacious, the staff were helpful and welcoming and the entire vibe really sets the tone for starting off your safari on a note of feeling taken care-of.... More

I have stayed at the African Tulip four times and each time it has been a wonderful experience. Rooms are well appointed, comfortable, staff is pleasant and efficient, food was delicious. No doubt I would stay at African Tulip again and again and again!
