African Tulip

We stayed here arriving from Ariana before heading to safari. An excellent Choice . Rooms are spacious and clean, beds comfortable. Small pool but nice to cool off, in the mids of well maintained small lush garden .But most importantly the staff is very friendly !

Beautiful hotel and very comfortable - a great place to start out your safari or Kilimanjaro climb and to return to afterward. Spotlessly clean and beds were very comfortable. Also, their online representative, Benjamin, was super helpful, very friendly and provided great advice.

The stay at the African Tulip was welcoming and relaxing. Susan made sure we had everything that we needed. I especially enjoyed walking some of the hotel to look for birds. The staff were also very welcoming. Would stay again!

Tulip was the perfect starting and ending point of our Safari! They were truly accommodating, explained what to expect whilst on Safari, Great little shop and restaurant to enjoy all our meals. Wonderful outdoor setting with a pool and bar to relax, read, swim or enjoy friends and family Thank you Tulip Staff. You were awesome!

The African tulip was our first stop after flying in to JRO for our safari. Great interiors, very well decorated, super clean & safe. The room we stayed was very very cozy and good size. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The lounge & dinner area is really nice. Food was excellent! Very well managed gem in Arusha. We spent a day on our return flight as well and experienced the same level of service.

We had the pleasure of staying at the African Tulip both before and after our six-day safari in the Serengeti—a wonderful bookend to an unforgettable adventure. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality. The hotel is lovely—elegant yet relaxed with charming decor that immediately makes you feel at home in Africa. The rooms are spacious, clean, and thoughtfully furnished, providing the ideal environment to unwind after a long journey or a day of travel. What really sets the African Tulip apart is the exceptional service. Every member of the staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. They were always attentive, courteous, and eager to help with anything we needed. A special mention must also go to Susan, the owner, whose warmth and graciousness infuse the entire atmosphere of the hotel. We highly recommend it and would absolutely return! Thank you to Susan and the entire team for making our trip to Tanzania so special.
