Ras Kutani Beach Lodge - Dar es Salaam
The tranquil Indian Ocean shores of Tanzania today epitomize the resources, culture and history along the coast in past centuries. Only the distant billowing of the scimitar-shaped sail of an Arab dhow, unchanged for millennia, will give the modern day visitor an indication of a past that witnessed the waves of traders, explorers, adventurers, pirates, slavers and invaders that came with the tides of time.
Alongside its long, colorful and sanguine history, the Tanzanian coast today offers its visiting guests that increasingly rare beach destination: long stretches of pristine deserted beaches, warm blue seas and an opportunity to experience peace and tranquility long since swamped by overcrowding in more publicized tropical resorts.
None more so than Ras Kutani, set on a crescent of white sandy beach, washed by the gentle surf of the temperate Indian Ocean. The resort is situated only 35 kilometers south of the port of Dar es Salaam but offers the perfect hideaway, far from the madding crowd.
