Ras Kutani Trips & Tours

Visit Tanzania’s jungle-clad southern shoreline for chilled-out days overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Often overlooked in favour of its glitzy big sister, Zanzibar, the southern coastline of Tanzania is, we think, really rather lovely too. As well as picture-perfect hammock lounging beaches and the gin-clear waters of the Indian Ocean, Ras Katani has a fascinating blend of cultures and cuisine, and the drive from Dar reveals romantic Swahili architecture, colourful markets and delicious aromas. The absence of a main road down the rugged, jungle-clad shore has so far prevented much development and an influx of tourists – a blessing in disguise really, as this is secluded beach luxury just as it should be.
