"Ras Kutani review"

3 nights Arrived 14 Jul 2013
"We went to Ras Kutani to chill out after wonderful but tiring game viewing. It does exactly what it promises - a luxurious, pampering quiet, beautiful place where there is swimming, beachcombing and the soothing sounds of the ocean. No discos, floorshows or piped music. Just monkeys chattering in the palm trees and the gentle sound of ice tinkling in the cocktail glasses." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania

"Ras Kutani review"

3 nights Arrived 10 Jul 2013
"Relaxing and beautiful spot and near to Dar Es Salaam. When we were there few guest and often had beach to ourself.

Food was excellent and again staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating to every need.

Compared to Zanzibar less activities to do but great place to just relax and recharge after safari. Less people than zanzibar so much more peaceful . Definitely visit again." See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania

"Ras Kutani review"

2 nights Arrived 3 Oct 2012
"We were only at Ras Kutani for two nights arriving at 18.00 one evening and leaving at 0600 a day later and therefore there were many aspects of the property that I am sure we did not experience. Ellie recommended Ras Kutani as an alternative to driving into Dar for the night before our morning flight left back to the UK. Instead of battling the Dar traffic you take a 10 minute flight out to Ras Kutani, where you are able to relax, sort yourselves out and prepare your flight home.

The staff did everything they possible could to make our short stay enjoyable. Mark, the manager, introduced himself to us on the evening of our arrival, and made sure that we had everything we needed for our stay. They are very used to people doing as we did, and using the property as a stop over prior to flying home and had the departure routine down to a fine art. Even though we had to leave at 0615 a full cooked breakfast was waiting for us at 0600, setting us up well for our long trip home. The food, staff and location were great.

Ellie's recommendation was perfect and suited us very well indeed." See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania

"Ras Kutani - very relaxing"

3 nights Arrived 18 Sep 2012
"We had 3 nights at Ras Kutani for relaxation following a safari in Ruaha and Selous.

Ras Kutani certainly lives up to its reputation as a great place to unwind and was a very welcome couple of days to recover from being bounced around in safari vehicles for upwards of 8 hours a day. The laid-back atmosphere was helped by the lodge being no more than half full while we were there - the staff seemed to try to place tables at dinner as far away from each other as possible, including "hiding" some by the swimming pool. Rooms are comfortable, food is excellent (especially the fish) and staff are friendly and efficient. The fastest anybody moved was when we reported a problem with our hot water which was repaired almost instantly.

The beach was very peaceful, although the sea in front of the lodge was quite rough even at low tide and rocky underfoot - however the pool had some good shaded areas and was usually deserted." See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania
