RasKiroko,
"The Bean", Self catering beach villa, South coast Dar
es Salaam
Ras Kiroko is a 3 bedroom self-catering private
house located 30 km from Dar es Salaam on the south coast. Hidden
in the lush indigenous bush, on top of a magnificent cliff, with
stunning sea views is "The Bean".
The house has 3 large bedrooms (sleeps 4, 2 and 2), are all en suite,
one with bath and shower, the other two with showers only. Eight
people sleep very comfortably.
The Bean has a fridge, freezer, deep freezer, gas cooker/oven, toaster,
microwave, kettle, and 2 barbeques outside. One gas and one charcoal/wood
(supplied).
The kitchen is equipped with crockery, glasses, cutlery, pots and
pans, all linen and bath towels. Please bring your own beach towels
and torches if you like night walks. The house can be booked on
a self catering basis or Authentic Tanzania can provide a cook for
fully catered service.
The big open-planned kitchen/dining/lounge area makes it the ideal
place for a social atmosphere. The large shady verandah with a hammock
is the perfect place to have an afternoon nap. A path through the
indigenous vegetation takes you down to your own private white sandy
beach where you can swim, fish or walk for kilometers undisturbed...
or you can just be lazy and do nothing in total privacy!! The Bean
is fully equipped for family and children.
Ask us if any turtles are ready to hatch as the Green Turtle regularly
lay their eggs on the beaches in this area. Humpback whales travel
close inshore between the months of May to October. Bring your binoculars
bird watches as you are virtually guaranteed to see fish eagles
and palmnut vultures fly right past your nose. Many other birds
inhabit the local bushlands.
Full moons are a special treat as the moon rises directly in front
of The Bean. New moon is just as amazing as all the stars are very
clear with no lights nearby to take away their brilliance. Two outdoor
mattresses are provided to lay on and look up to the heavens.
Foot paths are maintained through the thick indigenous bush for
those who enjoy nature walks. Wildlife abounds and you will definitely
meet the troop of sykes monkeys who live very close by. One kilometer
away is another large plot of land that also belongs to Ras Kiroko
with a magnificent walk through a forested river valley. There is
even a troop of black and white colobus monkeys. You are welcome
to bring mountain bikes as the area is perfect for this sport. The
Horse Club is close by with over 35 horses to choose from. Galloping
along the beaches is an unforgettable experience.
Ras Kiroko has a large orchard and when the tropical fruits are
in season you are invited to pick from the trees. When the chickens
have been laying well you will be provided with complimentary fresh
eggs.
A grassed airstrip is right behind the property and with prior arrangements
can be used by guests.
