Start Planning My Trip
Karatu town itself is a workaday highland stop, but the farm country around it is one of the Northern Circuit's best-kept planning secrets. The hills outside town hold a cluster of charming farm lodges with pools, gardens, and food grown fresh on site, and staying here puts you minutes from the Ngorongoro Crater without paying the steep Conservation Area accommodation fees that crater-rim lodges carry. It also breaks the rhythm nicely: after days of safari lodges and tented camps, a farm stay means mountain biking, horseback riding, and walks like the Elephant Caves hike from Gibb's Farm. Most Northern Circuit safaris sleep here a night or two between Tarangire and the crater, and your trip planner will tell you honestly when the farm stay beats the rim view.
