The welcome was wonderful. Sr. Noella and all the sisters greeted us with warm smiles, and they were kind and courteous hosts. Johnson at reception was very accommodating with our request to chill our camping food. The entire area was tranquil, and literally a stones throw from the Ngorongoro gate.

Guest review
Amazing experience at Turaco during our honeymoon! We travel quite a lot and can in good conscience say that this was one of our best hotel experiences. Daniel, the hotel manager, is the definition of hospitality. He made us feel so extremely welcome that we came back for another night after spending four days in the Serengeti. All the other staff members were also great, very kind and respectful. Special thanks to Kelvin, who was our safari guide for one day and went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. The rooms are very spacious, nicely decorated, and spotlessly clean. It's also great to have a chimney in the room, as nights can get quite chilly during winter. The park area is also beautifully maintained. The food was delicious, with different four-course meals to choose from every evening. Additionally, for our game drives, they prepared great lunchboxes for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our Ngorongoro Crater game drives. It truly felt like a home away from home.

We had a fantastic experience at this beautiful Farm Lodge. The hosts were incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The vegetarian dinner was outstanding – one of the best we’ve ever had! Breakfast was also delicious and offered a great variety. The rooms were lovely, clean, and comfortable. Overall, it was a perfect stay.

Karatu Sarina is a n one night stay was not in our reginal schedule. But wonderful staff. specially the head chef well deserves a pay raise. We notice the dinner & lunch he had his own touch of cooking food for guests. We are a group of 4 two ashian and two American and we all enjoyed the food.

Karatu is a good base for Safaris and smaller excursions.

Karatu is a good base for Safaris and smaller excursions. The village itself hasn't much to offer (or at least the eastern side). There is a KFC though; Karatu Fried Chicken, which has very delicious chicken. A little further to the east is Mto Wa Mbu. It has quite a lot more cultural things to offer for tourists.

Karatu offers resorts and staycations through a range of properties. Make sure they are at least 2Kms or more from town, as the town area is too dusty especially during dry season. Only the Main Road is of bitumen, most of the side roads are muddy and kicks up too much brown dust.
