Car Rental Karatu: Hire a car in Karatu for self drive Safaris
Car Rental Karatu, Karatu Vehicle Rental. Rent 4×4 Land Cruisers for self-drive or with a driver-guide for an unparalleled wildlife safari with the Big Five in Serengeti National Park, Lake Manyara, or Tarangire National Park in Tanzania. Karatu, situated in northern Tanzania, is a lively town set within the stunning vistas of the Great Rift Valley. Karatu serves as a gateway to Africa’s most iconic safari sites, given its proximity to renowned sights like as Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Karatu is accessible throughout the year; however, since it is typically visited in conjunction with safaris in the nearby National Parks, it is advisable to visit during the dry season from June to October.
The unique geography of the Ngorongoro Crater facilitates year-round animal sightings; but, from June to October, the shorter vegetation enhances visibility for spotting wildlife.
This is true for Lake Manyara, however both parks exhibit a vibrant lushness during the wet season. Ngorongoro Crater can become somewhat congested during the dry season, making the wet season potentially more pleasant. Certain roads may become excessively muddy and hence impassable during the wet season; however, this should not detract from your overall safari experience.

Karatu is located in the Arusha District. The optimal access is via vehicle or bus from Arusha. The 150 kilometers on a good road will require little more than two hours. Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) serves as the international airport for Arusha, located approximately 45 minutes from the city.
An economical alternative is to utilize a bus or dala dala. The duration may extend to three hours, and the cost should range from 5000 to 7000 Tsh. These frequently become congested, and the low cost often compromises comfort. For safety reasons, it is often prudent to take a bus that arrives prior to nightfall.
If you are prepared to spend additional funds, a small aircraft to the Lake Manyara airstrip is also advisable. Coastal Aviation and Air Excel operate flights from Arusha to Manyara for approximately 100 US$, serving as a layover en route to the Serengeti. Be aware that this aircraft will likely depart from Arusha Airport, a minor local airport, instead of Kilimanjaro Airport, from where you may have come on an international flight. The distance from Manyara airfield to Karatu is around a 30-minute journey, accessible by taxi or by a transfer organized by us.
