'''Karatu''' is a city in Northeast Tanzania, East Africa.

Understand

Karatu is a dusty little town that lies on the gateway to Ngorongoro Crater. People here are accustomed to seeing tourists and many of the children will run up to a foreigner and ask for a pen. Learning the local greetings can get you far when it comes to being hassled. A simple ''saitaa'' will cause both shock and joy.

Get in

The cheapest and easiest way to get to Karatu is by Peugeot. You can find them at the main bus stand in Arusha. Prices are 6,000/= per person or 45,000/= per car. A car will hold 8-9 people and if you're paying per person it will not leave until full. It is normal to pay upfront so that the driver can buy gas.
