Seems the little town of Karatu has set itself up as a perfect stop to and from Ngorogor/arusha. Octagon has great gardens and small but pleasant rooms along with the best food of the safari.

We only had two days to spend on safari, but we were offered a choice of intinerary and our trips to Lake... More
