Gibb’s Farm

Where each day flows with the gentle rhythms of farm life, and genuine hospitality is rooted in the rich traditions of East African culture.

Welcome to Gibb’s Farm, a historic lodge located on the outer slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater.

A Sense of Safari
Nestled on the outer slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater, Gibb’s Farm was founded in the 1920s as a coffee plantation. We embrace the traditional hospitality of East Africa, deeply connected to the land and our heritage here.

An ideal retreat for those exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park, and Lake Eyasi, Gibb’s Farm offers a peaceful escape. Relax with a cup of freshly roasted coffee while overlooking the Great Rift Valley amidst lush surroundings.

A Sense of Purpose
We invite guests to immerse themselves in the peaceful rhythms of farm life, fostering tranquility and well-being. Surrounded by the rich traditions of East African life, experience the timeless sense of history and community.

FARM COTTAGES
Gibb’s Farm offers a sense of well-being and tranquility in a cozy, rustic inn setting. Each of our seventeen 1-bedroom farm cottages tells its own story, reflecting Tanzanian culture and history through distinctive furnishings and art collections.

Known for our outdoor showers, the cottages feature a choice of twin queen or king-sized beds, all draped in soft mosquito nets. Recently refurbished, the cottages blend modern touches with classic charm, providing comfortable accommodations for solo travelers, couples, and families.

ROOMS

 

Each spacious house includes two en-suite bedrooms, complete with outdoor showers, and a private living area that blends antiques with contemporary Tanzanian art.

Our two farmhouses, Bustani and Deutsches, provide the ideal retreat for larger families or groups traveling together.

The gardens and private areas of both farmhouses allow guests to immerse themselves in the serene beauty of nature, accompanied by the soothing sounds of birdsong.
