Gibb's Farm is situated against the forested slopes of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and offers a warm and friendly place to experience farm life at its best. Ideal for taking a break from your African safari, Gibb's Farm retains its historic charm and provides a welcoming retreat on a working farm.
Visit the working coffee plantation, dairy farm, and piggery, and perhaps enjoy an interactive experience as you lend a hand in milking the cows, feeding the pigs or joining the farm's coffee roasters to experience traditional coffee roasting methods. Stroll through the old farmyard, the flower and vegetable garden, or head further out for a guided forest walk to discover a seasonal waterfall and mystical elephant caves. You can even enjoy a guided walk up to the rim of the renowned Ngorongoro Crater. Visit the variety of community projects and initiatives to learn more about rural living in Tanzania.
Highlights
Activities
Set on a lush coffee plantation this property offers something for everyone. From feeding bushbabies, mountain biking, gardening to baking for the kids. It is also just 20 minutes away from the crater gate so is the perfect location from which to explore the wonders of the crater.
Rooms
Cottage
The spacious and well-appointed Farm Cottages at Gibb's provide a tranquil retreat with all the modern amenities you might need for a comfortable stay. Enjoy the added touches of both an indoor and outdoor shower in the large en-suite bathroom, a private veranda with views of the farm gardens, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace in the cottage lounge to keep you toasty in the cooler evenings. The cottage can accommodate a small family in two queen beds and a third bed can be added for a fourth child.
Bustani House
There are two Farm Houses available at Gibb's: Bustani and Deutsches. Each of these spacious retreats features two en suite bedrooms, private living areas, and gardens. The farmhouses are perfect for families who want to enjoy private tranquility in the absolute beauty of nature.
Facilities
Built in 1929, the farmhouse still features most of its original architecture and layout and houses the dining area, living room, and library.
The living room still retains the same feel as it did in 1929, with a fireplace and many comfortable couches on which to lounge with a night-cap or a glass of wine.

Dining
The 10-acre organic fruit and vegetable garden provides 90 percent of the ingredients needed for the home-cooked, gastronomic delights that you'll enjoy at Gibb's Farm. In the morning, tuck into a full breakfast with everything from fresh fruit, granola, and bread, to pancakes, bacon, and eggs. Return to a farm-style buffet lunch with wood-oven bread (that you can help make), soup, savory meat and vegetable pies, quiche, and fresh salads as well as a wide selection of baked desserts. Dinner is a 4-course meal served to your table, featuring even more delicious, home-cooked meals.
