Established in the early twenties as a coffee farm, Gibbs Farm has retained the charm of life in East Africa during the halcyon days. Nestling against the slopes of the Ngorongoro Eastern Highlands, this charming coffee plantation and farm makes an ideal start and end to your safari. Originally the home of the current owners, Gibb’s Farm has evolved into a charming lodge that has retained the atmosphere of a working farm and the mystique of an era. There is a nature walk to a waterfall where elephant and buffalo come to drink.

Gibbs Farm is conveniently situated between Arusha, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. The best way to appreciate the comfort of Gibbs Farm is to stay for several days when you may want to visit the Crater, Lake Manyara and places of local interest or just unwind in the enchanting surroundings. Lunch is a huge buffet with fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden.
