Gibb's Farm is a working Farm located on the forested slopes of the
Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It comprises a warm and friendly community
where the rhythm of Farm Life has calmed and restored the weary safari
journeyer for over 40 years.
View of Gibbs Farm Gibb’s Farm hugs nearly a
mile of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, part of a 3,200 square mile
reserve. Ideally located, the Farm lies half way between Lake Manyara
and the Ngorongoro Crater, near the village of Karatu. Set among formal
English gardens, the Farmhouse and 20 ensuite cottages are the heart of a
working farm. Built in 1929, the Farmhouse has hardly changed,
retaining the charm of a well looked-after private house. Cozy living
rooms and reading corners are just steps away from the dining room, bar
and gift shop.
Fireplaces fill the Farmhouse with warmth and historical
charm. Just outside, a sprawling verandah and floral garden invite
sweeping views of the valley below the Farm. Organic Coffee is grown,
processed and roasted on the Farm, and a vast 10-acre organic fruit and
vegetable garden provides 90% of the ingredients needed for fresh,
home-cooked meals. Gibb’s Farm provides a welcome stay on any safari,
and a base from which to enjoy the many activities available in the
foothills of the Ngorongoro Forest, The Ngorongoro Crater and Manyara
National Park. Even if your stay is short, find time for a gentle walk
or a tour of our gardens.
