Ngorongoro Crater
Gibb's Farm is situated on a working coffee plantation located on the forested slopes of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Ideally located, the farm lies half way between Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater. A couple of nights stay here imparts a sense of tranquility and well-being, and is a wonderful way to rejuvenate the senses while on safari in Tanzania.
Gibb's Farm offers a variety of activities, so whether you wish to relax and recharge, explore the diverse natural surroundings or learn more about the local culture and traditions, you have many experiences to choose from.
The main farmhouse features a charming living room, 2 dining rooms, outside verandahs, a gazebo and gift boutique. The bright, airy dining rooms are a delightful way to begin and end each day. The rustic style of the farmhouse has been replicated throughout, with exposed trusses, wooden ceilings, iron work and old stone fireplaces. Soaring glass windows frame the coffee fields and majestic distant views.
Throughout the day, the culinary team dishes up delectable cuisine. In the morning, fresh-roasted organic Arabica coffee and a bountiful breakfast offers a wonderful assortment of dishes to sustain you. Midday, a farmhouse buffet offers an array of hearty soups, breads, quiches and desserts. After the sun sets, enjoy expertly prepared, farm-to-table organic cuisine as you dine by candlelight.
17 guest cottages are richly appointed with eucalyptus floors, hand-crafted furniture, 2 queensize beds, indoor and outdoor showers, a fireplace and private verandah. Each cottage is beautifully decorated to depict a theme, with artwork commissioned through the farm's artist-in-residence programme.
Families can choose to stay in one of the two Farm Houses, which both have 2 bedrooms.
The farm's organic vegetable and terraced flower gardens provide a wonderful sanctuary for afternoon tea or a quiet walk.
