Overview
Gibb’s Farm is a historic luxury lodge located on the outer slopes of the Ngorongoro Highlands near Karatu, Tanzania. Established in the 1920s as a coffee plantation, the property has evolved into a tranquil retreat surrounded by lush gardens, working coffee fields, and forested landscapes.
The farm spans over 80 acres and offers an authentic farm-to-table experience, combining warm hospitality with sustainable farming practices. Ideally situated between Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, Gibb’s Farm provides an excellent base for exploring Tanzania’s Northern Safari Circuit.
