Gibbs Farm is an oasis of green, calm and beauty, in a landscape that can often be parched, dry and dusty midway between Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater.

Coffee is grown, processed and roasted on the farm and a vast ten-acre fruit and organic vegetable garden provides nearly all the fruit and vegetables to the guests, who wake up to fresh coffee, a multitude of flowers and breathtaking views.

The Lodge offers 20 twin rooms with en-suite bathrooms in cottages set among the gardens; two of the rooms are linked making them perfect for families. All the rooms retain the charm of their unique garden setting.

The Old Farmhouse consists of a sitting room, reading room, dining room, bar and gift shop. In cooler evenings, relax by the fireside, but most of the time you will want to be outside, enjoying the gardens, the view or the night sky. When you are ready, come in for dinner.

Highlights for guests staying at Gibb’s Farm are the guided Waterfall walks and elephant caves and for birders a personalised guided walk to identify over 200 species around the farm.
