Where in Africa shall we go?

A Tranquil Retreat Amidst Tanzania's Natural Splendor
Established in the 1920s as a coffee plantation, Gibb's Farm offers an exquisite blend of historic charm and modern luxury. Perched on the forested outer slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater, this idyllic retreat provides breathtaking views of the Great Rift Valley, making it an ideal base for exploring nearby natural wonders.

The property features 17 meticulously refurbished one-bedroom farm cottages, each uniquely designed to reflect elements of East African heritage. Guests can choose between twin queen or king-sized beds, all draped with soft mosquito nets. Each cottage boasts a private terrace, en-suite bathroom, and the indulgence of an outdoor shower, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the tranquil surroundings.

For families or groups traveling together, Gibb's Farm offers two spacious farm houses: Bustani House and Deutsches House. Each house comprises two en-suite bedrooms, indoor and outdoor showers, and a generous living area adorned with a harmonious mix of antiques and contemporary Tanzanian art. Bustani House provides sweeping views of the landscaped gardens and the Great Rift Valley, while Deutsches House, situated closer to the main farmhouse, is ideal for families with younger children.

Culinary experiences at Gibb's Farm are rooted in the "farm-to-table" philosophy, with meals prepared using fresh, organic produce harvested from the on-site gardens. Guests can savor their meals in the charming main farmhouse or opt for private dining experiences in various picturesque locations throughout the property. The farm's freshly roasted coffee, grown and processed on-site, offers a delightful start to each day.

A variety of activities are available to enrich guests' stays, including guided walks through the extensive gardens, visits to the nearby elephant caves, and interactions with the local community to gain insight into traditional Tanzanian life.
