Gibb’s Farm

Located on the outer slopes of Ngorongoro crater, this lodge shares an indelible sense of being in a community. The major highlight of this property is its beautiful organic farms, dairy and bakery. You may rest in your veranda taking in your peaceful surroundings as you catch hold of freshly roasted coffee beans, explore the lesser taken roads of Karatu or take a walk through the Ngorongoro forest.

The lodge is just 30 minutes from Lodoare gate. It has a convenient location as it is near the safari parks in the northern circuit (Ngorongoro and Serengeti). One can also visit places such as Lake Eyasi, Tarangire and Manyara as it falls on the main safari route from Arusha.

Farm cottages have twin queen beds or a king-sized bed. Farm houses can either accommodate 4 adults OR 2 adults and 4 children.

• Farm cottages There are 17 well furnished cottages. These are one room cottages with clean, comforable king-size beds or twin queen beds with a private terrace, living room, en-suite bathroom facilities with an outdoor shower.

• Farm Houses There are two 2-bedroom farm houses named Deutsches and Bustani. These houses easily accommodate families as well as friends. Bustani is located in the back of the farm and has a king-size bed in one room interconnected by a lounge area with twin queen beds in the other room. They have wooden finishings with en-suite facilities such as an indoor, outdoor shower, and a bath. In addition, there is a private veranda that lets you relax and enjoy the surroundings. Deutsches has a private veranda with beautiful views, en-suite facilities such as an indoor and outdoor shower, bedrooms with one king-sized bed and twin queen beds, and a fireplace in the living area.

The farm offers amazing views of the organic cultivation, coffee plantations and the Rift valley beyond. Farm cottages offer immersive views of the farm. The private balconies offer valley/garden views. To mention a few, Ngorongoro cottage faces Ngorongoro Conservation Area which is just 40 ft away while the Mulberry cottage is surrounded by Mulberry trees all around. Bustani offers beautiful views of the gardens as well as the Rift valley at a distance. Deutsches sits near the main farm house and lets you enjoy the chirping of birds while sipping a cup of coffee.

Moderate - You are still in the wilderness but the amount of wildlife around the camp is not quite high and you might not get to hear them through the night on all days.

The food has been rated well by most clients. It is prepared using farm fresh ingredients which are both healthy and delicious.
