Gibb’s Farm

Gibb’s Farm, one of the first guesthouses in Northern Tanzania, offers a serene escape with views of the Great Rift Valley and Ngorongoro Forest. Established as a coffee farm in the late 1920s and refurbished into a warm, rustic luxury inn, Gibb’s Farm is perfect for a safari respite or an extended vacation. The main farmhouse and 17 cottages exude historic charm, enhanced by modern amenities. Inside, guests are welcomed by the farmhouse’s original wooden beams and local African artwork. Outside, the farm’s organic vegetable and terraced flower gardens offer a peaceful setting for afternoon tea or a quiet walk.

Beyond the coffee fields, the Ngorongoro Forest and local village invite exploration. Guests can bicycle the back roads of Karatu, learn about Iraqw culture while visiting a local family, or explore waterfalls and elephant caves. Gibb’s Farm offers indigenous Maasai healing treatments in the privacy of your room. After a day of adventure, enjoy Chef Lisa Campbell’s organic cuisine, fresh from the farm’s gardens and bakery. With a deep community connection and sustainable practices, Gibb’s Farm provides an authentic East African experience, blending rich traditions, history, and harmony with nature.
