Gibb’s Farm rests quietly on the outer slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater, a location that gives it both fertile soil and a timeless, grounded atmosphere. Established in the 1920s as a functioning coffee plantation, the property has held on to that heritage—traditional architecture, handcrafted details, and an unhurried way of life shaped by the land itself.
For travellers exploring Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park, or venturing toward the cultural landscapes around Lake Eyasi, Gibb’s Farm serves as a calm and restorative base. It feels like stepping into an older, steadier East Africa—one where days begin with birdsong and the aroma of freshly roasted coffee, and end beside a fireplace as the Rift Valley dusk settles.
From the gardens and terraces, the view stretches across the Great Rift Valley, a reminder of the region’s volcanic origins and ancient history. The setting is lush, green, and alive with birds, farm sounds, and the gentle rhythms of rural life.
