Ngorongoro Crater
Gibb's Farm
The stay
Founded in the 1920s as a coffee plantation, Gibb's Farm is a historic lodge on the outer slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater. It offers a sanctuary for the senses where guests can immerse themselves in the rhythms of the farm and enjoy traditional East African hospitality. The lodge features refurbished cottages and houses with classic charm, set amidst lush gardens and overlooking the Great Rift Valley.
Guests at Gibb's Farm experience a tranquil rhythm shaped by the working farm, where the scent of coffee and garden flowers drifts through the refurbished cottages. Each morning begins with the view across the Great Rift Valley from the private veranda, and the day unfolds with the option of an outdoor shower or quiet moments in the en-suite bathroom. The lodge's Wi-Fi remains discreetly available, allowing guests to balance connection with the slower pace of traditional East African hospitality.
A tailor-made safari in Ngorongoro Crater can begin from Gibb's Farm, where Full Board or Half Board arrangements free travellers to focus on game drives and crater visits. The Farm Cottages, Deutsches House or Bustani House provide a private base for early departures and reflective evenings, keeping the journey seamless between farm life and wildlife viewing.
