At the entrance to the Highlands, midway between Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater, five kilometres from the village of Karatu, is Gibb’s Farm. Gibb’s Farm is an oasis of green, calm and beauty, in a landscape that can often be parched, dry and dusty.
The lodge offers 20 twin rooms with ensuite bathrooms set among the gardens. The main facilities, consisting of a sitting room, reading room, dining room (which serves fresh, home-cooked meals), bar and gift shop, are situated in the old farmhouse.
Coffee is grown, processed and roasted on the farm, and a ten-acre fruit and vegetable garden provides nearly all the fruit and vegetables for guests, who wake up to fresh coffee, a multitude of flowers and breathtaking views.
