Gibb's Farm is an idyllic farmhouse with fresh, home-cooked meals, providing an unusual stop on any safari. Situated on a coffee farm 5km from the village of Karatu and midway between Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater, Gibb's Farm is a homey and warm colonial homestead that was once the heart of the surrounding coffee plantations. While coffee is still grown, processed and roasted on the farm, a vast 10-acre fruit and organic vegetable garden now provides nearly all the fruit and vegetables to the guests, who wake up to fresh coffee, a multitude of flowers and breathtaking views.

The 19 twin rooms with en-suite bathrooms at Gibb's Farm are set among the gardens while the main facilities consisting of a sitting room, dining room and gift shop are situated in the old farmhouse. Day visits can be arranged, including a gentle walk or tour of the plantation, followed by lunch.
