“Gibb’s Farm is the antithesis of the rushed safari. It is a historic, working organic farm that demands you slow down. We place our clients here before they descend into the Ngorongoro Crater because it offers a profound mental reset. The luxury here is found in the soil, the fresh-baked bread, and the absolute tranquility of the highlands.”
Established in the 1920s, Gibb’s Farm rests on the forested outside slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater. The property features beautifully appointed historic cottages, each uniquely decorated and boasting wraparound windows that invite the lush gardens inside.
The culinary experience is the beating heart of the farm. Almost everything on your plate is grown organically mere steps from the kitchen. It is an immersive, grounding retreat that prepares you for the wildness of the Serengeti.
