About
Gibbs Farm sits on the slopes of the Ngorongoro Highlands in the Arusha Region of Tanzania. It is a historic coffee farm that has become a lodge, and it is also known as Gibbs Farm Coffee Lodge. For visitors, it offers a quiet base in the highlands, with the working farm close at hand.
What to expect
The accommodation is made up of comfortable cottages. Each one is set among organic gardens and coffee plantations, so the landscape is part of the stay. Walking between the cottages, guests move through green, cultivated land rather than a formal hotel grounds.
Food and farm life
Dining at Gibbs Farm follows a farm-to-table approach, with meals built around produce grown on the property. The lodge also offers cultural experiences, which give guests a closer look at the life and traditions of the area around the farm.
Visitors who enjoy coffee may find the plantations especially interesting, as the farm's history is rooted in coffee growing. Those who prefer slow days may appreciate the gardens, the cottages and the open views over the highlands.
Is it right for you?
Gibbs Farm suits travellers looking for a restful stay in a rural setting, with good food and a connection to the land. It is a particular choice for anyone travelling to the Arusha Region and wanting to spend time on a historic working farm instead of in a town centre.
