Gibb’s Farm
Timeless Beauty, Rooted in the Heart of Tanzania
Breathe Deep. Wander Freely. Savor the Stillness.

Nestled on the forested slopes of the Ngorongoro Highlands, Gibb’s Farm is a sanctuary of serenity, sustainability, and soul. Originally a colonial coffee estate, this storied retreat now blends gracious hospitality with an unwavering commitment to community and conservation—welcoming travelers into a space where nature nurtures and time gently slows.

A Place with a Past. A Stay with a Purpose.

Lovingly restored and set within lush gardens and working farmland, Gibb’s Farm invites guests to reconnect—with the land, with culture, and with themselves.

  • Private garden cottages with cozy fireplaces and plantation views

  • Handcrafted interiors inspired by local heritage and natural beauty

  • Spacious verandas ideal for writing, sketching, or simply being still

  • En-suite bathrooms with indoor/outdoor showers and soaking tubs

  • Perfect for couples, families, creatives, and seekers of peace

Garden-to-Table Living

Here, food is a celebration of the earth and the people who tend it. Every dish is made with fresh ingredients picked daily from our organic gardens, paired with warm hospitality and unforgettable views.

  • Seasonal menus inspired by Swahili and European traditions

  • Farm-fresh produce, dairy, coffee, and homemade baked goods

  • Open-air dining overlooking the Great Rift escarpment

  • Wine cellar, garden picnics, and afternoon tea rituals

Explore. Engage. Enrich.

More than a base for safari adventures, Gibb’s Farm is an experience in itself—offering moments of discovery, creativity, and connection.

  • Guided hikes to the Ngorongoro Forest and elephant caves

  • Cultural encounters with nearby Iraqw and Hadzabe communities

  • Wellness treatments with local botanicals at the farm spa

Great tour with amazing people We were able to see a variety of animals including the big 5! The tour guide and the chef were really kind and explained everything to us. Also the other tour participants were absolutely cool and we became good friends. Kilipath Afrocan Safari was always on time and responded quickly so totally recommended!! Would like to use them again.

Uforgetable safari 5/5 We had been communicating on Whatsapp from my home country. They prepared various options at my request and were very responsive and kind. After arriving in Arusha, they picked us up at our hotel and left us at Kilimanjaro Airport as per our request. The safari was amazing! The lodges exceeded expectations, and the food there was also nice. The tour guide was so kind and fun, making the experience truly enjoyable. We saw all the Big Five and many other animals! It was an unforgettable experience!

Words cannot explain how amazing this experience is Lovely/amazing/once in a life time/crazy/incredible… words cannot justify the experience that we have had with this tour, a gentleman called felix is who we booked our safari with and he picked us up personally from the airport and took us to our first hotel for the night in arush he was lovely and very kid hearted and hospitable, our driver was also very nice and very educated and alert to make sure we didn’t miss out on any of the amazing animals… and we saw lots, antelope/zebras/wild beasts/lions/rhinos/elephants/giraffes just to name a few… the camp site looked amazing however we had booked tented lodges before hand and regretted it incredibly when we had seen the camp sites but non the less the tented camps were also amazing, the food was incredible both on the safari and in the lodges and it was nice to have picnics with the group, I would 10000% advise you to book with these guys as just a recommendation is not enough, I hope to be back in the near future and will be booking with these guys again :)

Amazing Day To Climbing Mountain Kilimanjaro My husband and I reserved a one-day hike to Mandara Hut on Kilimanjaro with our guide, Mr. Joel. He picked us up from the hotel at 6 am and returned us by 8 pm. Mr. Joel ensured our comfort throughout the day, attending to all our needs during the hike. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a Kilimanjaro trek.

Kilimanjaro day hike materuni waterfall and hotspring "Thrilled with the Kilimanjaro private day hike to Materuni Waterfall and Hot Spring by Kilipath African Safaris! Seamless logistics, a personalized guide, and stunning landscapes made it a highlight of my Tanzanian journey. Materuni Waterfall and the soothing hot spring were an unbeatable combo. Highly recommend Kilipath African Safaris for an enriching blend of nature and culture in Kilimanjaro's heart!"
