We stayed here 3 nights just after landing in Killimanjaro form Paris. We were looking for a hotel to stay where we could meet with locals, walk and also enjoy a safari in the crater before going to a migrational camp in Serengeti. This was the perfect place ! We love authentic places like this with so much history and all the food coming from there own garden. The managers were so nice and did everything so we could enjoy at maximum. We had amazing food, breads and deserts , congratulations to the amazing chefs. Also had a surprised dinner at a table by the fire outside ( it was our honeymoon). We had a lovely walk to garden and the water falls with Pascal who taught us about plants and vegetations around the lodge. The view is breathtaking from anywhere you are having a drink, lunch, diner or by the pool. Our room STAR, up from the garden was so lovely, we loved the decoration and peacefulness, and of course the amazing fire at nighttime was so romantic ! I had amazing massages and body scrub from the kind Juliana, she is the best :) you should definitely try it ! Thank you for everything !…

Booked through TrueAfrica during a Tanzanian safari tour. They insisted on including Gibbs to our itinerary and they were 100% right! Beautiful rooms, comfortable beds, impeccable service, good food. The setting of Gibbs farm is beautiful set in coffee fields. The farm is very interesting to visit. All food is produced locally. Great spa, great massage. Not perfectly located for a Ngorongoro Crater game drive, but definitely worth staying for a few nights!

Service 10/10 Food 15/10 (yes that great!) Rooms 8/10 (maybe could use some fresh paint, and some more light) Facilities (10/10) Essentially this is a boutique hotel, where you feel at home, staying with extended family. The staff go out of their way, always. We had a small issue with laundry, but the general manager Nick quickly came, apologised, no fuss and explained the situation as is. The main chef makes amazing food, his pasta is unbelievable! Only thing missing, I think would be to create an actual spa at the hotel for relaxing after safari, although the pool was fantastic !

We spent two non consecutive nights at Gibbs Farm during our recent Tanzanian safari. From the stunning grounds to the gracious staff to the delicious farm-to-table cuisine to the spacious accommodations to the bountiful complementary activities, this place is simply sublime. It is definitely worth the splurge and I cannot wait to return in the future!

Gibb's Farm was a perfect location for the last four nights of our honeymoon in Tanzania. It offered such a relaxing experience, and we were amazed by the property. When my husband and I walked into our cottage at Gibb's Farm, we both said that it was the most beautiful hotel room we have ever stayed in. The decor, outdoor shower, and porch - every feature added to the overall character of the place. The grounds were beautiful, and we loved touring the gardens and admiring all of the plants and flowers. The food is literally farm to table and was prepared and served with so much care. We loved every meal and especially enjoyed the coffee that they roast on site every day. The managers, Nick and Sally, were so welcoming and we had a great time with them. They did a fantastic job making sure our honeymoon was incredibly special. We enjoyed having Albert as our driver. He was so fun to work with and very personable. We had a great time with him searching for rhinos in the Ngorogoro Crater and were super grateful for his expertise when he spotted one in the distance. Our flight from Manyara to Dar Es Salaam at the end of the trip was modified by the airline company, and my husband and I are so grateful that Albert was able to drive us to a different airstrip and grateful that Nimrod and the staff at Gibb's were so helpful while we navigated the changes to our plans. We highly recommend Gibb's Farm!…
