"Gibb's Farm is beautiful!"
On the negative side, the road from the highway to Gibb's Farm is 20 mins of unpaved road. Maybe that is all there is in that part of Tanzania but its a lot of bumpy rides going in and out of the farm." See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania; 3n in Kenya
"Loved Gibb's Farm"
"2 nights at Gibbs Farm"
We had booked to stay at Gibbs Farm so that we could day-trip into the Ngorongoro Crater and this worked very well. There were plenty of activities advertised at the Farm including walks around the coffee plantations, but sadly we didn't have time for any of these." See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania
"Gibb's Farm review"
It was a complete contrast to the safari camps. Our cottage (room 2) was palatial with all the facilities.. The grounds and gardens were lovely and very well maintained.
The food was as you would expect very good making use of many of the home grown fruits and vegetables.
We can thoroughly recommend the laundry service.
We were lucky to have a very close encounter with a rhino during our visit to the Crater" See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar

"Gibb's Farm review"
"Beautiful setting"
The food was more than plentiful. While we had excellent service from the staff we did feel that there was a corporate feel rather than a personal service." See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania; 1n in Kenya
"Gibb's Farm review"
The setting is gorgeous, though the extra miles to travel wore on us in the end." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania; 4n in Rwanda; 1n in South Africa
"Not quite up to standard although still good"
A new manager had just taken over and will probably make changes in the near future. We wish him luck as it is a fabulous place." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania
