Questions about Gibb's Farm
Is Gibb's Farm still a working farm, or just a lodge?

Can we use Gibb's Farm as a base for more than the Ngorongoro Crater?
Yes. The lodge sits on the outer slopes of the crater and works well as a retreat while exploring Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara national parks, as well as Lake Eyasi. Many of our guests settle in for several nights here rather than moving lodges each day.
What is the spa like at Gibb's Farm?
