History:

Gibb's Farm has a fascinating history that dates back to the late 1920s. It was originally established as a coffee plantation by German settlers who recognized the rich volcanic soils and favorable climate of the Karatu region in northern Tanzania. The farm was named after its founder, German farmer James Gibb.

In the years that followed, the farm changed hands several times, passing from German to British ownership. It continued to thrive as a coffee estate, producing high-quality Arabica coffee beans. During World War II, the farm became part of the war effort and played a crucial role in the production of coffee for the troops. After the war, the farm returned to civilian ownership and continued its coffee production.

In the 1970s, the Tanzanian government initiated land reforms, leading to the division of large estates. Gibb's Farm was transformed into a lodge, preserving its rich agricultural heritage while opening its doors to tourists seeking a unique and luxurious experience in the heart of Tanzania's natural wonders.

Under its new identity as a lodge, Gibb's Farm underwent significant development and expansion, embracing eco-tourism and sustainable practices. It became a haven for travelers seeking not only comfortable accommodations but also a chance to immerse themselves in the local culture, explore the surrounding wildlife, and indulge in the farm-to-table culinary delights grown right on the estate.
