Ngorongoro Crater Lodge - Champagne luxury with exquisite views over the Crater. Fabulous blend of vernacular and colonial architecture and funishings. Gibbs Farm - located half way to the crater from Lake Manyara. This private farm and coffee plantation is now a lodge with 15 double cottages. There is a lovely garden and nature walk to a waterfall where elephant and buffalo come to drink.
Lunch is a huge buffet with fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden.
The old colonial farmhouse still has the character of a well looked after private house with roaring fires and friendly service. Food is delicious, simple fare, with vegetables from the farm, fresh and cooked with care. Home grown coffee with cakes is served in the mornings and afternoons.
