HarPro-Tanzania held its management contract from 2005 - 2011.  HarPro tripled the rate, average length stay and established the lodge as an award-winning trophy property. 

There is additional room for rate growth again once the historic farmhouse renovation is complete. 

GIBB’S FARM

Located two and a half hours south west of Gibbs Farm.  The 10 year old Boundary Lodge is in joint venture with the local Lolkisale Village (pop. 4k from the Maasai tribe). The community owns 600,000 acres of land bordering the Tarangire National Park and has contributed 100 acres to the lodge and leases another 35,000 acres under development as a private game reserve.

BOUNDARY HILL

Perhaps what may be the best beach and dive location fronting an island Marine Park on the Indian Ocean African coast.  The old Mafia Island Resort will be closed and totally re-constructed.  We will launch the first Marine Safari in the market as well as anchor ‘extension tours’ for Tanzania, packaged with other HarPro African destinations.

The Harmony Project has operated in Tanzania for over seven years. We understand this market and have created an award winning destination with the HarPro model.  Gibb’s Farm will act as the primary property due to

its 40 year establishment and the developed African Living Spa.
