Olepangi Farm: Set on the foothills of Mt Kenya, Olepangi Farm provides a beautiful, tranquil space for guests to reconnect with nature, with themselves, and with the special people in their lives. This is our home. Rural and remote: the perfect place to be right now.
Totalling 120 acres, the farm has astonishing views of Mt Kenya, the second-highest mountain in Africa at more than 17,000 feet. Owner-run and managed, guests, enjoy the tranquil gardens, joining the gardeners on their daily routine, playing croquet, relaxing by the pool, having a massage down on the river, milking the cows, riding the horses, joining a community walk with the legendary Mr. Kariuki, and thumb through the vast number of books collected over the years.
The beautifully appointed cottages are decorated with rich antique carpets and beds. Each one has a private bathroom is fitted with a shower and comes with beautiful organic soap, shampoo and conditioner handmade in Kenya.
With Lolldaigas, Ol Pejeta, Ngare Ndare, Samburu and Mt Kenya on the doorstep, the farm's location is perfect to explore the riches of the Laikipia bushland, forests, and bustling markets, leaving in the morning after a hearty breakfast and returning for a signature G&T by a roaring fire.
Olepangi provides a beautiful, tranquil space for our guests to reconnect with nature. The Olepangi community is one of warmth; an embrace into another world where the day-to-day busyness of life can be forgotten. We are a space for travellers to rest. We offer Farmstays in our accommodation facilities
