Discover hidden waterfalls and rare birdlife and enjoy a private swim in forest pools, then navigate the 500 metre elevated walkway high in the forest canopy.Samburu National Reserve One of the most stunning wildlife reserves in Kenya both in terms of landscape and quantity of large and small game viewing. A long, but highly satisfying day trip from the farm. It takes an easy two hours to get to the main gate.

Often referred to as the most beautiful ranch in Kenya.We regularly take multi-night horse-riding, walking and driving safaris in to the Lolldaigas. Please ask us about options if you're interested.Highly recommended.Community Walks with Mr Kariuki By far one of the most popular activities at Olepangi Farm is to go for a community walk with the Mr Kariuki, our neighbour, who can only be described as astonishing. His knowledge of the social history of the area is fascinating and his knowledge of world affairs humbles most of us. Go for an hour or an afternoon. Completely flexible. Many of our guests go out with him more than once.Horse Riding Riding is a major focus of the farm and guests can enjoy an outride in the surrounding community area (approximately 2 hours) or a longer ride for more advanced riders in the neighbouring conservancy amongst wildlife (approximately 3-4 hours depending on pace.) Riding lessons are also available, both for children and adults in an all-weather arena and on a selection of well-schooled ponies and horses. The farm also has a bush polo ground and polo lessons can be arranged for advanced riders.For the more adventurous, we do fabulous multi-day horse-riding safaris into the Lolldaigas. Please contact us about these trips.Mt Kenya - By Helicoptor What better way to see Mt Kenya . . . by helicopter. A truly jaw dropping experience. Early morning collection on our polo field and off you go.Ol Pejeta Conservancy The Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a 90,000-acre (360 km2) not-for-profit wildlife conservancy in Central Kenya's Laikipia County. It is situated on the equator west of Nanyuki, between the foothills of the Aberdares and Mount Kenya. The Ol Pejeta Conservancy works to conserve wildlife, provide a sanctuary for great apes and to generate income through wildlife tourism and complementary enterprises for re-investment in conservation and community development.The Conservancy boasts the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa, and in 2013 reached a population milestone of 100 black rhino. It also houses the two remaining northern white rhino in the world, who were moved here from Dvůr Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic. The Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary is situated here, and provides a haven for orphaned, abandoned and rescued chimpanzees. It is the only place in Kenya where these great apes can be seen. The Conservancy is host to the "Big five game" among a large selection of other African animals, which makes it a popular safari destination. It also operates a successful livestock program, which serves to benefit local pastoralists and wildlife.

They also support the provision of agriculture and livestock extension services and the development of community-based conservation tourism ventures.Climbing Mt Kenya Only 30 mins drive to the popular Sermon gate, why not use Olepangi Farm as your starting or finishing (or both!) base to climb Mt Kenya?

All played with an arena polo ball and always a lot of fun!Horse riding on Mt Kenya Horse rides on the slope of Mt Kenya . . . with every journey we wander amongst towering, heavily scented trees which cast a dappled light over the soft, green forest floor. We cross small streams and pass through pretty glades, where we occasionally see zebra, antelope and elephants. The grassy footing within parts of the forest lends itself to long trots and gentle uphill canters. There are also many fallen trees and logs to jump if you wish to add some more excitement to your ride.There are many different routes that we can take. We can go for a shorter ride of 3 to 4 hours within the Forest Reserve, or a longer trip of 5 to 6 hours up to the moorlands where, emerging from the forest we are immediately confronted by a breath-taking, panoramic view of the Mount Kenya peaks. There are two options:BASIC PICNICThis ride includes a classic picnic lunch consisting of homemade sandwiches and snacks, carried in saddlebags. During the course of the ride we find a pretty spot to rest, untack the horses and lay out our picnic blankets.LUXURY PICNICThis ride includes a delicious homemade lunch which you enjoy whilst seated at a table, in a beautiful secluded glade within the forest. Alcoholic refreshments are included in the price.
