With astonishing views of Mt Kenya, the second largest mountain in Africa at more than 17,000 feet and Olepangi is the perfect location for exploring Laikipia and all it has to offer.

Ride a horse, play croquet, walk in the community or venture out and explore the area's abundance of natural beauty and wild spaces. With easy access to the Lolldaigas, Ngare Ndare forest reserve and its blue pools, Samburu National Reserve, climbs on Mt Kenya or the sacred flat-topped Ololokwe, you'll be spoiled for choice.
