Olepangi Farm is a 35 minute drive from Nanyuki which lies on the equator and in the foothills of Mt Kenya, the second largest mountain in Africa at more than 17,000 feet.
The farm is “on the edge” in the sense that it straddles that unique ecozone where most of the finest roses in the world are grown and supplied to markets of Europe, grown in the wild hinterland of Northern Kenya. On the farm's northern boundary are guesthouses which look out onto the stunning 36,000-acre Ole Naishu Ranch, a working cattle ranch full of wildlife. This ranch then in turns connects with millions of acres of bushland including Lolldaiga Hills, Borana, Ol Jogi, Mpala Ranch and so on and so forth.
The farm is the home of the Lucy Family, long-term residents of Kenya. All of the furniture in the lodge is from a personal collection accumulated over 30 years of travelling all over the world. In every room you will find indigenous textiles, quirky antique furniture, persian carpets and beautiful objects d’art.
Meals are served communally either on the breakfast deck hanging over the river, on the veranda or in the Party House. The impressive Party House is the main social hub of the farm and the family encourages people to come down and make themselves feel at home. Kick off your shoes and relax by the enormous open fire, pick a book out from the floor-to-ceiling book shelves or have a go at making a cocktail behind the 20' rosewood bar.
There are also plenty of quiet spots around the farm to enjoy. Have a walk down by the river and find a secluded bench, sit in the hanging swing so comfy you will find it hard to leave or enjoy the warmth of the sun on a sunbed with the sound of the gurgling river flowing past you.
Olepangi Farm is also home to the family safari business called GoWild Africa which provides horse-riding, walking and driving safaris into the Lolldaiga Hills Ranch. This ranch is considered by many to be the most beautiful ranch in Kenya, with stunning scenery and abundant wildlife . . . and best of all, very few tourists due to its historic isolation. GoWild Africa is helping to open up this magic land to guests.

Game drives in the Nairobi National Park
Your day in Nairobi Tented Camp starts with a freshly brewed hot drink bought to your tent before setting off for that famous safari tradition – an early morning game drive. Be lucky enough to catch the first rays of early morning sun as they burn off the nightly dusting of dew and stir the plains game gently to life.
After a morning filled with sightings of giraffe, buffalo, zebra, eland, impala and other antelopes, and an excellent chance of seeing rhino (both black rhino and white rhino are present in the park) as well as lion and if you very lucky, the elusive leopard, you return to camp for more warming cups of coffee, freshly baked breads and a hearty cooked breakfast.
All meals are carefully crafted to complement bush living without sacrificing on quality and you can relax after your three-course lunch in a swaying hammock under the shade of an olive tree.
When booked on our safari package you can substitute a game drive for a visit to the Elephant orphanage. (Must be Pre-booked and is subject to availability)
As the day cools and the sun starts its journey West it will be time for another game drive – a chance to catch that evasive moment where a lion might decide it’s time to hunt. Return to camp to drinks and stories around the campfire, before dinner under the vast African starlit sky and ultimately retire to bed.

The small and intimate Porini Giraffe Camp is in a forested area of Camphor bush (African Wild Sage) and Yellow Bark Acacia along the Ripole River in the Mara Ripoi Conservancy. This exclusive game-rich 13,500 acre wildlife conservancy is comprised of beautiful hills, forests and open plains and is home to a large abundance of wildlife including the big cats. The conservancy connects onto Siana conservancy and then directly to the Mara Reserve and so allowing free movement of wildlife from the Reserve as well as through a wildlife corridor along the Ripole River to Ol Kinyei Conservancy. Guests will also have access to the Mara Reserve and also Ol Kinyei Conservancy.
Mara Ripoi Conservancy is home to only 3 small camps (including Porini as a founding member) and no other tourist vehicles are allowed into the Conservancy, so our guests have the thousands of acres in the conservancy to themselves.

Guests can get closer to nature on educational bush walks with Maasai guides. A bush walking safari is an adventure packed activity where participants embark on relaxed, guided walks in a wildlife conservantion area with the objective of seeing wild animals in a more natural way without using vehicle. The walks are optional and take a maximum of 2 hours. You don’t have to be super fit, we can tailor the walk according to your abilities and fitness level. By joining us on a walk, you will get to notice all the little things available in nature, that you would normally just walk past.
These small details that are overlooked on game drives become more apparent from the slower pace and lower angle of being on foot. Think of the amazing engineering skills and cooperative work involved in the creation of a termite mound, for instance. Bird calls, tracks, insects, plants & geology. Everything takes on more significance and you gain a much deeper understanding of your environment. Bush walks take you to places inaccessible to vehicles, enabling you to experience and interact with your surroundings in a more rounded way. Whether it’s appreciating a particularly fabulous panorama, studying a up close or spending time learning how to shoot a bow and arrow or traditional Maasai spear, learn about the medicinal uses of plants, all these experiences are only possible on foot. You feel the bush rather than simply observe it!
You’re in the animals domain, experiencing the world on their terms. It’s exciting!

Ending your day on Safari with your favourite drink in hand, the company of friends or loved ones and a gorgeous sunset unfolding right before your eyes is a very special experience!
Enjoy your sundowners at a scenic spot in the Mara Ripoi Conservancy, with drinks and bitings and all the beautiful landscapes and wildlife of the Mara in the background. Your own slice of Paradise!

There is a somewhat almost primal joy about eating a meal in the raw wilderness of the African savannah, more so if the setting happens to be here, in the Maasai Mara where it is quite possible that your views are framed by stunning landscapes and magnificent wildlife. Though the meal itself is typically simple though satisfying, the often scenic setting in the wild makes this a truly memorable meal.

Our two Kajama Bandas are set further back in the property, tucked amongst lush doum palms for privacy and complete immersion into nature. They are a perfect blend of chilled and rustic, and a perfect option for families that want to place their kids in their own room. These bandas are casual and cozy, they are built on stilts for added breeze and only natural materials have been used. They offer everything the beach savvy traveler needs: a double bed with mosquito net, a verandah with two chairs and having been recently renovated, each room is now ensuite.
