Art in the Paradise that is Kenya: Taking Applications Now
About This Opportunity
Olepangi is a soulful place, nestled in the foothills of Mt Kenya, 1 degree north of the equator in Kenya, East Africa. Bordering millions of acres of wildlife conservancies, Olepangi is a haven for quiet contemplation and creativity. The farm is also the site for an award-winning small lodge for those seeking shorter-term visits and cottages/ semi-permanent tents for longer-term stays, all creating a dynamic and intellectually stimulating community of people both from Kenya and all over the world. Olepangi is set on 90 acres, with more than two acres under organic cultivation for farm-to-table eating, 14 horses for riding out into the local community or on the neighbouring conservancy and quiet paths for walking and introspection. This is a special part of the world; perfect for connection and creativity. The farm is near to some of the more outstanding attractions in Kenya, including Samburu National Reserve, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, the Lolldaigas, climbs up Mt Kenya, Ngare Ndare Forest plus much more. Elephant, giraffe, zebra and other plains game are regularly sited from the farm across the valley.
