Elizabeth is also the owner and founder of an award-winning lodge/ rural retreat in the foothills of Mt Kenya. Olepangi Farm is the result of a deep-rooted desire of Elizabeth and her late husband Clinton Lucy, to turn an area of dry, unfertile land into a sustainable farm bordering the millions of wild acres that are famous in the Laikipia region of Kenya. Using only organic practices, Olepangi opened in 2014 with what is now an ever changing garden, highly productive 1.5-acre vegetable patch and a small but efficient dairy herd. Olepangi Farm is a Kenya Tourism Board “Magical Kenya Signature Experience” for 2021/22/23, a TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice Winner for multiple years and numerous Safari Awards.
Olepangi Farm is currently nominated for the World Tourism Award – Best Boutique Lodge in Kenya for 2024 and shortlisted for Conde Nast 2024 Readers’ Choice Award.
Olepangi Farm also hosts local, regional and international leadership retreats, including the six-day Modern Women’s Eldership Programme held at the farm once a year and run by Elizabeth focusing on “Living life in Crescendo, with all our greatest ambitions ahead of us.”
