Description
Visit Best known for our work to protect elephants, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (Swt) operates the most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program in the world. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant and rhino orphanage inside the western end of Nairobi National Park, offers a wonderful opportunity to see the baby elephants being fed with milk from bottles and when they play with each other. The keepers will give you a lecture of each of them explaining their names and their life histories on how they were orphaned. It’s a great place to go and adopt a baby elephant. The trust was run for many years by Dame Daphne Sheldrick in memory of her husband David Sheldrick, the founding warden of Tsavo National Park. Dame Daphne died in 2018, but the hand-rearing methods and substitute elephant milk formula that she developed over many years of trial and error will outlive her and are now being replicated across Africa. 9:30am: Pick up from your Hotel for the Sheldrick elephant orphanage trip 10:15am: Arrive at the Daphne Sheldrick orphanage shelter 11:00am: Start of the Public viewing of the baby elephants at the Nairobi Elephant orphanage. After some ad hoc football games and mud baths, the elephants and their keepers come up to an informal rope barrier stretched along one side of the ‘playground’ from where you can easily take photos. Each keeper gives a short presentation to the visitors nearest to him, explaining how orphaned elephants need to be cared for. The youngest infants are assigned keepers for individual 24-hour guardianship, a responsibility that includes sleeping in their stables. Without the love of a surrogate family and plenty of stimulation, orphaned baby elephants fail to thrive: they can succumb to fatal infections when teething, and, even if they survive, can grow up disturbed and unhappy and badly prepared for reintroduction to the wild. 12:00pm: End of the public viewing and lecture on baby elephants. 12:15pm: Depart the Daphne Sheldrick elephant orphanage and head to the giraffe center.Includes
