SHELDRICK ELEPHANT ORPHANAGE

Explore Safari Destination
Overview

What makes this experience worth the stop.

The elephant orphanage is one of the most popular attractions in Nairobi and offers visitors a unique opportunity to see and learn about orphaned elephants that have been rescued and are being rehabilitated for eventual release back into the wild.: The DSWT(dead stock with tags) focuses on the rescue, rehabilitation, and eventual reintegration of orphaned elephants into the wild. The organization is committed to the conservation of wildlife, particularly elephants, and plays a crucial role in anti-poaching efforts.

The DSWT allows visitors to witness the feeding and playing activities of the baby elephants. There are specific visiting hours, usually in the mornings, when the public can observe the elephants and learn about their stories from knowledgeable keepers.

The DSWT has an adoption program where individuals can symbolically adopt an elephant and contribute to the care and rehabilitation efforts. Adoptive parents receive updates on their chosen elephant's progress and have the opportunity to visit.

Visiting the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust's Elephant Orphanage provides a unique and educational experience, allowing people to get up close and personal with these magnificent creatures while supporting important conservation initiatives.
