SHELDRICKS WILDLIFE TRUST
SHELDRICKS WILDLIFE TRUST
Africa’s oldest wildlife charities and a leading conservation organization, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) embraces all measures that complement the conservation, preservation and protection of wildlife.
They are best known for our pioneering Orphans’ Project, a first-of-its-kind program to rescue, raise, and rewild orphaned elephants and rhinos.
A PERFECT COMPLIMENT TO YOUR ADVENTURE...
We signed up for the Elephant Feeding and Mudbath. There were quite a few people there, but able to spread out around the enclosure or on platforms. The keeps provide great explanations
If you want to see orphaned baby elephants and one lone orphaned zebra whose best friend is an orphaned black rhino, this is the place for you. Just know you will be laugh-crying the entire time. I’m so glad this place exists. They’re doing such incredibly important work with such care and love, it gives me hope for humanity. Truly a special place and Tytan will live in my heart forever.
Needless to say, the baby elephants are super-cute - running around after their milk bottles, then messing around in the water, mud and dirt. There's also a really informative presentation to listen to while you watch.
INCLUDE IN YOUR TOUR
Visiting Sheldrick Wildlife Trust offers tourists a rare and deeply rewarding opportunity to witness real wildlife conservation in action. Located in Nairobi, the Trust is world-renowned for rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned elephants and rhinos, allowing visitors to observe the elephants during their daily feeding and mud-bath sessions while learning their individual rescue stories.
Beyond the unforgettable close-up experience, a visit directly supports conservation efforts, anti-poaching initiatives, and the long-term reintroduction of wildlife back into the wild, making it both an emotional and meaningful attraction for anyone visiting Kenya.
