Daphne Shedrick Wildlife Trust

Daphne Sheldrick Animal Orphanage, located in a secluded area

of the Nairobi National Park, where orphaned baby elephants amongst

other animals are taken care of by a dedicated team of conservationists.

The orphanage is run by Daphne Sheldrick, the wife of the late famous

Naturalist, David William Sheldrick who was the founder Warden of

Tsavo East National Park in Kenya from its inception in 1948 to 1976.

At 1100 Hours, the baby animals are brought from the National Park for

a mud-bath at the orphanage, where for an hour you can get close to

them and sometimes touch them.

You may not feed the animals but will get a chance to view the

handlers feeding them. The Private Session strictly between 1500 Hours

to 1600 Hours each day allows you to see the animals in private and you

will be able to interact with them. This requires advance booking through

Travel Associates .

Sheldrick Baby Elephant Orphanage in Nairobi National Park drive takes

approximately 45 Minutes and is open one for only an hour daily for the public.

You can visit between 1100 Hours and 1200 Hours every day and see the elephants

being fed and playing. In addition, there is a keeper who will give a talk about the

elephants, where they came from, how they are getting on, and how some of the

previous orphans are progressing. You can get really close to the elephants.

The orphanage also takes in rhinos and so if you are lucky you will get the

chance to see a young rhino.
