David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Nairobi Overview
The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, located in Nairobi National Park, is a well-known nonprofit organisation that rescues and helps elephants, rhinos, and other animals in Kenya. They take care of orphaned baby elephants that have been hurt by poaching, drought, or conflicts with people. Visitors can watch these baby elephants being fed, cleaned, and playing in mud baths.
Famous for its Orphans' Project, the Trust is known for its successful program rescuing and rehabilitating elephants. These orphaned elephants spend their first few years in a nursery, cared for until they're ready to be released back into the wild at Tsavo East National Park. The Trust also allows people to adopt these elephants and has expanded its efforts to include shelter for rhinos and giraffes. Visitors can watch the elephants play and feed between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM, take photos, and buy souvenirs to support the Trust's conservation work.
