Overview
What this trip is.
The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust runs a nursery for orphaned elephant calves on the edge of Nairobi National Park. Visiting hours are limited to a single daily window, when the calves come in to feed and the keepers explain each animal's history.
It is genuinely a working conservation operation rather than an attraction, and the visiting slot is short. We arrange the timing around it rather than the other way round.
Highlights
What you get out of it.
- Orphaned elephant calves at the daily feed
- Keepers explaining each animal's rescue and rehabilitation
- A working conservation operation, not a display
- Easy to combine with the Giraffe Centre or Karen Blixen Museum
