Nairobi Elephant Orphanage Tour
Daphyne Sheldrick Orphanage Excursion
Sample our Daphyne Sheldrick Orphanage Excursion and for an hour between the 11a.m to noon you interact with orphaned elephants. The youngest elephants come trotting out of the bush to greet their keepers who stand ready with giant bottles of milk. In addition the next 10-15 minutes you can watch each little one slurp and gargle their milk.
Shortly aftewards you’ll have time to watch the elephants play. Moreover you find out how old they were when they arrived at the orphanage, where they were rescued from, and what got them into trouble. Moreover the visit will begin when the orphaned elephants converge for their mid day milk feed.
Subsequently, you can watch them enjoy a playful frolic in the dust or if the mood suits them, a full mud bath. The elephant Keepers are on-hand to introduce you to each of the orphans and they share the unique rescue stories; explaining the threats facing elephants in Kenya.
Encounter Baby Elephants On A Tour In Nairobi
It should be noted that baby elephants get orphaned either due to poaching, accidents or human conflict. Once the youngest feed, they are led back into the bush, and it’s the turn of the 2-3 year olds. Some of them can feed themselves, and some are still fed by their keepers.
Not only can you watch them interact with their keepers or munch on some branches of their favorite acacias but also play with the half drums of water and mud.
The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is world-renowned for its work to rescue and rehabilite orphaned baby elephants. Our Elephant Nursery in Nairobi National Park is where an orphan’s journey begins — a journey that will culminate, years down the line, in their reintegration back into the wild.
