Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

The tour starts by picking you from your Hotel/Home within Nairobi 9:30AM. We will drive you to David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust have a walk through the little center from 11am - 12pm in an open space, with a rope fence around it. The youngest elephants come trotting out of the bush to greet their keepers who stand at the ready with giant bottles of milk. For the next 10-15 minutes you can watch each little one slurp and gargle their milk. When they're done, there's water to play with and keepers to nudge and get hugs from. While you get to watch them play and take photos. You find out how old they were when they arrived at the orphanage, where they were rescued from, and what got them into trouble. The most common reasons for getting orphaned being: mother's poached, falling into wells, and human/wildlife conflict. Once the youngest are all fed, 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. It's very cute to watch them hold their giant milk bottles in their trunks and close their eyes with joy as they make quick work of several gallons of milk.

They wanted to charge us again because they said they didn’t work with this page, when they have charged us significantly more than the activity costs. A mess. There are 5 of us and in total we have spent 500 € on this activity.

Stephen was an excellent tour guide. He was very informative and even made sure that I had the best view for pictures at the orphanage. . Stephen took me to a nice place for the lunch break and my group really enjoyed it. view. The experience was one in million. It was nice to learn about the elephants and watch how they feed themselves.. I would definitely come back to Kenya and visit the orphanage.

Very great experience. Nice to see the young elephants are properly taken care of. One issue: I signed up on line for two for $300.00. But just coming the gate of Nairobi National Park, we were told that there is park entrance is to be paid in addition to our paid fee. That was disappointment. We should be told that when we are buying the ticket for this trip. Driver was very courteous, prompt and friendly.
