We all cry in protest when an elephant is killed for its ivory, but how many of us remember the baby elephants left behind? Due to their family attachment, these orphaned baby elephants often cannot survive on their own. This is where the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust comes in. Today, the DavidSheldrick Wildlife Trust is known as the most successful orphan-elephant rescue and rehabilitation program in the world. The orphanage is open to the public one hour a day, from 11am-12pm. It is located within Nairobi National Park located off Magadi Road. Come see beautiful baby elephants up close and observe their human emotionality first hand. Charges: Kshs. 500 (also known as minimum contribution fee).
