The elephant orpanage located on the outskirts of Nairobi provides an invaluable service for orphaned Kenyan elephant calves. 

The orphanage was established in 1977 to honour the memory of David Sheldrick, the founder warden of Tsavo East National Park.

 Now run by his loving wife, the orphanage offers visitors a unique and very special opportunity to see baby elephants being cared for by their keepers. 

Hugely respected in Kenya, all funds raised by the entrance fees go to help rescued orphans from remote locations, care for them and eventually release them back into the wild.

David died 6 months later but his legacy of excellence and the systems he installed for the management of Tsavo and wildlife generally in Kenya, particularly in the sphere of wildlife husbandry and ethics, lives on.
