This One Day tour to David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Departs daily from 09h00

Daphne & David Sheldrick Animal Orphanage is located in a secluded area of the Nairobi National Park where orphaned baby elephants, rhinos amongst other animals are taken care of by a dedicated team of conservationists.

The orphanage is run by Daphne Sheldrick, the wife of the late famous Naturalist David William Sheldrick who was the founder Warden of Tsavo East National Park in Kenya from its inception in 1948 to 1976.

At 1100 Hours, the baby animals are brought from the National Park for a mud-bath at the orphanage, where for an hour you can get close to them and sometimes even touch them.

You may not feed the animals but will get a chance to view the handlers feeding them. There is a private session which strictly is between 15h00 to 16h00 each day allowing you to see the animals in private and you will be able to interact with them. This requires advance booking through Crocodile Racers Adventures & Safaris. The private viewing session rates are available on request.

A drive to Sheldrick`s Baby Elephant Orphanage within a southern part of Nairobi National Park takes approximately 40 - 45 minutes and is open for only an hour daily for the public. This is usually between 11h00 - 12h00 every day to see the elephants being fed as well playing.

In addition, there is a keeper who will give a talk about the elephants, where they came from, how they are getting on, and how some of the previous orphans are progressing. This offers participants a really close encounter with the elephants. The orphanage also takes in rhinos and so if you are lucky you will get the chance to see a young rhino.

The Sheldricks Wildlife Trust is involved in the nobility of helping save the lives of Orphaned Elephants and Rhinos who are ultimately released back into the wild when mature.
