The Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage

The Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage is located in the Nairobi National Park. It was started by David Sheldrick, and his wife, with an aim of Helping save the lives of orphaned Elephants and Rhinos who are ultimately released back into the wild.

Sheldrick Orphanage is a vocal point for Elephant Conservation, and rehabilitation in Nairobi Kenya. Calves orphanned by poaching are brought here; where they receive extremely specialized treatment, and one on one personal care 24 hours a day from highly dedicated staff who become surrogate mothers to the calves.

The park is open to vistors, from 11.00am to 12.00pm, which gives vistors an oportunity to see the elephants being fed and playing. In addition, a keeper will give a brief life history of the elephants, where they came from, how they are getting on, and how some of the previous orphans are progressing.

The elephant orphanage , is a place where human compasion, trumps everything else, where humans dedicate their lives, to saving this beautiful animals; and if you visit the park, they allow you to get really close to the elephants.
