• Sheldrick Wildlife Trust - The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT), also known as the Elephant Orphanage, is located in Nairobi, Kenya. It is one of the most well-known elephant sanctuaries in the world, dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of orphaned elephants, often victims of poaching. Once the elephants are nurtured and rehabilitated, they are eventually reintegrated into the wild.

Key Highlights:

Location: Located within Nairobi National Park.

Visitor Experience: Visitors can observe baby elephants being fed and playing in mud baths. The orphanage offers a daily public visit in the late morning, typically around 11 a.m.

Adoption Program: Visitors can “adopt” an elephant, which helps support their care and rehabilitation.

Educational Focus: The orphanage also educates the public about wildlife conservation, particularly focusing on elephant protection.

• Giraffe Centre - The Giraffe Centre, located in Lang’ata, Nairobi, is a conservation and educational center established to protect the endangered Rothschild giraffe. The center was founded in 1979 by the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW) and has since played a crucial role in breeding and protecting these giraffes.
