What to expect

The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is a conservation organization dedicated to the protection of wildlife and preservation of habitats in East Africa. The trust is best known for its Orphans' Project, a successful elephant orphan rescue and rehabilitation program. The trust's nursery, located in Nairobi National Park, is a great place to visit with family and see the orphaned elephants and rhinos. The nursery is home to a variety of animals, including black and white rhinos, and African elephants. The trust works to protect these animals and their habitats, and visitors can learn about the conservation efforts and see the animals up close. The trust also offers a public visit to the nursery, where visitors can see the orphaned elephants and rhinos during their midday milk feed and mud bath
