The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust & Nanyuki's Orphanage

The Elephant Orphanage Nanyuki, part of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT), is a beacon of hope for orphaned and abandoned elephant calves. These young elephants, often victims of poaching or human-wildlife conflict, are rescued and hand-reared by dedicated rangers. A visit allows you to observe their feeding times and playful interactions, learning about their individual stories and the challenges they face. Mtalii Bush Camps is proud to facilitate these visits as part of our comprehensive Nanyuki safari experiences. Your participation directly supports the DSWT’s crucial work in conservation and rehabilitation, making your safari not just an adventure, but a contribution to a vital cause.
