Meet some of Nairobi's most beloved residents at Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, a rescue and rehabilitation center for orphaned rhinos and elephants. Established in 1977 in honor of naturalist David Sheldrick, the nonprofit organization lies within the city's national park. Get up close to adolescent and baby elephants during bath time, and watch majestic rhinos playfully romping through their natural habitat. With the animals' welfare at its heart, the center only allows public viewing for a limited morning period, so check the website for visitor times.

So rewarding to watch the orphans enjoying their milk and interacting with each other in the mud bath. Excellent explanations given by the hraad keeper. One of life's feel good moments

I loved my time here. Hearing the stories of each elephant was heart warming. It’s a place you can enjoy either with company or alone. I totally recommend. If you can, also donate. Well even visiting is an effort to the cause. Enjoy!

Such an amazing place, considering the work they do on behalf of orphaned baby elephants. The elephants are simply beyond adorable. It’s so fun, watching the babies play in mud and with each other and to pet them as they walk past. Also, while they enjoy playing in the muddy water, they can splash spectators with the muddy water, as they did the people standing around me (I had faster reflexes…lol)…such fun. Definitely a must -do activity.
