1 Day Tour David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage And Nairobi National Park

Package Overview

The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant and rhino orphanage inside the western end of Nairobi National Park, offers a wonderful opportunity to see the baby elephants being fed with milk from bottles and when they play with each other. The keepers will give you a lecture of each of them explaining their names and their life histories on how they were orphaned. It’s a great place to go and adopt a baby elephant.
The trust was run for many years by Dame Daphne Sheldrick in memory of her husband David Sheldrick, the founding warden of Tsavo National Park. Dame Daphne died in 2018, but the hand-rearing methods and substitute elephant milk formula that she developed over many years of trial and error will outlive her and are now being replicated across Africa.

During the hour-long open house, the elephant keepers bring their juvenile charges out to play for an hour between 11:00 and 12:00. After some ad hoc football games and mud baths, the elephants and their keepers come up to an informal rope barrier stretched along one side of the ‘playground’ from where you can easily take photos. Each keeper gives a short presentation to the visitors nearest to him, explaining how orphaned elephants need to be cared for. The youngest infants are assigned keepers for individual 24-hour guardianship, a responsibility that includes sleeping in their stables.

Nairobi national park day tours is a half day trip to see lions, rhinos, buffaloes in the Nairobi national park and to view the wildlife in this great park.

Narobi National park was established in 1942 as a place of recreation by the colonial settlers right next to the growing city.

Nairobi national park main attractions include the rhinos, lions and leopards and the buffalo. There are however no elephants in the nairobi national park due to its limited size compared to elephants need for wide range lands.
