• The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is only 25 minutes from the city centre. It is one of the most successful orphan-elephant rescue and rehabilitation programs in the world.
• The Trust was founded in 1977 in memory of David Sheldrick, a founding Warden of Tsavo East National Park. Among other roles, it rescues orphaned and wounded baby elephants and rehabilitates them before reintroducing them to their natural habitat.
• The elephants in their care are fed each day at 11 a.m. The feeding is done in public, during which a warden narrates the story of each calf. This is an unparalleled experience as you get up close and candid with the world's biggest land mammals. It is also an opportunity to learn how man's activities affect nature and how you can make a difference.
