Generations of elephants - wild herds, ex-orphans & their offspring, & orphans still reliant on us - coming together in Tsavo National Park. Whether you're reading this from Kenya or the other side of the world, we're all neighbours; after all, all life has just one home

The wait is over! Meet the Nursery’s early Valentine:

This little girl came into our world on 13th Feb. Rescued from the Mukogodo Forest in Laikipia, after local Samburu found her abandoned, she was far too young to be on her own.

Please discover her story - and support her care - at: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orp

This little girl will be making her grand entrance later on today!

In the meantime, here’s a sneak peak of her running in to steal all your hearts. We’re excited to introduce you to her properly and to explain why she is known as the Nursery’s Valentine 💚🐘

One day Mzinga & Nyambeni will be wild elephants. As they navigate their early years, we're supporting them at every step.

Later, in the wild, we'll be working behind the scenes to protect them & secure their home.

You can play an integral role through an adoption: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orp

Baby in the bathtub!

Mum Murera & nannies Kiasa & Enkesha are on hand to make sure that Mwana enjoys her mud bath. All that appears to be missing is a rubber duck - there was an Egyptian Goose nearby!

If you missed the arrival of our miracle Mwana, visit: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/new

Bondeni by name, mischievous by nature!

Now 4 years old, this little bull’s been keeping his Keepers on their toes since his early days in Kaluku.

He was rescued as an orphan in 2019, when just a few days old.

Now at our Nairobi Nursery, he remains the chief instigator of hijinks!

Latika has found the perfect scratching post, garnering the interest of Muwingu, who's perhaps deciding if she's happy about this use of her stockade!

It's lovely to see a happy & healthy Latika, when looking back to the incredibly frail calf we rescued in 2021. Read her story: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orp

Now, Murera has her whole future ahead of her, with a beautiful daughter by her side. This is the greatest possible testament to our Orphans’ Project, paving the way for generations of wild elephant families.

How does your week ahead look?

For rescued orphan Apollo, it will include a lot of mud baths! Like elephants, rhinos wallow in mud to cool down & cover their skin in a protective layer of earth. Apollo hardly need lift a horn; his ever-vigilant Keepers on-hand to do the work!

We often say it's Lemeki's world & we just live in it - Joseph can clearly vouch for that!

Rescued as a newborn, during floods in 2018, we are the only family Lemeki's known, and this big-hearted girl has lavished nothing but love on us since coming into our care.

While the Keepers act as surrogate parents to the orphans, the older rescued elephants can be both siblings & nannies.

As a new day begins, Shujaa is lovingly sandwiched between Kinyei & Kindani as he heads out to the forest to browse.

Every yogi starts their yoga journey in their own way.

For Yogi, ex-orphan Yatta's 3rd calf, he's beginning with an early morning lesson from Chaimu.

At 14 yrs of age, Chaimu appears to have mastered the downward elephant & Yogi seems suitably impressed!

Discover how we first met Yogi: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/new

Baby elephants are as fragile to the elements as they are robust in their game play.

Emotionally sensitive, and highly intelligent, orphaned elephants require considerable love, support, and kindness - that's where our dedicated & compassionate Keepers come in!

Sometimes, the only way around is…over!

As orphans, these little elephants have already overcome a major life hurdle, and their determination is evident in their day-to-day activities: No fence, fallen tree or herd-mate is insurmountable!

Who's intrepid style made you smile?

Love is in the air!

Thanks to all of you who have adopted an orphan in our care. Whether for yourself, as a gift for a friend, or an 'I love you' to a special someone in your life, your support ensures we can give our hearts to orphans like Doldol, so that she can feel the love she deserves each & every day.

Rescued orphaned elephant Mwinzi has got some serious swagger!

After a night in his cosy (greens filled) stable, & a morning bottle of milk, he exits - or arguably makes his grand entrance from behind the blanket - to find his entourage ready & waiting to accompany him for a day's browsing and play!

Meet the calf, who has almost everyone wrapped around his tiny trunk at sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orp

My beach cleaning brings me lots of surprises, especially living ones! I’ve rescued many animals over the last few years, washed up on the beach, that I’ve returned to the water in the hope they’ll survive. AND I’m going LIVE with @koala_holly this morning at 11am, over on Instagram. Please join us for intertidal marine chitchat! On insta I’m @elizabethbeston

Baby elephants are very fragile, inside & out — their delicate skin is susceptible to sunburn. In the wild, calves stand under their mums for shade. We have to improvise for the youngest babies at the Nursery, slathering their ears with sunscreen on very hot days.
