She’s far from the smallest, or youngest, member of our Voi orphan herd, but it’s safe to say Lemeki still acts like the baby of the bunch.

Ever since her rescue, as a genuine baby, she’s loved swinging her trunk - a very happy at heart individual, which is credit to the Keepers who've raised her since she was only days old.

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

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: http://sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/mokogodo

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: http://sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans

It’s hard to believe that Murera’s baby is already a month old, yet it’s equally difficult to recall life before Mwana.

She’s captured the hearts of everyone at Umani, especially Kiasa & Enkesha who shadow her every move in a barefaced bid to be Nanny No.1

Great matriarchs never really leave us

Today marks five years since Daphne Sheldrick, my mother and the Trust’s founder, passed away.

However, we feel Daphne and David’s presence every day and in all that we do, as we continue and grow what they started.

We encourage you to read Angela Sheldrick's full tribute to her Daphne at: http://sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates/daphne-tribute-2023

Adorableness: A baby elephant clambering out of a mud bath!

In this case, it's Muridjo, a calf who likes to act like one of the big girls - despite being only 16 months old - but even she has moments when she just wants to play about like any other baby.

Meet this sweet girl and consider supporting her journey with an adoption at http://sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/muridjo

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: http://sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/latika

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!

It's a year since Lemeki, and best friend Thamana, graduated from Kaluku to Voi.

Two things haven't changed in that time; Thamana's love for Lemeki, and Lemeki's love of life!

We can say with confidence that Lemeki remains as full of flair and attention-loving as ever. so beware - & be ready to get muddy - any who fail to pay homage to Kaluku's founding queen!

Doldol is a teeny tiny elephant who packs a big personality punch!

She’s a happy, cheeky baby, especially when surrogate parent Mishak is around; it is heartwarming to see the incredible bond those 2 share. Learn why at: http://sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/doldol

In the rescue of wild animals Plan A doesn't always work!

You need to be ready to adapt & develop a Plan B, C, even D! That was the case in this herculean two-day operation to free a trapped bull elephant.

It started with hands-on digging and ended with heavy machinery.

Doldol may be a force of nature, but we can all use a helping hand sometimes - or four helping hands, for that matter!

The tiniest orphan we’ve ever rescued, you can be a part of this gorgeous girl’s journey by adopting her. Learn more at: http://sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/doldol

As I posted yesterday, I am a HUGE fan and supporter of Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Here are some of their rescued orphans. 💗 🐘
#SheldrickWildlifeTrust

‘ You are now part of Suguroi’s family ‘ - ik heb een olifantje geadopteerd. Ze heet Suguroi ❤️

Maar het is meer dan adopteren natuurlijk. Sheldrick Wildlife Trust helpt met de adopties alle dieren in nood. In hun opvanglocaties én daarbuiten. Mooi!

The protection an elephant mother affords her calf comes in many forms.

New mum Naisula uses her body to create shade for baby Nyx, helping protect her calf's delicate skin against the sun.

Nyx is the 54th calf born to an orphan we have rescued & raised. Read about how we were first introduced to her at: http://sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates/naisula-nyx
