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 #protect #wildlife #elephants #nature #animals #conservation #sheldricktrust #animalrescue #swt

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

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: http://sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates/murera-baby-mwana

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

In case you missed the wonderful news: Rescued orphan elephant Murera has become a mum!

Murera was one of the 1st two elephants to move to our Umani Springs Unit - it was built especially for them - and while this day was unimaginable to us 11 yrs ago, it's both fitting and monumental that Murera has become Umani's first mum!
