We are especially proud of the trust we have built with wild elephants.

The babies are heading back to their bedrooms, where formula milk and fresh cut greens await (as well as soft beds of hay)! With so many rescues having come into our care recently, many of them victims of the recent dry season and human-wildlife conflict, our Nairobi Nursery orphan herd is growing.
