Activity itinerary

Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT), also known as the Elephant Orphanage, is located in Nairobi, Kenya. It is one of the best-known elephant sanctuaries in the world, dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of orphaned elephants, often victims of poaching. Once the elephants are nurtured and rehabilitated, they are eventually reintegrated into the wild. Key Highlights: Location: Located within Nairobi National Park. Visitor Experience: Visitors can observe baby elephants being fed and playing in mud baths. The orphanage offers a daily public visit in the late morning, typically around 11 a.m. Adoption Programme: Visitors can "adopt" an elephant, which helps support their care and rehabilitation. Educational Focus: The orphanage also educates the public about wildlife conservation, particularly focusing on elephant protection.

  • Admission ticket included
The Giraffe Centre, located in Lang'ata, Nairobi, is a conservation and educational centre established to protect the endangered Rothschild giraffe.

Key Highlights: Location: Near Nairobi, not far from the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Interactive Experience: Visitors can get up close to the giraffes, feed them from raised platforms, and even interact with them directly. Educational Programmes: The centre runs programmes aimed at educating children and the general public on wildlife conservation, particularly focused on giraffes. Rothschild Giraffes: The centre focuses on breeding Rothschild giraffes, a subspecies that is endangered due to habitat loss. Nature Trails: There are also nature walks around the centre, where visitors can explore the local flora and fauna.
