Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage
 Open
to the public from 11:00hrs to 12:00hrs daily.
Located at The Nairobi National Park, Daphne Sheldrick's Elephant Orphanage
looks after and supports orphaned baby elephants and rhinos who have lost
their mothers to poaching, death, injuries, on getting lost in the wild
or other tragedies.
Besides feeding, washing and walking the babies, Daphne and her dedicated
staff of keepers provide emotional support to the orphans as they raise
them to be released back into the wild when they are ready.
It is worth a visit to the park to see the young elephants interacting
with their keepers – playing, taking mud baths and being fed with
milk. This is a rare sight to watch and a most memorable way to get up
close to the babies and observe their playful habits, something which
is not possible or even safe during your safari in the wild.
