Toto can’t wait to meet you! Tiny, hairy & always dressed to impress, Toto is ready to make his debut on our foster program. We’ll share his extraordinary story later today — watch this space 📷 sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans

Quanza (front) is an orphan of the ivory trade. Mwashoti (behind) nearly lost his foot in a bush-meat poachers snare. We’re fighting the wrongs for these animals & creating a safe environment for them to roam free. Learn more about our anti poaching ops: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/projects/anti-…

In the wild, they have their mum's help. In our care, the rescued orphan #elephants have their surrogate parents - the Keepers. Encouraging baby elephants to eat greens, and showing them how to pick and pluck them, is all part of the support journey. sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/projects/orpha…

Kickstarting the year with 4 shiny new molars, little Chamboi has been eagerly gearing up for a diet beyond milk. Now, with his growing set of teeth, he's all set to forage on fresh greens to his heart's delight. Wondering why he’s in our care? Find out: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/chamboi

What a difference a week makes! Days after this was filmed in January, independent Sagateisa took the next step in her reintegration journey by venturing off with visiting ex-orphans into the wild. We’ve seen her since & she’s flourishing. Recap her story: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/sagate…

Suguroi’s story began with a chance sighting from the air. A pilot spotted the carcass of a female elephant, & chose to circle back. His decision saved Suguroi’s life - when they circled back, they spotted a tiny lone calf who needed help, fast: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/suguroi

Protecting Kenya’s giant creatures takes teamwork, dedication & excellent skills of observation. When this triumvirate comes together, great things can happen – like two back-to-back veterinary treatments unfolding in a single day! Full details: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates/t…

Chamboi indulges in a personalised spa treatment! Because he’s only 6 months old, his Keepers are on hand 24/7 to give him everything he needs. Curious about how we’ll care for Chamboi - an orphan black rhino - in the months ahead? Visit: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/projects/orpha…

A herd of second chances roams the Kibwezi Forest. On this occasion, led by Enkesha, followed by Kiombo, Maktao, Sonje, Mwashoti, with Kapei, Murera, Mwana & co bringing up the rear. Discover their stories of resilience & hope: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/umani-springs-…

With Mwana by her side, Murera’s family is complete. Next month marks one whole year of Mwana & we’re starting the celebrations early with this look back at her first few months on earth. She’s just as beautiful as her mum, an orphan we rescued & raised: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates/m…

Need a dose of cute & calm to wrap up your day? Check out Chamboi, snuggled up in his stable with a cosy blanket. Need we say more? Don't forget to turn on the sound for the perfect soothing soundtrack, then visit: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/chamboi to learn why he’s in our care.

Meet Mwinzi, the proud owner of two tiny tusks. On this morning, Keeper Peter was treated to a show & tell. Now its your turn! When he’s not grandstanding, he loves to eat. This survival response likely saved his life as an orphan newborn: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/mwinzi

Big news: Roho & Larro are being weaned! During this process, we dilute their milk formula & reduce their bottles. Knowing this is a big step, we take it very slow. We offer bottle of milk, but keep extra bottles of water back in case they want extra hydration (or comfort).

Ever wondered how we tell the orphans apart? Join Keeper Emmanuel as he gives the lowdown on what makes Larro stand out from the herd. Her rescue story is just as unique as she is: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/larro (English isn’t Emmanuel’s first language but we think he did a great job)

Welcoming the new week in Mwana style: best foot forward, ears perked for adventure! Among the 59 known calves born to orphans we rescued, raised & re-wilded, Mwana stands out as our most unique. Learn more about this special girl & her mother, Murera: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates/m…

It’s hard to believe Sholumai is the same elephant we were called to rescue 10 months ago. Back then, she was nearly comatose & the vet only gave her a slim chance of survival. Spoiler alert: she beat the odds! Celebrate her recovery & survival story: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/sholum…

Vaarti is determination personified in his quest to get one over Mayan. These 2 orphan bulls are similar in personality, with sunny temperaments that endear them to everyone! Have they captured your heart❤️? Support us (& them) through an adoption: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans

It's the start of another day for rescued orphan rhino Natibu. That's a reality made possible through the kindness of those who support our work, enabling us to rescue, raise & reintegrate back into the wild orphaned animals of all species. Learn more at sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/projects/orpha…

Some are morning elephants, others are… not! Loldaiga (squirming to his feet at the beginning) is always eager to seize the day, but his neighbour Mageno loves a lie-in (watch until the end to see what we mean!). Can you relate? Get to know the different personalities that…

As Ithumba’s Head Keeper, Benjamin has played a pivotal role in the lives of dozens of orphaned elephants. Each one has a special place in his heart, but he really treasures time with Mutara. The feeling is clearly mutual #ValentinesDay
