David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi is a leading conservation organization dedicated to the protection of wildlife and natural habitats. It is renowned for its pioneering work in elephant orphan rescue and rehabilitation, providing care to young elephants who have lost their families due to poaching, drought, or human-wildlife conflict. Visitors can learn about these efforts during the public visiting hours, which are typically from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., allowing people to observe the baby elephants being fed and playing in the mud.

Additionally, the Trust offers educational programs that raise awareness about conservation issues and the importance of protecting wildlife. The facility is located within Nairobi National Park, making it easily accessible for both locals and tourists. Donations and foster programs are available for those interested in supporting their mission. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust opening hours are specifically designed to minimize stress on the animals while maximizing visitor experience.
