It’s a girl for Naserian! As is a time-honoured tradition among our ex-orphans, the proud mum returned ‘home’ this weekend to introduce her brand new daughter to the people who raised her. We rescued Naserian back in 2004. After growing up in our care, first at the Nursery and then at our Ithumba Reintegration Unit, she reclaimed her place in the wilds of northern Tsavo. This is Naserian’s second baby, following in the footsteps of big sister Njema, who was born almost exactly four years ago. Mo

LIVE FROM THE NURSERY: Get to know our newest orphan, Tytan! This little black rhino was rescued in September, after his mother died in a tragic fall.

Baby elephants are a lot like dominos — one falls down, they all tumble down! (This is — you guessed it — our Umani kindergarten class: Lenny, Sulwe, and Zigi, while nanny Kiasa tries to maintain some order) — These babies are ‘grandchildren’ of our Orphans’ Project: Their mothers were orphaned when they were just babies themselves and raised in our care. Now, they are all grown up and nurturing their own families in the wild. Meet the 79 known ‘grandchildren’ born to our Orphans’ Project: sheld

HEARTWARMING RESCUE: HELICOPTER TEAM OF DAVID SHELDRICK WILDLIFE TRUST RESCUES A BABY ELEPHANT FROM A WATERING HOLE AND REUNITES IT WITH ITS MOTHER !

They jump into the watering hole and gently roll the elephant out of the pond and back onto its feet. The baby then trots over to be reunited with its mother. During the footage the baby reaches out with its tiny trunk to its mother

Kenya is rewriting its rhino story — and we are proud of the role we play in it. Not so long ago, Kenya was teeming with black rhinos. However, global demand for rhino horn fuelled a catastrophic wave of poaching that very nearly destroyed the species. By the mid-1980s, populations had plummeted from 20,000 to less than 400. The once-ubiquitous symbols of Kenya’s wilderness had been nearly poached to extinction. Today, Kenya’s black rhinos are the face of a remarkable comeback story. Despite dev

Wondering who this chubby-cheeked, round-bellied little vision is, front and centre? It’s none other than Kipekee! After months of inch-by-inch, ounce-by-ounce progress, the gaunt orphan we rescued in June is starting to fill out beautifully. As always, Kipekee is surrounded by her cabal of protective nannies — Kerrio, Kamili, Muridjo, and even sometimes-friend-sometimes-rival Wamata! — Tiny Kipekee is one of the youngest orphans currently in our care. This is just the beginning of her journey —
