This is a must to visit, here they take in abandoned baby elephants, feed them, nurture them, nurse them back to health and ultimately return them to the wild & ensure that they are adopted by an appropriate family in an area close to where they were found.
I visited this centre not long after seeing a BBC documentary about the work carried out there. In fact, I recognised some of the keepers! They all seem really passionate about their work. The baby elephants are adorable and seem genuinely fond of the keepers, who play with them as well as feed and look after them. Some of the stories about how they were orphaned are sad, but it is great to think this place exists. It is a good place to visit with children.
you will be sad. the time spent with the orphaned elephants is amazing. Worth every moment. And the best thing is, if you want, you can adopt a little one!
This is the one stop you must make in Nairobi. It's a great chance to do good and have have a good time. Timing is critical here. Don't be late. The baby animals are worth the effort.
It's easy to combine this with the giraffe center which is nearby.
Loved watching the playful orphan elephants. I adopted a baby elephant and recieve emails on its progress. It's great to know our small donations are doing something so great. A must visit when in Nairobi this is a not to be missed stop.
