Even though we saw many elephants on our safari, there is something about seeing orphaned, baby elephants that really tugs at your heart strings. I thought this place was worth seeing, even if its only open for an hour a day.

It has baby elephants, all orphans, all drop dead cute and at times within arms reach. Even an old cynic like me was moved and thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing

We foster elephants at the orpahange and our decision to visit Kenya was predominantly to see them. And we were not dissappointed! We visited during the public viewing and even though there were alot of visitors, everyone got a front row view and it was amazng how close we could get. The keepers were very informative as well. We are returning at a later time which we have had to book ahead of time which is just for foster parents for a more one on one experience and we can't wait. We organised a driver to take us from our hotel and wait for us which was a great decision, and our driver also took us to the Giraffe Centre which is close by. A visit to David Sheldrick is a must if visiting Nairobi, it was better than we could have ever imagined.

I have been to this place already twice. The secon time my teenager daughter loved it.
hey only open to the public for one hour a day, but this is a reflection for their genuine love for wildlife and their respect for their need to be "left alone"...
Dame Daphne Sheldrick is a woman of vision and energy, and this place is a tribute to the dedication of this exceptional human being to the cause of giving a second chance to orphan elephants. Not to be missed!
