Rescued infant orphans are bottle-fed formula milk every 3 hours, day and night. Even then, some individuals have little patience at milk-mixing time! With 120 orphaned elephants currently in our care in Kenya, milk is always in high demand! Starting at just $6 USD, you can fund an orphan’s milk feed through our Wish List: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/shop/wishlist (link in profile) #SheldrickTrust #SWT #elephant #kenya #milk #babyelephant #wildlife #sheldrickwildlifetrust #animals #cutebaby #recovery #charity

Our hearts soar when the rescued orphans in our care begin to play. It’s a strong indicator that a baby elephant has started to heal psychologically (as well as physically for those that are rescued with injuries) So you can only imagine how happy we are to see this youngster sprinting after us in Kaluku, the base of our Tsavo operations. Your support makes second chances possible for wild orphans.

Mwana is quite the little athlete! Before retiring for the night, she evokes her inner Messi and plays a game of ‘milk bottle football’ with Sora! He’s one of the Keepers who raised her mother, Murera, and helped support Mwana when mum initially struggled to nurse her newborn - something she mastered on the 11th day. Over the years, we’ve met 55 calves born to orphaned elephants we rescued, raised, and reintegrated back into the wild. However, none quite like Mwana. Her mother came to us with grievous, human-inflicted injuries that will affect her for the rest of her life. For this reason, Murera prefers to remain close to home, leaning on her Keepers for the support and security that help her thrive. While she and Mwana spend their days roaming freely, Murera chooses to return to her stockade each night, knowing it protects them from any boisterous antics that might put her and her daughter at risk. If you would like to learn more about Mwana and Murera’s story, visit: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/murera #elephants #babyelephant #wildlife #animals #football #soccer #SheldrickTrust #SWT #family #MureraSWT #MwanaSWT #miracle #herd #sheldrickwildlifetrust #messi

Propelled by the promise of warm milk, the orphaned elephants at our Nairobi Nursery run as fast as their little legs will carry them for their 11am milk feed! The sounds of bottles being slurped, followed by the blissful faces of the elephants as they enter a post feed milk stupor, tells us all we need to know - baby elephants love (and need) milk. You can actually donate bottles of milk to our project: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/shop/wishlist (link in bio) #elephants #babyelephant #milk #wildlife #animals #animalrescue #sheldrickwildlife #nairobi #kenya #sheldrickwildlifetrust #feeding

After a few weeks away, the Keepers at our Umani Springs Reintegration Unit were delighted to see wild-living Zongoloni make an appearance. The other orphans were too, until she tried to sneak off with baby Mwana! She attempted a similar ‘baby snatching’ in April, & often used to try to whisk Kiasa away when she was younger. However, Kiasa is now one of Mwana’s chief nannies, a role she takes incredibly seriously! Ensure your volume is turned up as you watch Kiasa, followed by Quanza & Murera, make it crystal clear to Zongoloni that their baby is going nowhere! #elephants #animalrescue #animals #wildlife #nature #conservation #kenya #babyelephant #animalbehaviour #sheldricktrust #nanny #sheldrickwildlifetrust

Morning, noon, and night, Mwinzi’s always full of beans - fuelled by his love of food! Rescued on the brink of death in September 2022 - a victim of that year’s brutal drought which took a toll on all species - Mwinzi was brought to our Kaluku neonate unit. Given how gaunt and poorly he was, and being so young - estimated at 5 months - we braced ourselves for tough times to help save this little calf. We need not have been worried, fuelled by milk and greens, Mwinzi barrelled into Kaluku life. His bright personality and easy manner making him a firm favourite with all the other orphans - it’s just important that he has his greens and branches at bedtime… if they aren’t there then everyone in Kaluku and further afield will hear about it! You can support Mwinzi, and discover his full story, at sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/mwinzi (link in profile) #elephant #babyelephant #kenya #SheldrickTrust #tsavo #wildlife #amboseli #animals #mornings #wild #nature #morningshow #conservation #food #greens #sheldrickwildlifetrust

Healthy baby elephants can be seriously cheeky characters! As Keeper Jackson says goodnight to rescued orphan Natibu, the little calf gives him a trunk hug… which soon turns into a brazen attempt to steal his hat! (Not that Jackson was in anyway surprised as you can see) We’ve successfully rescued and raised 320 orphaned elephants. Helping these individuals to not only survive, but grow up to live a future back in the wild. Each rescue is as unique as the elephant and you can discover Natibu’s story, and even support his journey through an adoption, at www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/chamboi (link in profile) #elephants #SheldrickTrust #kenya #SWT #wildlife #animals #charity #sheldrickwildlifetrust #cheeky #babyelephant #babyanimals

We all fall down sometimes, but as Doldol reminds us, life’s for living. She wastes no time getting back on her little feet and running into the next adventure. Doldol is the tiniest elephant we have ever rescued. When our team first met her, they couldn’t believe their eyes. She was impossibly small, almost certainly born premature. Her mother must have been disturbed during birth and took off, leaving her baby behind. Doldol’s life could have ended just as it began, but she is a miniature miracle.

From belly to bottom, Yebo is treating himself to a full body scratch. This tiny baby is our first ‘Ithumba great grandbaby’. His mother is Yetu, the firstborn daughter of Yatta, an orphan we rescued, raised & returned to the wild. Unlike Yatta who was raised by humans, Yetu has only ever known a wild life and her son Yebo will enjoy this same wild upbringing. We rescued Yatta in 1999, after she’d been orphaned due to poaching! She went in to become the matriarch of our Ithumba Unit, and since going wild has been a mum three times over. Her story reminds us that in saving one life, we can support future generations.

The ‘don’t play with your food’ rule goes out the window when it comes to a baby elephant learning how to use their trunk!

Containing 40,000 muscles, this facial appendage takes time to master, but little Mokogodo is well on her way, demonstrating some deft trunk finger skills as she plays in the forest.

Three month ago to the day we celebrated one of the Trust’s treatment moments. Murera, an orphaned elephant who vets suggested should be euthanised due to her injuries – she came to us in a terrible condition having trodden on poisoned spikes and fallen irreparably damaging her hip – gave birth! Her baby, Mwana, has not only stolen mum’s heart, but those of the rest of the Umani Springs elephant herd (and all of ours too!)

Forget a bedtime story or having a bath. When it comes to the orphaned elephant’s night time routine, it’s all about a bottle of fresh milk ‘washed down’ with some hand-cut greens. It’s an approach which ensures blanket-clad babies like Mokogodo sleep soundly, once they’ve finished saying goodnight.

As the clock nears 5pm here in Nairobi, our herd of rescued orphan elephants head back to their bedrooms with their Keepers. We’re currently looking after 22 elephants at the Nursery, each is being afforded a second chance that will see them return to a fully wild life when grown. Our foster parents and supporters make those new beginnings possible - thank you.

Just. A. Little. Bit. More. Mwinzi sucks his trunk to get every last droplet of milk. He doesn't have to wait long until the next serving; every 3 hours, we hand-feed orphans of his age bottles of freshly mixed formula milk - day & night - to ensure their nutritional needs are met. Milk is a much needed & appreciated gift that you can donate towards our project via our Wish List.

This is our favourite kind of family portrait: orphan elephant Naisula & her calf Nyx. This scene almost didn’t happen: When Naisula was 2 years old, she was orphaned, likely by poachers. Some calves don’t survive such loss, but she did. Raised by our Keepers, today she is a mother of one, living wild in Kenya’s vast Tsavo Conservation Area. We couldn’t be more proud of this remarkable elephant!

World Elephant Day kisses from our newest baby in blue — Taroha! We have been waiting quite some time to share this special elephant’s tale. Taroha’s rescue in March, when KWS rangers spotted a lone, year-old, elephant calf close to Lake Jipe in Tsavo West National Park. He was still milk-dependent and far too young to be without his mother. At first, we were cautiously optimistic about Taroha. But then, he took a worrying dip. His condition crashed and his ears curled in, which is always a telltale sign of poor health. Still we forged on, taking the victories and setbacks in equal measure. It was during this time that a very special friendship was cemented in Taroha’s life. Because of his fragile state, he was partnered up with tiny Mokogodo, the youngest orphan elephant at the Nursery. Clad in their matching blue blankets, they became an unlikely couple and an inseparable pair. Where Mokogodo is feisty and definitive, Taroha is calm and easy-going. She is the ringleader, he is happy to be led. We have no doubt that this friendship helped pull Taroha through his darkest times. What better time to introduce Taroha than #WorldElephantDay, a day dedicated to securing a future for our planet’s largest animals! This is just the beginning of Taroha’s story — one that, all well, will continue to unfold for many, many decades to come. You can celebrate #WorldElephantDay and become part of Taroha’s by adopting him.

It’s called an elephant pile, & Kerrio is at the bottom of it! She instigated the game of climb-up, climb -on, climb-over, with a glance in the direction of the Nursery’s younger orphans, before lying down on the forest floor. Nyambeni & Mzinga took up the challenge & they all ended up in a big pile of wriggling, squirming & kicking legs. Looks like fun doesn’t it!
