DAVID SHELDRICK

Description

The David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage is for Elephant Calves and Rhinos from all over Kenya was founded and managed by the late Daphne Sheldrick, the widow of one of Kenya’s best-known Game Wardens David Sheldrick. The orphanage is now managed by their daughter Angelina Sheldrick.

Today, the Sheldrick orphanage is a focal point for Elephant Conservation.

Elephant calves orphaned by poaching are brought here from all over the country. They receive extremely specialized treatment here, and literally receive personal care 24 hours a day from highly dedicated staff who become surrogate mothers to the calves.

Eventually the calves are moved to Tsavo, where they are carefully reintroduced into wild herds.
