"Meet baby elephants at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust TheDavid Sheldrick Wildlife Trust rescues orphaned baby elephants from the wild, nurturing and raising them through the grief of losing their families, and then easesthem back into their natural habitat when they are old and strong enough. The animals are notforced to return to the wild—at around fouryears old, they are moved from the Nairobi nursery to a new home near Tsavo National Park to help them gain the independence to move on. The baby elephants can be visited every day at 11 a.m., where you'll see them playing in the mud and guzzling gallons of milk. Guests who choose toadopt an orphan can return at 5 p.m. to watchthe babies enjoy an evening snack of leaves before being put to bed."
