"He recommends starting with a stay at Giraffe Manor, in Nairobi. The next morning, it’s onward to Namunyak, and Reteti House, a sibling property to Sarara Camp." - Leora Rothschild

"Reteti Elephant Sancutary is my children's favorite place on earth. This center is dedicated to rescuing baby elephants, and visitors can interact with the babies during their daily feedings. However, being the primary animal orphanage in the Northern Rangelands of Kenya, many other species also end up here. During our last visit, my daughter bottle-fed a baby rhinoceros, Loijipu, who was only four weeks old. The center also has a pet gerenuk, Gilby, who goes on walks with you like a dog. You can hand feed the small family of hand-reared giraffes, and you never know if there will be a baby zebra, kudu, or porcupine. This is a nature-sensitive place to interact with African rescue animals of all shapes and sizes." - Travel + Leisure Editors

This elephant reserve is like no other. Retiti iis run by the local people and tied to other programs that support the local people like milk to mamas , where the village women can sell any excess milk from their goats or camels, to feed the elephants. Retiti is supported by the organization, Sarara, which has a 5star eco lodge, again primarily run by the local people and also supports other programs like the mobile women and children mobile clinic and Montessori schools. This was an amazing experience all around and I couldn’t recommend it more.

Workers are friendly and motivated. Devoted and hard working. Very knowledgeable about the animals and environment. I gained deep insight especially about elephants... I felt like I was learning about totally new animals yet all along I thought I knew elephants well... 😁

An amazing experience and well worth the drive. The rangers were so informative and passionate. This is a genuine conservation centre and not a zoo in disguise like so many. The great work done at Reteti is of clear benefit to the animals but also the surrounding communities. The drive is very pleasant, a nice sandy track from the highway. Don't worry that Google doesn't know how to plot your route, you just follow the one and only track.

Amazing experience. 40 baby elephants being cared for during the drought. A community project and happy to support this worthy cause. Also saw baby giraffes and other animals. Glad to see this amazing place.

No need to say that the morning feed of the ellies is one of the cutest things you can experience. But Reteti is so much more, and the positive impact the initiative has on both wildlife and local communities deserves all the support. Everybody should consider visiting to experience first hand their love and commitment for the animals
