Elephant Orphanage Halvdagstur fra Nairobi
Beskrivelse
Besøg David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust på en halvdags tur på et børnehjem i Nairobi-elefant, der er hjemsted for yndig babyelefanter, der er blevet reddet af naturværner. I modsætning til nogle turnéindstillinger, der indeholder en lang liste med stop, er fokus kun på elefant børnehjemmet, så du får endnu mere tid til at se babyelefanterne fodre og lege med deres dyreholdere

Rejseplan
Turen starter med at hente dig fra dit hotel / hjem i Nairobi kl. 9.30. Vi kører dig til David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, en gåtur gennem det lille centrum fra kl. 11 til kl. 12 i et åbent rum med et rebhegn omkring det. De yngste elefanter kommer trav ud af bushen for at hilse på deres holdere, der står klar med kæmpe flasker mælk. I de næste 10-15 minutter kan du se hver lille slurp og gurgle deres mælk. Når de er færdige, er der vand at lege med og holdere til at skubbe og få knus fra. Mens du får se dem spille og tage fotos. Du finder ud af, hvor gamle de var, da de ankom til børnehjemmet, hvor de blev reddet fra, og hvad fik dem i problemer. De mest almindelige årsager til at blive forældreløs væsen: mors kogt, faldende i brønde og konflikt mellem mennesker og dyreliv. Når de yngste først er fodret, føres de tilbage i bushen, og det er 2-3-åriges tur. Nogle af dem kan fodre sig selv, og andre bliver stadig fodret med deres brugere. Det er meget sød at se dem holde deres gigantiske mælkeflasker i deres kufferter og lukke øjnene med glæde, når de hurtigt arbejder med flere liter mælk.

The Elephant Orphanage Half-Day Tour from Nairobi was an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of my visit to Kenya. The tour was well organized, with convenient hotel pickup and a knowledgeable guide who shared interesting information throughout the journey. Seeing the rescued baby elephants up close was truly heartwarming. Learning about their individual stories, the conservation efforts behind their rescue, and watching them play and feed was both educational and inspiring. The staff were passionate and dedicated, making the experience even more meaningful. The tour is perfect for travelers with limited time, as it offers a unique wildlife encounter without requiring a full-day commitment. I highly recommend this excursion to families, animal lovers, and anyone interested in wildlife conservation. It was a memorable, rewarding, and worthwhile experience that I would gladly do again. Thank you to the team for this amazing tour and will highly recommend this tour to my friends.
I have to say althoigh ive visited before a few years back this is still magical for me, without the dedication of the Sheldrick trust all these baby elephants and rhinos would just die the keepers show how much they love their jobs admission to sheldrick is very reasonable the ideal scenario for a visit is to combine with a trip to the Nairobi national park as without it seems steep to pay park entrance fee and not explore , if you are able adopt one it will stay with you forever
Stephen pointed out interesting landmarks along the drive to orphanage and the sanctuary. He was very accommodating and flexible, which allowed us to make the most of our day. It was a lovely day with a great guide.
Great work done by the team in this place. It requires lots of patience to keep up with good work here. The amazing part is a soon as the elephants become independent they are send back to the wild. Well done and keep doing a good job.
We were very upset that we arrived too late for the baby elephant feeding. We were taken to a Maasai gift shop first instead of going directly to the sanctuary so we had a good view. It was the experience we paid for and to miss the best part was a huge disappointment.
Not only do you get to learn about how the elephants are rescued, rehabilitated, and cared for, you get to pet them! They walk up to the fence to get pets, and you can discern the individual personalities of each elephant. One tried to eat my foot! lol. It was a moving experience to be able to engage with these majestic creatures up close and personally. Plus your entry fees help support the mission. Well worth it!
Really appreciate the work being done by the people here. The young elephants are really well looked after and are happy. The hour spent with them is really fulfilling.
The pickup and drop off was seamless and we had the best driver, John, who was so helpful and attentive! The elephants were also amazing to see.
Elephants were so adorable and funny, tour guide and driver were both amazing and provided valuable information about not only Nirobi but all of Kenya!
We loved seeing the orphaned elephants and rhino. The driver was really good and I would definitely go again. We also went to a bead factory and a shop with beautiful wood carvings
