Itinerario
El recorrido comienza al recogerlo de su hotel / hogar dentro de Nairobi a las 9:30 a.m. Lo llevaremos a David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust a caminar por el pequeño centro de 11 a.m. a 12 p.m. en un espacio abierto, con una cerca de cuerda alrededor. Los elefantes más jóvenes salen trotando del arbusto para saludar a sus cuidadores que están listos con botellas gigantes de leche. Durante los próximos 10-15 minutos puedes ver a cada pequeño sorber y hacer gárgaras con su leche. Cuando terminan, hay agua para jugar y guardianes para empujar y recibir abrazos. Mientras los ves jugar y tomar fotos. Averigüe cuántos años tenían cuando llegaron al orfanato, de dónde fueron rescatados y qué los metió en problemas. Las razones más comunes para quedar huérfano: la caza furtiva de la madre, la caída en pozos y el conflicto entre humanos y vida silvestre. Una vez que los más jóvenes son alimentados, son conducidos nuevamente al monte, y es el turno de los niños de 2-3 años. Algunos de ellos pueden alimentarse, y otros aún son alimentados por sus cuidadores. Es muy lindo verlos sostener sus botellas gigantes de leche en sus baúles y cerrar los ojos con alegría mientras hacen un rápido trabajo con varios galones de leche.

My adult children and I visited the orphanage on June 18, 2026. It was quite crowded, but an amazing experience to see. There is an excellent presentation of the history of the facility and the work they do. We were first introduced to Titan a baby black rhino and a baby zebra. Both were adorable. They then brought out the 13 orphaned baby elephants who varied in age. I was impressed with the facility and they had a wonderful gift shop!
The actual visit to Sheldrick was lovely, but at a huge cost. This company make this trip sound like the high cost they charge includes all entrance fees. However you are sprung with an $80USD charge on top of what you have paid to enter the national park. It’s an extortionate cost to have someone only drive you there when they neglect to tell you this hefty park entrance fee is not included. Seems like a massive scam neglecting to tell you on purpose!
Great experience. The orphanage is only open to the public between 11 and 12 and is focused on the background of the animals and feeding. We are not allowed to feed or touch the animals but you are close enough to enjoy the experience. Definitely recommend you get there well before 11 to secure a good viewing spot. The tour driver will ensure this. Also be prepared for a couple of stops to see a market and bead factory. Also be aware that this price does not include park entrance fees which will need to be paid prior to entry to the park. Overall a good and fun experience
Sam was an amazing guide. He really went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. They helped us get a good viewing spot at the elephant experience. They accommodated my last minute (day of) booking. He was pleasant, informative, professional, friendly and great at listening to and accommodating what you are looking for. Thank you Sam!
Stephen Mutuku was the best guide!! He got us there early enough so we could have prime viewing, as well as guided us where to stand for the best pictures (with the sun behind us). He was extremely kind and knowledgeable. 10/10 recommend!

We got pick up by Steve.. who may I say was an excellent guide. He introduced him self when he first call.. he welcomed up as we arrived at the fan.. he opened the door for us.. on our way to the elephant orphanage he was telling us all about the surrounding areas and telling us interesting facts. We arrived and he showed us the best spot and the orphanage and he even gave us a little briefing on what will happen before it even began. Steve made our day so much better and I just want to thank Steve for a brilliant day
Visiting the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage was an exceptional experience! The work they do to do rescue, rehabilitate, andcrewild orphan elephantsvis amazing. It was so fun to watch the orphansc come out to play and have their afternoon freeding, and the keepers gave a very informative talk about the elephants and the work the orphanage does. Out driver John was fantastic - he contacted us the night before to confirm our appointment and offer assistance with park entry tickets. He was on time in the morning and his commentary during our drive was interesting and informative. He was also a very good, safe driver on Nairobi’s quite congested on roads. We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this tour.
Absolutely fabulous. The driver was timely, informative and navigated the potholes well. No issues at all
