Visit a family of elephants orphaned by poaching on a half-day trip to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Nairobi’s only elephant orphanage. You’ll arrive for the hour-long period that’s open to the public, as elephants are bottle fed and take mud baths—you might also spot the resident warthogs, giraffe, and blind rhino. Learn about elephant conservation and the challenges Kenya’s elephants face in the wild, with the convenience of round-trip transport from centrally-located hotels in Nairobi.
