Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) is a leader in African wildlife conservation. Through its Orphans' Project, SWT has raised over 320 orphaned elephants and rhinos. When grown, each orphan is reintegrated into a protected wilderness. The SWT Nursery, located in Nairobi National Park, is the first stage, where new rescues are nurtured by an experienced team of Keepers. Pre-booked visitors are invited to join the Nursery orphans for their midday milk feed and mud bath. The public visit takes place daily from 11am to 12 noon. From a variety of viewing platforms, watch the orphans enjoy their bottles and gather for playtime. A senior Keeper leads the visit. Access to this visit is by advance reservation only. Third-party bookings are not valid; all bookings must be made through the SWT Nairobi Office. A separate park entry fee, payable to the Kenya Wildlife Service, also applies. SWT is a donor-funded organisation. By visiting the Nursery, guests directly support its conservation work.
