Baby elephant orphanage in Kenya — a photo tour
Chris Weller/Business Insider
- I recently took a trip to Nairobi, Kenya, where I visited the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
- The project started in 1977 as a way to rescue orphaned elephants and rhinos.
- More than 200 elephants have been rescued and reintroduced into the wild.
The clapping started immediately.
Behind a roped-off mud pit, over 100 tourists and I watched as a small parade of baby elephants walked single-file from the thick bush, down a dirt road, and up to the handlers awaiting them. They were soon rewarded for their brave entrance with oversized milk bottles and reassuring pats on the head.
I was at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, in Nairobi, Kenya. There was little structure to my visit: Stand behind a rope for two hours as about a dozen 200-lb. toddlers frolicked in the mud, guzzled milk, and carried branches from one spot to another.
In these tumultuous times, I felt lucky to experience such innocence firsthand. Here’s what I saw.
