At all our reintegration units the focus is on supporting the orphans as they transition back to the wild. For the female elephants this leads on to starting a family of their own. To date, we know of 77 calves born to elephants we’ve rescued and raised: their wild-living... show more

We have now met 94 babies born wild to orphan elephants we rescued, raised and rewilded. In a wonderful demonstration of the lifelong bond they form with the Keepers, many of our ex-orphan mums return to our reintegration units after giving birth to show off their babies to the people who raised them. We have even witnessed several mothers returning to give birth at our units! Every rescue carries this possibility within it. At our Umani Springs unit, we are watching a new generation of elephants enter the world. What began with two elephants in 2014 – Murera and Sonje – has grown into a family herd already featuring four wild-born babies, with more on the way! This success is one of five examples of elephant conservation in action:

This handsome chap is proof that our orphans might be raised by humans, but in adulthood, this matters little to the wild elephants they encounter. Wild bulls have been arriving at our Umani Springs Reintegration Unit in recent months, drawn through the Kibwezi Forest by our ex-orphans Lima Lima and the other female elephants at Umani. During their flirtations, these bulls don't seem to mind or care about our orphans' more unusual route to the wild – the 94 wild-born calves we know of are testament to this! One of these offspring is Moon, delivered last month. Meet her:

Shhh, the babies are sleeping! (Sulwe closest, Lenny fidgeting behind, and Zigi is seen at the end) With three infants in the mix, our Umani herd now has a decidedly different rhythm. As adults, elephants sleep the least of any mammal, logging as little as two hours a day. But babies need rest — and lots of it! Sulwe, Lenny, and Zigi are just a few months old, requiring naps throughout the day. When they show signs of sleepiness, the entire herd stops and circles round, so they can rest safely and soundly. Born to orphans we rescued, raised, and rewilded, wild-born babies are testament to the success of our Orphans’ Project. Meet them all at:

No nonsense Sulwe reminds us that the matriarchy rules — even among the smallest elephants! Lenny tries to clamber atop her, she puts the tiny bull in his place, and then cements the matter with a move that speaks a thousand words! Established in 2014, our Umani Springs Reintegration Unit is fast turning into a crèche, as the first orphans raised here are growing up, coupling with wild bulls, and having their own calves. Lenny and Sulwe are two of the latest additions. Although they aren’t related by blood, these calves will grow up in the wild as siblings — not unlike their mothers, Lima Lima and Sonje, orphans who were raised side by side in our care.

He might be the youngest of the wild-born babies in Umani Springs, but Zigi’s not to be ignored. If we didn’t know better, we’d say he was photo bombing this clip, using Sulwe as a climbing frame for the purpose! We’ve met 76 calves, born to orphan elephants we’ve rescued, raised, and rewilded. You can meet them too at:

For Sulwe and Zigi, sleeping is very much a one-way street. When they settled down for a midday nap, lovely Amali stood over them, guarding the babies as they slept. But a few minutes later, when Amali wanted to take a quick siesta, the babies did everything they could to disrupt her. They clambered and crawled, tussled and tumbled, using Amali as their personal jungle gym. She seemed totally unfazed — being a nanny is tiring work, and she needed the rest! Sulwe and Zigi are all SWT ‘grandkids’ — wild calves born to orphans we rescued, raised, and reintegrated back into the wild.

When orphaned elephants lose their mothers, they lose everything. That’s where we step in. Our Keepers guide them, as their lost mothers would have done, hand-feed bottles of milk and even sleep bedside them. Walking, side by side, until the orphans are ready to return to the wild. Adopt an orphaned elephant in our care and you can become a part of their family, helping us to provide care, comfort and protection. Adopt for yourself at:

Although they aren’t related by blood, Sulwe and Zigi will grow up in the wild as siblings – not unlike their mothers, Sonje and Zongoloni, orphans who were raised side-by-side in our care. And just like sibkings, they bicker! The two spent spent most of April working out who outranks whom. Tail-pulling, pushing games, the occasional full overreaction. Zigi has been finding his strength, and Sulwe – four months older – is starting to realise he's catching up. Meet more members of our extended elephant family, each a little miracle in their own right:

In the wild, they have their mum's help. In our care, the rescued orphan #elephants have their surrogate parents - the Keepers. Encouraging baby elephants to eat greens, and showing them how to pick and pluck them, is all part of the support journey.

From tiny orphans in need to wild-living families, we support elephants every step of their lives. Elephant conservation is not the work of a moment, but a monumental, multi-generational commitment. The lifespan of an elephant mirrors our own. As we nurture the orphans of today, we are working on the bigger picture — securing entire landscapes, safeguarding wild lives, and tackling root threats like poaching, habitat loss, and human-wildlife conflict — to secure a future for all elephants. To date, we have rescued over 300 orphaned elephants and welcomed 77 wild grandbabies of our Orphans' Project. Our fast growing elephant family tree is a testament to the success of this 'big picture' conservation work. Every life saved, every wild baby born, is a result of thousands of kilometres patrolled by rangers, countless hours flown by pilots, long days and sleepless nights worked by teams in the field. Will you become part of the bigger picture? Join us this #WorldElephantDay (and every day) in protecting Kenya's elephants — become a donor or adopt an orphan:

Born to an orphaned elephant we rescued as a calf after her mother was killed by poachers, raised at our Nursery, and rewilded in the Kibwezi Forest, baby Zigi is a true miracle — a symbol of everything your support makes possible.

Baby elephants are full of bluster. This time, it was Lenny’s turn to play king of the forest! Ten years ago, our Umani Springs Reintegration Unit didn’t even exist. Now, it’s fast turning into a crèche, as the first orphans raised there are growing up, coupling with wild bulls, and having their own kids. Lenny, alongside fellow babies Sulwe and Zigi, are the latest additions to our extended elephant family. Meet our extended elephant family:

Let's enjoy Zigi seizing an opportunity to bug Lenny! Initially, Lenny was determined to ignore him, but the younger bull tailed him, pulled his ears, and generally made himself such a nuisance that he had to engage. The antics that ensued even caught the attention of rescued orphan Kapei, who usually can’t be bothered to intervene in baby play! Lenny and Zigi are two of 77 calves born to orphans we rescued, raised, and rewilded. These elephants are the greatest testament to the success of our Orphans’ Project — showing how saving one life can pave the way for generations to come. Meet our wild-born calves:
