First impressions count. When our Keepers meet fragile, vulnerable orphaned rhinos for the first time, they maintain a calming, protective, and comforting presence. This is one of Tytan’s first moments at the Nursery – after his dramatic rescue following his mother's tragic cliff fall. Still rather wild-eyed, but slowly... warming up – scratches are the way to a rhino’s heart! Day and night, someone sat vigil with him, until his nerves and suspicions had evaporated and turned into half-hearted snuffles and snorts. He's now the gentlest black rhino our Keepers have ever seen at his age. (Following his recovery, Tytan now spends most of his day exploring Nairobi National Park – his future home!)

We bet you've never thought about what a rhino sounds like. While these squeaking babies are undeniably adorable, their vocalisations are part of a surprisingly effective rhino "language". Tytan communicates constantly with his Keepers through huffs, puffs, snorts, and squeaks. Each sound carries meaning. Black rhinos may not trumpet like elephants or roar like lions, but their vocal repertoire is rich and nuanced. Keepers learn to interpret every sound, understanding when Tytan's content, anxious, playful, or simply announcing his presence to anyone within earshot. Listen carefully next time you encounter this squeaking little gentleman – he's got plenty to say! Our newest rhino rescue, discover how you can support his recovery and rewilding:

Every morning at first light, the Nursery herd walks out of their night-time stables and into Nairobi National Park to browse. They filter past black rhino Maxwell's stable and out to the forest. The route and pace vary day to day. Their daily walks have been a little more subdued of late. We've been having thunderstorms recently, and orphaned elephants Wamata, Kipekee and Daba aren't fans of the loud noise; they've been rumbling in discontent. But on this day, there's a pep in their step as they hurry to their greens! Read our Keepers' Diaries for an insight into their world:

A little life saved - thanks to you. Our Canine Unit set out on a training exercise - and ended up helping to rescue Daba! When they spotted him, forlorn and lonely, they knew immediately something was wrong. Hours later, and with the help of rangers, they established he was an orphan. And a rescue began. Today, Daba is experiencing the joy of family once again, as part of our human-elephant herd. His Keepers describe him as a gentle soul, and as he continues to recover from his ordeal of being alone for so long, glimmers of a more mischievous side are emerging! From his rescue to his recovery, every step of Daba’s journey has been funded by donor support. But his story is not over yet. Learn how you can adopt him and support his care, and receive monthly updates throughout the year:

Precious cargo onboard! This was Arthi’s rescue ride to safety — he’s a small elephant, but it was a tight squeeze nonetheless. Arthi had been found alone by our pilot in the dense Tsavo bush back in August. At approximately one year old, the distressed baby faced starvation and predation without his herd. He actually enjoyed two rides in our aircraft - landing first at our Kaluku Neonate Nursery for an overnight pitstop, before boarding another flight to our Nairobi Nursery. We named him Arthi – a twist on the Athi River, near where he was found. Incredibly, Arthi's rescue would lead to not one, but two lives saved. On the way to collect him, our pilot spotted an adult bull with a severe limp. They made a note of his location, and following Arthi's rescue, they returned and successfully treated the bull. But back to Arthi...This sweet boy is the newest orphan to join our adoption program. Become one of his first adopters: #RescueRaiseReintegrate

A routine anti-poaching patrol. A tiny calf spotted alone in the Tsavo bush. Two pilots watching from the air for nearly two hours, hoping his family would return. They never did. Today, Arthi turns two. In this video from the month of his rescue, he was still finding his feet at the Nursery – getting used to his Keepers, his new herd, and the safety of knowing where his next meal would come from. Now he's an easygoing, independent young bull who enjoys doing his own thing but appreciates the company of gentle friends. He prefers play-wrestling with Taroha and Olomunyak over rougher characters like Pardamat – and that calm, confident nature has made him a favourite among the Nursery herd. His rescue led to another life saved that day. Two for the price of one. Happy birthday, Arthi. Adopt Arthi:

Our proverbial door is always left open for the ex-orphans to come visit. After eight months away, Chemi Chemi just sauntered in! We rescued Chemi Chemi in June 2009 from Loisaba Conservancy – a young bull, eight months old, in desperate need of food and company. Brought to Nairobi where we gave him one-to-one care from our Keepers and the comfort and company of a new herd, he recovered. When he outgrew the Nursery, he graduated to our Ithumba Reintegration Unit alongside his bull friends – and the rest, as they say, is history. Nineteen years on from his rescue, Chemi Chemi is wild. Those friendships from his Nursery days and the bonds forged with his Keepers are still going strong – he still drops by our Ithumba Unit every few months. Wondering how we know its him? Check out his raggedy, holey ears, all unique identifiers of our beloved bull.

Breakfast for Bumpy. He's one of our newest orphans, at our Kaluku Neonate Unit in Tsavo. His mother was killed – likely defending him in a territorial fight – and he spent at least a day alone beside her before the Kenya Wildlife Service brought him in. He's a baby hippo. Hippos start their lives in water and learn to nurse beneath the surface, diving and resurfacing for breath between sips. Bumpy's bottle feeds are easier – no diving required. He has a long road ahead. Adopting Bumpy helps fund his milk, his Keepers, and the years of care between now and his return to the wild. Adopt Bumpy:

That distinctive hooked upper lip? It's the hallmark of a black rhino. Chamboi demonstrates it beautifully here. Unlike white rhinos, whose wide, flat mouths are built for grazing grass, black rhinos have a prehensile lip perfectly designed for browsing – plucking leaves, twigs and shoots from bushes and trees. Chamboi is one of 5,500 black rhinos left in the world. From a tiny, fragile orphaned infant, he has grown into a hulking teenager who will one day return to the wild. Become a part of his rewilding story and adopt Chamboi for yourself or a special someone:

A throwback to baby Chamboi. When he first came to our Kaluku Neonate Unit in Tsavo, our orphan black rhino fit easily under a Keeper's arm. He took comfort from scratches in the early days – behind the ears, along the flanks, all the spots a Keeper learns by heart. He's much bigger now. Endlessly curious, off investigating every scent on the wind, happiest in the mud bath with Gruff the buffalo. But some routines stay the same and he still finds his Keepers at the end of the day. Find out what Chamboi looks like now, and how you can adopt him:

After spending his entire childhood in silence, that day changed everything. As the hearing device is switched on, his world fills with sound for the very first time. And the first voice his small, trembling ears hear is his mother’s. The same voice that sang to him, prayed over him, and waited patiently for this moment. In an instant, his eyes light up. Her tears fall. And a new chapter begins, one filled with sound, love, and a bond deeper than words.

Yesterday, we introduced you to our newest addition, Bumpy the orphaned hippo. This was his flight down to Kaluku. He was a perfect passenger – he scrambled right into Keeper Joseph's lap and spent most of the trip chattering in little hippo grunts! Bumpy is very new to the fold – he was rescued over the weekend. His mother appears to have died in a territorial fight, likely defending her baby's life. Now, Bumpy has a family with us and a wild future ahead.

There is something unmistakably regal about Alamaya these days. It is hard to square with the calf who arrived at the Nairobi Nursery in March 2015 – tail bitten clean off, injuries so severe his Keepers could barely assess the full extent of them. He had survived a night in the Mara alone, ravaged by hyenas, and made it to us by the narrowest of margins. He is 12 years old now. Still a fixture of the Umani Springs herd, still returning to the unit he knows as home – but increasingly on his own terms, as a wild elephant finding his place in the Kibwezi Forest. The Maa word for brave is Alamaya. His Keepers chose well. Discover Alamaya’s story:

Tali is growing stronger every day. After being found alone in the wilds of northern Kenya, Tali finally has the care and companionship he deserves. Rescued in February, he arrived at our Nairobi Nursery in a worrying state — gaunt, riddled with parasites, and incredibly weak. But elephants are creatures of family, and with specialist care and the presence of the other orphans, especially Mzinga and Nyambeni, we were able to bring him back from the brink. Read his story, and support his future with an adoption, at: #FosterFriday

It's hard to believe Chamboi was once so small our team could easily carry him in their arms. He used to squeak constantly for reassurance and comfort, but today - he's a teenager with a strut that is full of confidence! Why was he so small? Well Chamboi was rescued as a newborn in September 2023 – found alone by rangers near a waterhole in Tsavo West at barely a day old, his mother nowhere to be found. We brought him to Kaluku, so he could grow up and reintegrate back into the same ecosystem he was rescued from. He's still on that journey, growing up among orphaned elephants, Pips the giraffe and an assortment of other orphaned animals. But as black rhinos are want to be, Chamboi keeps to his own beat. He likes long walks, unhurried mud baths, a midday sleep, and afternoon play. Nearly always in that order. Around 6,788 black rhino remain in the wild, so every animal saved (and rewilded) counts. Become a part of his story by adopting him, and your adoption can help fund his milk, care and Keepers:

That moment when you're full, cosy and entering a food coma? Maxwell has that too. As black rhinos are wont to do, he runs a fairly strict routine: wake up, a breakfast of champions (lucerne pellets), mud bath, tour of his boma, nap time in the sun. And, on occasion, apples and bananas – which left him looking very blissed out. Maxwell is 24 years old, completely blind, and the sole permanent resident of the Nairobi Nursery – his condition means he wouldn't survive in the wild alone. He lives alongside the orphan elephants in the middle of Nairobi National Park, in his own enclosure surrounded by the sounds and smells of the forest – with occasional trunked visitors at his gate too! He's earned the treat, don't you think?

Baby Barong came to play 🐾 This teeny tiger spent his first day out of the den with mom and had a roarsome time. At a little over two months old, Barong is growing into his paws and weighs in around 15 pounds.

There are defining moments in every collector's journey, and today is one of them for me. The Pella Collection has acquired 13 of Modest absolute iconic 1/1 works and two of his grail OTP editions all from the original minter, CryptoTaxGuy (who alongside sqda helped me discover Mod's works). I have been following m0dest for over a year now, and I consider him one of the brightest and most innovative lights in our space. His relentless melding of art and blockchain technology is second to none in my view. Thank you to CTG for passing on the baton and to Modest for his epic creations and his dedication to his craft. Our community is a richer place because of both of you🖤
