How it started for Richard → how it’s going! This little eland orphan was found alone and in a bad way by Big Life rangers. We gave him a quick lift to our Kaluku Unit, where he was ushered into the heart of an eclectic, loving family. Today, Richard... show more

Peter and Brutus are on a very special mission. They're giving new rescue Richard (an orphaned eland) his afternoon bottle – and helping him settle in the process! After rescuing an orphan, we typically give them a spell of 'stable rest' so they can recover in peace and learn to trust their new family. During this decompression time, Keepers slowly introduce them to fellow orphans – in Peter's words, 'that way, they'll already have friends when they're ready to join everyone out in the bush.' Since this was filmed, Richard has joined the herd out and about, and thriving. Find out how we rescue orphaned wildlife like Bombi and Richard and protect the habitats they call home:

From fragile to flourishing — it’s hard to believe how far Toto has come. When he was rescued - brought to us in Ithumba by some of our ex-orphans! - Toto was frightened and alone. He arrived at our Kaluku Neonate Nursery in poor condition, requiring round-the-clock care, but even then with a big personality! Today, he’s one of the most steady and nurturing elephants in our little Kaluku herd — with a big soft spot for his pseudo elephant sister 'Korbessa'. This #TransformationTuesday, we celebrate Toto’s journey and the incredible support that helped make it possible. Be part of his story:

Keeper Peter has a rather zealous support team! His sidekicks and shadows, orphaned zebras Brutus and Bombi, take their devotion to the next level – keep an eye out for Bombi holding Peter’s hand, the zebra way! The zebras insist on being first out each morning, then the merry little gang heads into the bush with buffalo Mochi, eland Richard and little Ndawe, exploring, grazing and playing together.

How it Started for Ndotto → How it’s Going Today! When we rescued Ndotto in 2014, he was the smallest elephant we had ever seen. We’re not sure how he lost his mother, but the resourceful little orphan inserted himself into the nearest group of similarly sized creatures, which is how he came to be found amongst a herd of sheep and goats. Luckily, he was in sympathetic company, and the rest is history. Today, Ndotto is 12 years old and leading a wild life in Tsavo East National Park, but he remains very connected to the family who raised him. He continues to visit us most mornings, popping by to say hello before going about his day. When our Voi team wakes up and finds a large elephant peacefully standing outside, they know exactly who it is – sweet Ndotto, enjoying a few home comforts before he’s off again. Because of your support, we’re able to give orphaned elephants like Ndotto the family and the wild future they deserve. To learn more about this special bull’s story, visit:

Toto doesn’t hold back when it comes to greetings! This characterful bull, with beautiful eyes and his sweet little tusks, arrived into our care in the most incredible circumstances. In April 2022, one of our ex-orphan herds arrived at our Ithumba Unit with a tiny calf. While a number of our wild-orphans are mothers, this calf wasn’t theirs! They’d evidently encountered the baby alone and knew he needed help - where better than the home where they were raised!

Because when it comes to successfully raising orphaned elephants, tending to their psychological health is just as important as their physical condition.

When a new orphan arrives, our ex-orphans come home. In September 2022, we made an unusual call: we sent our newest rescue – a two-year-old orphan of drought – straight to our Umani Springs Reintegration Unit, bypassing the Nursery. Daylight was running out, Umani was close to his place of reintegration, and we thought the older orphans would be a good fit for him. Our ex-orphan Lima Lima had been away in the forest for three days, yet somehow she still knew... the day Kapei arrived, she walked straight up to his stockade and demanded the Keepers let her in. She spent hours with him, sharing his lucerne, before slipping back out. That formative moment set the tone for Kapei's recovery – from then on, he always knew he had a herd behind him. More recently, he has started to join them in the wild too, spending multiple days away from his Keepers at a time. By adopting, you can welcome an orphaned elephant, rhino or giraffe into your heart, and help fund the milk and Keeper care they need to return to the wild:

Today, we remember Richard Bresler, a jiu-jitsu pioneer and our father's first student in California. His legacy extends far beyond his achievements in the art. During one of our hospital visits, Richard shared this story of a chance encounter at Whole Foods with our mother. He explained that after commenting on the Gracie hoodie she was wearing, our mom took the hoodie off and gave it to him without hesitation, a gesture that resonated deeply with him. This heartfelt moment reflected her eternal gratitude for his tireless support of our family. In this spirit, Richard was allowed any merch from GU, any time, at no cost, and we never knew how much that meant to him until this day. We love you Richard. Your sacrifice and support will be cherished and remembered forever.

A breakfast of champions. Juni was rescued in May 2022 from the reeds at the edge of Lake Jipe, around three years old. Save the Elephants heard the rustling first; our pilot flew over to confirm there were no other elephants in the area and Kenya Wildlife Service greenlit a rescue. She was a drought orphan with an advanced urinary tract infection. Six weeks of recovery later, Juni walked out among our Voi herd of orphaned elephants as if she'd always been one of the family. And like all families, they have their meals together. This one? A breakfast of lucerne pellets, an important dietary supplement for the older orphans – particularly during drier periods, when browse is less readily available. One day, when she's ready Juni will hear the call of the wild. When that happens, we'll still watch over her, but instead of our Keepers, it'll be our pilots and rangers instead. Discover how donations are helping us save orphans like Juni:

Mermaiding with the sweetest hippo in all the land, water, and world! Now being cared for at our Kaluku Nursery, orphaned hippo Bumpy's story could have ended very differently. He was rescued in May, after his mother died – likely in a territorial fight defending her baby's life. He spent at least a day huddled by her body before the Kenya Wildlife Service found him and brought him into our care. You can become part of Bumpy's journey. Read his full rescue story and support him through an adoption:

This is Richard Abraham... One of the students that represented Aguata Zone at the state level during the Governor's Debate of 2021. Richard was one of the best speakers that they gave him the title of an "Honourable". This title was given to him by His Excellency Willie Obiano before he stepped down as the governor of Anambra State. He speaks so well and his accent is on another level. Such a bright and promising young guy. Our school was knocked out at the state level and we all felt bad. I lost my Mom in 2022 and somehow I lost communication with Richard. All efforts to reach him proved abortive. Recently, someone told me about him... Little did I know he was running from the world that failed him. I finally caught him around Federal Polytechnic Oko last week we were able to meet this morning. Richard was orphaned immediately after our Debate. Coming from a polygamous home, his half-siblings threw him out because they didn't support their father marrying his Mom. He did not write his WASSCE when his mates did in 2022 because there was no one to support him. He slept in uncompleted buildings living in odd jobs just to survive. One spectacular thing was he didn't turn to delinquent means which could have been the easiest step. He has held on. I covered my conversation with him... Please hear from the horse's mouth. I am soliciting for help towards Richard. He needs to write his O'levels. He needs to understand and life has not giving up on him. Seeing such a rare talent wasting away in the slums is heartbreaking. Please reach out in any possible way... Let him us prove to Richard that it is not over.... He is just starting and he will finish well. Below are his pictures and videos. Every other necessary information to prove the authenticity of my story is available. How I wish I am in a position to turn his life around.... Richard needs your help today. Please help us share or reach out. Share until it gets to the appropriate channel. He really needs help . 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Like elephants, orphaned hippos form strong bonds with their human caregivers. Bumpy is hooked on his – never happier than when he's paddling over to greet Keepers Festus and Jackson at the edge of his pool. After his evening milk bottle, he toddles back to his stable, flops onto the cushion beside his Keeper's bed, and sleeps deeply until the next feed. An orphan rescued by Kenya Wildlife Service, Bumpy is now growing up at our Kaluku Neonate Unit. Meet him and find out how you can be part of his story by adopting him:

While we're best known for our work with elephants, our Orphans' Project extends to all manner of species. This is especially true at our Kaluku Neonate Nursery in Tsavo, where an unlikely family has taken shape. There’s Twiggy the giraffe, who has appointed herself the unofficial nanny of the herd and likes to keep tabs on everyone, both human and animal. Bombi the zebra likes to 'supervise' veterinary operations at the airstrip, and Bibi the buffalo is growing up alongside them, learning the rhythms of the bush. Antelope of all sizes are cared for by Keeper Peter, and then there's Chamboi, our quirky young black rhino who arrived as a newborn. He lets out high-pitched squeaks when his milk is being prepared, an uncharacteristic but unmistakable rhino sound that means 'hurry up!' Each of these orphans arrived in need of round-the-clock care, specialist milk formula, and the unwavering dedication of their Keepers. When they are ready, each will live independently in the wild spaces that lie beyond Kaluku. Your support – on #GivingTuesday and everyday – allows us to say yes to every creature that needs us – not just elephants and rhinos, but zebras, giraffes, warthogs, and more. Meet our Kaluku herd:

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:

What does playtime look like in Kaluku? Imagine a raucous round of rhino tag — with Chamboi front and centre! Our spirited rhino calf loves a good game, especially when his Keeper joins in. Dashing around the compound, tossing his head, tail flicking with joy… it’s all part of the Kaluku Games. Play is more than fun — it’s essential: Helping build trust, confidence, and crucial motor skills for our orphans. And it’s not just rhinos who get involved: elephants, antelopes, and even buffaloes join in. Why not set up your own Kaluku Games to raise funds for wildlife protection? Host a sports day, challenge your friends to a backyard obstacle course, or get the whole family moving on a sponsored walk. Get started at:

When an orphan chooses life, we know they've turned a corner. And behind this choice is often a Keeper. They are the reason orphaned elephants heal – not just physically, but in the ways that matter most. Elephants are extraordinary readers of people. They know who they can trust, and they do not forget. In fact, we often say it is the elephants who are in charge of hiring our Keepers. When they give 'the nod', we know they've signed off. Keeper Joseph was originally part of our Canine Unit, but we soon discovered he had a natural gift with elephants. Kaikai agrees. You can support an orphan by adopting. Start with Kaikai:
