Juni has worked out that one tusk makes an excellent storage hook. She balances a bundle of lucerne there and then, when she's ready and no one else seems to be around, she devours her secret stockpile. Rescued during a devastating drought season, little Juni arrived at our Nursery... show more

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:

Juni leads the ‘Voi Kids’ as they charge in for their midday milk bottles. Our focus then moves to Ashanti, as she takes her fill. An orphan of drought, she had the added disadvantage of a severed trunk! But, she’s never let that hold her back, even when browsing, where she twists her trunk around branches to pull off all the leaves. Read her story, and support her journey through an adoption, at:

This is how you get Kaikai to drink water (well, sort of). She arrived at Kaluku in May 2025 at one week old – a newborn rescued from Mara North Conservancy. Keeper Joseph has been with her since the beginning and knows that if you want to take her in a direction she isn't enthusiastic about, she will do an about-turn and lead everyone elsewhere. So, what to do on a hot day when everyone needs to stay hydrated? You don't ask Kaikai to drink water. You race her to it – then she thinks it's her idea! Become one of Kaikai's foster parents and get to know her too:

Today is Aoba's birthday! On the outside she's timid and short on words, but inside she's quietly carrying a mountain of complaints about the world. Slipping sharp little remarks out under her breath has somehow become a hobby of hers. Tell her something's broken and she'll take it on herself, first giving it a solid whack and only then patiently taking it apart if that doesn't work. She insists it's easier to expect nothing, since hoping only ever leads to disappointment, but the truth is no one longs more than she does for someone to treat her with warmth. So the moment Sensei shows her a little kindness she wants to lean in, and just as quickly she steps back, sure that she doesn't deserve it. If someone who once wouldn't have minded if tomorrow never came is now starting to look forward to the next day, that is surely thanks to Sensei. So today, let Sensei be the one to come find her first, so that instead of another meal eaten alone, she can share a warm one with you. #BlueArchive

Rescued in June, Kipekee lost her mother to human-wildlife conflict. She arrived at our Nursery in very poor condition, and it has taken round-the-clock care to nurse her back to health. Along the way, she has picked up a number of bodyguards - older orphans who have made it their mission to make sure this plucky little girl always has a chaperone. When Muridjo realised no one (elephant) had eyes on Kipekee, she immediately she ran over to check the little one was A-okay. This is just the beginning of Kipekee’s journey back to the wild — one you can support through an adoption:

Kihari arrived in 2011, a poaching orphan so weak she could barely stand. Her first days were touch-and-go. Now? She's a wild mother with a daughter of her own – and little Kiki has inherited her mum's spirited personality. Both roam across the Tsavo landscape, mother and daughter side by side, as it always should be. You can always spot Kihari in a crowd. She's the one with just one tusk – and now, one very mischievous shadow! Read about the moment we first met Kiki:

A model who worked at the same prestigious Milan agency as Melania Trump (Riccardo Gay) during the exact same years has literally no memory of her. In an interview she said: “I never noticed her. Honestly, I don’t remember ever meeting her. I have no idea if she actually worked that much… She was with the agency for about a year and a half. And then? What did she do? Where did she go?” Melania arrived in Milan in the early ’90s after a small, almost forgotten beauty contest in Cinecittà. Yet one of her contemporaries at a top-tier agency, who was there at the same time, says she has no recollection of her. It’s one of the strangest details about her early career. Melania seems to have left almost zero trace among the very people who should have remembered her.

Akina: 1, Kilulu: 0! While Akina was enjoying her milk, roguish Kilulu was hatching a plan to steal it. When a more direct burglary proved ineffective, he lingered behind her and then firmly bit her tail. Unfortunately for him, Akina was completely nonplussed. She held the bottle firmly, finished her milk, and then proceeded to enjoy her mud spa session. She knows how to handle pesky bulls! Like Kilulu, Akina was rescued during the drought. Quiet and quirky, she is a clever young elephant who always knows how to handle a situation. Discover Akina’s story:

Today marks Kerrio’s second #rescueversary! Her rescue was an extraordinarily challenging one. Upon her arrival at our Nairobi Nursery, a further twist in Kerrio’s story revealed itself: We discovered that her hind legs were all but paralysed, rendering her nearly immobile. But as we have seen time & again, miracles can happen. With time and loving care, Kerrio slowly regained full mobility. More recently, she has emerged as one of the Nursery herd’s mini matriarchs. Despite being a baby herself (she is only two years old, after all), she has excellent leadership skills and is a natural nurturer. Want to learn more about Kerrio?

Kaikai loves her little rituals, and the roadside dust bath cannot be missed. It has to be this very specific spot; no other stretch of road will do! She approaches at a sprint, then sits back and enjoys as Keepers David and Jonas spare no dusty detail. Kaikai is here today because of supporters like you. Rescued as a newborn orphan, she will have a home with us until she is ready to reclaim her place in the wild — a process that may take upwards of a decade.

Today is Chinatsu's birthday! In a free-spirited academy, she is one of the few dependable, level-headed students who upholds order and rules. She quietly takes on the thankless tasks no one else will, saying that someone has to do them, and she is responsible and earnest to the core. Her manner of speaking may seem stiff and cool, but in truth she has a warm heart that watches over others and worries for them. She simply cannot ignore anyone who overworks themselves, so her nagging about their health is her own way of showing that she cares. She rarely lets her feelings show, yet before someone she has opened up to, she will quietly offer a shy little smile. So today, why not be the one to go and find her first, and make it a day when you look after Chinatsu, who is always looking after everyone else. #BlueArchive

🗣️: Could you tell us about a moment that made you especially proud of her? Freen’s mom: what impressed me the most is that since high school, Freen has always been determined to take care of herself. She worked to support her own education and earn enough to continue studying at a higher level She learned how to save money and how to earn an income from a young age. During university, she supported herself financially. Whatever work she could do, she did it. Most of it was in the entertainment industry from beauty pageants, including Miss Teen Thailand, onward. She worked, studied, and earned money at the same time, all while taking care of herself.That’s what makes me so proud of her.Sometimes I think that if one day I’m no longer here, I won’t have to worry about her, because I know she can take care of herself.what makes me proudest of all is that she managed to balance work and school, and everything she achieved came through her own effort. She graduated with first-class honors, and as her mother, I’m incredibly proud. Our whole family is proud of her. She did an amazing job. #srchafreen‌

Today is Momiji's birthday! She's a bashful little librarian who watches over the quiet library. Just gazing at a pretty new book or a well-worn one steeped in years of history is enough to make her happy, but she's at her most serious of all when she's collecting her beloved manga, one precious volume at a time. When she's after some rare, hard-to-find edition she'll resort to all sorts of far-fetched methods, and she'll even fearlessly dive into dangerous places, sparing herself no risk at all. Pattering between the shelves with her tiny frame, she carries a greater resolve to protect the world's knowledge than just about anyone. She may seem timid and shy on the outside, but the moment her favorite manga comes up, her eyes light up and out slips a happy little giggle. Above all, she's the sort to quietly open up beside someone who accepts her exactly as she is. So today, let Sensei be the one to head to that quiet library first, and open up one of Momiji's treasured manga side by side with her. #BlueArchive

Wamata used to be the spoilt baby. Now she is blossoming into a caring responsible girl. For months, she was the youngest in our Nairobi Nursery herd – the one the older girls fussed over. Then Kipekee and Daba arrived, smaller and newer, and her role shifted. She has grown into it beautifully, although she still makes sure she is the centre of attention somehow. Case in point: she has worked out if she lies on her side, the younger orphans will clamber on her belly and even her face. Perhaps she'll be a mini-matriach like Kerrio in the making? Either way, we look forward to seeing how her role in the herd continues to develop. Adopt Wamata:

Lamuu is unrecognisable from the calf we rescued and milk only tells part of the story. We rescued her on 4 January 2026 from the northern coast of Kenya. She was around 17 months old, alone, with a snare wound around her front left leg that had sliced through an artery. The snare had been working as a tourniquet – KWS Vet Dr Lawi performed emergency surgery in the field just to keep her alive. Five months on, at our Kaluku Neonate Unit, the ring wound around her leg has healed thanks to daily wound care. She's put on weight thanks to three-hourly feeds and she's bonded closely with her Keepers, following her Keeper Lekoli everywhere – his shadow, our team calls her. Her best friend Subi is alongside her every day and she spends her day among our orphan-human herd. Lamuu has years of care ahead before she is ready to return to the wild. Adopting Lamuu helps to fund the milk, her Keepers, and the support structure she needs for a wild future. Adopt Lamuu:
