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... show more

All the keepers are wonderful to watch. I admire their bonds with each of the orphans. It's part of what makes Sheldrick so special.

Such a great group it’s is like a cartoon in real life, the different animals going to school in the morning with the zebra holding the teacher’s hand!

So very precious. Just goes to show that those animals know the human who cares for them and feel comfortable in his presence.

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:

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 fits right in with the buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, and elephants who call Kaluku home. Like all the orphans in our care, he will rejoin his kind in the wild, when he is grown and ready. Find out how we rescue orphaned wildlife like Richard and protect the habitats they call home:

Where Peter goes, a flock of animals follows! He now regularly dons a special zebra coat, which the Keepers have worn since we rescued little zebra foal 'Bombi', after her mother was killed by lions (Bombi was wounded in the attack, but with treatment she is healing well). Bombi has imprinted on the coat, so she follows it everywhere, but just like Izera the eland, Bibi the buffalo, and Mr Bean the warthog, we suspect she'd now follow Peter anyway, as that seems to be the name of the game in Kaluku.

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:

Mr Bean is always on the go! From attacking boots – a favourite pastime – to sticking his nose into other people’s business, guzzling milk, and trotting behind Keeper Peter. But, we found his pause button: the little rescued warthog loves a neck scratch, and our pilot Roan has found just the right spot! Without our supporters, we wouldn’t be positioned to rescue & raise orphaned wildlife, or protect the habitats into which they are rewilded 🙏🏻

A full house at the mud bath! Mr Bean, Bombi, Bibi, and Gruff joined Chamboi for his afternoon wallow. Gruff even had a face-to-face moment with the big black rhino! This is Chamboi’s appointed time for a mud bath, but in the spirit of friendship, many of the other orphans often gather in. Best known for rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned elephants and rhinos, we offer a home to any wild animal who has lost their family. We nurture them for as long as they need us, then reintegrate them into a protected habitat, where they can live wild among their own kind. Learn more about our conservation work:

Early on, Dame Daphne Sheldrick discovered that the mothering of an orphaned elephant needs to be shared. Elephants can form over-attachments to any one individual and if their presence is missed, and orphan can fall into a deep depression and rapidly lose condition. It's why we have a whole team of caregivers caring for the orphans (that and it takes many hands to feed the orphans). It gives our Keepers extended time at home with their own families, and it means every orphan comes to know every Keeper, so that any one Keeper's absence is understood as a break, not another loss. We believe if we work together, we can have a bigger impact for wildlife. Find out how you can play a role:

Have you seen milk time at the Nairobi Nursery? Every three hours – day and night – bottles are mixed by hand, deposited into a wheelbarrow and hand-delivered to the herd. Each orphan has their quirks at mealtimes: Muridjo prefers to take up position beside Kipekee, Arthi likes to lead the herd to the bottles, and Pardamat is trying to headbutt everyone out of his way. And behind every bottle is a supporter like you! Gift the milk that keeps the herd going:

While Tytan enjoyed a mud bath fit for rhino royalty, Notty brought in the (one-zebra!) cavalry to ward off invading warthogs. All in an afternoon’s work for our favourite duo! The orphans are so lucky to have Keepers like Simon, who spare no detail for their little charges. Wondering about his eye-catching coat? That’s for Notty’s benefit: foals imprint on stripes, so any Keeper on Notty duty wears the designated zebra coat. Meet Tytan, the youngest orphaned black rhino in care, and support his journey back to the wild through an adoption:

Race into the action on #WorldWildlifeDay with this emergency treatment of a snared giraffe. It was a challenging operation — treating giraffes always is — but our teams, together with KWS, were determined, professional, and committed to the very end. The wire snare was removed, the wound treated, and the giraffe went on his way. This is our conservation work in action — work that happens 365 days a year, for 49 years and counting. The challenges facing Kenya's natural world are many and varied, but thanks to our supporters, we are making an impact for individual animals, entire species, and the wild places they call home. Donate today and become part of our legacy of protecting Kenya’s wildlife:

Kenya is rewriting its rhino story – and every orphan we rescue helps write the next chapter. 🦏 We’ve successfully hand-raised 20 orphaned black rhinos, with many going on to raise their own offspring in the wild. Today, four remain in our care: Maxwell, Apollo, Chamboi and little Tytan. This #WorldRhinoDay, help give the next generation a future in the wild:

At the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, every life matters. While elephants are at the heart of our work, our commitment extends to all creatures in need - from rhinos and giraffes to warthogs and antelope Among our most striking rescues are orphaned zebras. Naturally wary, they find comfort and safety by bonding closely with their Keepers - who wear special striped coats to mimic the pattern of their lost mothers [zebra foals imprint on their mother’s markings, we use the coat so that young rescues will imprint on it]. It’s a small gesture with a big impact, helping these foals feel secure, loved, and part of a herd once more.

Little Daba and Maxwell, sharing a morning hello! Maxwell is the most popular member of our Nursery herd. Because he is blind – the result of a congenital eye condition – he has a forever home with us and his own spacious boma to lord over. (Black rhinos are solitary by nature and very territorial.) But with that said, Max has appointed visiting hours. When he hears the elephants mobilising in the morning, he waits by his gate to receive them as they head into the forest. Very often, there is a queue waiting to have their moment with the black rhino. On this particular day, lucky little Daba got the first slot! Meet Max and support him through an adoption:
