Milk dependency in the orphaned elephants doesn't end at three, or four, or even five. Losoito is five years old at our Voi Reintegration Unit and still on bottles – up to 24 litres of specially formulated milk a day, fed every three hours, day and night. Keeper Walter...

Serenget is always the last to finish her milk. She is one of the younger orphans at our Voi Reintegration Unit in Tsavo and she has her own way of doing things. Rather than gulping from the bottle like the others, she takes it slowly – the Keepers fill the very tip of her trunk with milk, so she can pour every drop carefully into her mouth at her own pace. Two bottles takes her a good while. Every orphan drinks up to 24 litres a day, at whatever pace suits them. A gift of milk from our Wish List can help feed an orphan like Serenget:

Lunchtime at Voi, and there are lots of rumbly tummies. Like little race cars, the orphans speed down the track for their bottles. Long before these elephants can live wild, they depend on something simple – milk, around the clock, every day for years. Each orphan drinks its way through many bottles of milk a day. You can help cover a milk feed by donating:

Join Kaikai for a milk feed. Our quick-witted little sprite drinks up to 24 litres of milk a day, two bottles every three hours, around the clock. Feeds like this offer more than nutrition too, enabling quiet moments of bonding with their Keepers. Kaikai turned one last month and while browse makes up some of her diet, it will be many years before she is fully weaned. A gift from our milk wishlist can help covers a full day's milk for orphans like her:

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:

A day in the life of an orphaned elephant at our Kaluku Neonate Unit is filled with milk bottles, cuddles, mudbaths and playful games. Why? Because when it comes to successfully raising orphaned elephants, tending to their psychological health is just as important as their physical condition. Discover how – with care, caution and experience rooted in decades of raising elephants – we help shepherd the youngest orphans through the most difficult chapters in their lives:

How do our orphans spend their evenings? At our Nairobi and Kaluku Nurseries, each orphan returns to their own stable at dusk – a stable lined with freshly cut branches and browse. A Keeper sleeps on a raised platform inside the stable, within reach of the elephant's trunk - so should a trunk snake up reaching for comfort at any hour of night, they will always be rewarded. Milk is mixed fresh every three hours through the night and hand-delivered in two big bottles. At our Voi, Umani and Ithumba Reintegration Units, the orphans share larger, communal stockades and Keepers sleep nearby rather than inside. For more #BehindTheScenes, take a look at our videos (a great way to while the weekend away):

In the shadow of Tsavo's Msinga Hill, our Voi Reintegration Unit has been preparing orphaned elephants for wild life since the early days of Dame Daphne and David Sheldrick’s pioneering conservation work. Here, orphaned elephants take their next steps toward independence. Each elephant develops at their own pace, as they build confidence and learn from each other, and passing wild herds, the skills they'll need for life in the wild. Since Eleanor's reintegration in the 1960s, Voi has witnessed countless success stories. Some orphans choose to venture far into the bush, others return regularly to these familiar stockades; taking a drink and reconnecting with their extended human family.

Just. A. Little. Bit. More. Mwinzi sucks his trunk to get every last droplet of milk. He doesn't have to wait long until the next serving; every 3 hours, we hand-feed orphans of his age bottles of freshly mixed formula milk - day & night - to ensure their nutritional needs are met. In between feeds, they enjoy constant foraging too! Milk is a much needed & appreciated gift you can donate towards via our Wish List. Find out more:

Kaikai just turned one. She's our youngest orphan elephant at our Kaluku Neonate Unit in Tsavo – and still learning a lot about her wild world. The first year of an orphan's life is the hardest. Up to 24 litres of milk a day, every three hours, day and night – round-the-clock Keeper care for years. Kaikai has another decade of that road ahead before she's ready to return to the wild.

It’s tummy-o’clock and Wangalla is making her feelings known. She was rescued as a days-old newborn, so we feed her a specialist milk formula on demand. Over time, she’ll transition to hand-fed bottles of milk on a schedule – every three hours, day and night. We suspect that, then as now, she’ll chivvy the Keepers along if they’re even a minute late, and she’ll make sure to watch over and inspect the milk-making process too! You can adopt Wangalla today and help provide the milk, round-the-clock care and expert support she needs to grow strong and be ready for the wild:

When orphaned animals lose their mothers, we step in to care for them. We do everything we can to help an infant settle; that might look like sleeping under the stars on a mattress with them. Or offering a finger to suckle. For orphaned giraffe Pips, grooming did the trick. From providing comfort to milk, we guide them as their lost mothers would have done until they are ready to return to the wild. Adopt an orphaned animal in our care and you can become a part of their family, helping us to provide care, comfort and protection to wildlife in need. Adopt at:

Love isn't all about roses or grand gestures. At our Nursery in Kenya, it looks like a Keeper dragging a mattress onto the lawn so a sleepy (yet playful!) orphaned infant elephant can enjoy a rest. With over 300 orphans successfully raised to date, discover how we raise orphans with love (and lots of milk) so they can return to the wild:

When our orphans return to the wild, how do they find a herd? Slowly. Reintegration isn't a single moment – it happens over years. At our Reintegration Units in Tsavo and Umani Springs, orphans grow steadily more independent, spending days and then nights away, until the wild becomes home. Even then, many still choose return to the place and people that raised them every now and again. Most don't go it alone. They join herds of ex-orphans who went wild before them, or form their own, made up of other ex-orphans they grew up with – the friendships made at the unit become the family they live wild with. Suguta lives out in Tsavo with the same four friends she's had since the Nursery. As for who leads – matriarchy settles the way it does in any wild herd: through age, temperament, and the respect of the others. Herds aren’t one amorphous unit either, groups will splinter off and then rejoin, and these splinter herds will have their own mini-leaders. For more about how we reintegrate orphaned elephants to the wild, a process we’ve honed over nearly five decades, visit:

Elephant society is built on respect – and that was beautifully demonstrated at Ithumba today. When our dependent herd gathered for a drink, they deferred to their senior, Challa, a 21-year-old ex-orphan. Then, when the wild bulls wanted to drink, Challa stepped respectfully aside. While he towers over our dependent orphans, he's still a junior rank in elephant society. By watching Challa navigate these different relationships, our dependent orphans are learning the social etiquette they will need when they too reclaim their place in the wild. Every day, lessons like these unfold at our three Reintegration Units, helping our orphans learn how to live as wild elephants. Discover more:

Milk Monday, and Kenderi isn't waiting around. Watch him hurry in the moment the bottles appear – our Voi orphan wants his milk, and he wants it now. Kenderi is one of our older orphans, well on his way through weaning. His main diet is browse now, but milk feeds offer extra sustenance (and a moment of bonding with the Keepers he still relies on) as he continues to learn how to live wild. Milk carries him through this in-between stage. Milk carries him through this in-between stage, until the day he no longer needs a bottle at all. That milk is one of the biggest costs of raising an orphan through to independence. You can help keep it coming – take a look at our wishlist:
