Pardamat finally has two tiny tusks! While most elephants start growing tusks around the age of two, Pardamat's are only appearing now, at the age of four. His partner-in-crime, Olomunyak, was an early bloomer, and his small-but-substantial tusks have given him plenty of confidence to take on his older... show more

Late tusks, zero hesitation. Pardamat turned up to the sparring match like he’d been sharpening them in secret.

Pardamat is the one that stopped for a snack mid-play. ‘Playing, playing, playing, stop for a snack, playing, playing’. Cutie Patooties! ❤️

Worth the wait, Pardamat, those little tusks are a proud milestone after such a hard start.

Olomunyak has taken on a new role: the Nursery’s self-appointed baboon chaser. The most playful boy in the herd never turns down a game or a challenge. He will happily take on Taroha and Pardamat at once in a wrestling match, so a troop of baboons is simply too good an opportunity to pass up. Rescued from human-wildlife conflict in 2024, his biggest worry these days is deciding who to chase next. Adopt Olomunyak and become part of his journey:

Mzinga, Pardamat, Kerrio, Taroha, and Olomunyak are headed out for a new day of adventure and exploration in Nairobi National Park. For these young orphans, every day is a step closer to reclaiming their place in the wild. But it'll be some years yet, with plenty of lessons still to be learned and new chapters ahead of them in Tsavo. You can be a part of their stories through an adoption, learn how you can bring an elephant 🐘 into your life at: #FosterFriday

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! Now at our Kaluku Unit, you can read Toto’s rescue story - and choose to support his journey - at

At all our reintegration units the focus is on supporting the orphans as they transition back to the wild. For the female elephants this leads on to starting a family of their own. To date, we know of 77 calves born to elephants we’ve rescued and raised: their wild-living mothers choosing return, so that we might share in their joy. Three of the births in the last year have been in Umani. Babies Sulwe and Zigi, under the watchful gaze of mothers Sonje and Zongoloni, are two of them. Your support helps us rescue orphans, who in turn herald a next generation of elephants. Meet them at:

Taroha has never thrown his weight around. He's the biggest bull in our Nursery, but unlike the more bolshie members of the herd (Pardamat, we're looking at you), he's polite and big-hearted. Our calm, polite boy has always been this way – as this throwback filmed in 2023 goes to show. He has tusks now, but never uses them aggressively – he leads through calm, not force. He trunk-touches newcomers Daba and Alia regularly while they browse. He lets younger orphans climb all over him during dust baths. When Pardamat and Olomunyak's wrestling matches turn serious, Taroha watches from a distance – stepping in only if needed. Meet Taroha:

Reality... Christmas of the defenders of Ukraine. Faces of war. Faces of heroes. These people lived the same peaceful life as millions of people. Until Russian fascists came to their home, who began to bomb and destroy their cities, their people, their country, their families. And they were forced to take up arms to protect the most valuable and important things in our lives. These days, sitting at the festive Christmas table, do not forget to pray and remember the heroes who are now far from home, far from their families, relatives, and children. Who are now protecting from russian fascists the most valuable thing we have: their families, their children, their land and their home, their freedom and life, their people. Pray that each of them will return home alive to their families. And support them in any way you can. Some of these heroes in the video are no longer with us. Eternal memory to the heroes🫡🕯️🇺🇦

A sight to behold, as our Umani Springs herd enjoy a drink together at the waterhole. This would never have been, were it not for lives saved many years ago: Orphaned elephants rescued and raised in our care, many with near fatal, and lifelong physical injuries. But here they are, thanks to the daily support of our Keepers and a global family of foster parents and donors. If you look closely, you’ll see two of the four calves born into this herd, growing up with their mothers - and plenty of nannies - by their side. Meet the herd at:

There is always one... and in our herd, that's Pardamat, who just can't resist making mischief. His recent antics? Holding Talek hostage in her stockade by blocking the door. Shoving younger orphans for no reason. Mounting anyone lying down. Mzinga is one of the few who can remind him of his manners. When Pardamat misbehaves, she corrals him straight to the "naughty corner" (basically away from the herd). Not much has changed with our agent of chaos since this video was taken in May 2024. Discover why Pardamat came into our care:

Arthi is trying his best to impress, but a rhino and a zebra are a tough crowd! 🐘🦏🦓 When he spotted Tytan and Notty strolling by, he couldn’t resist a little bellow and bluster. His audience remained completely unimpressed, so Arthi soon took the drama back to his friends! Three different species, one thing in common – they’re all orphaned animals growing up in our care until they’re ready to join their own kind 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.

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:

Aura and Mwangaza have the best of both worlds. When our orphans return to the wild, they team up with their friends and age-mates to form herds. Over time, these herds continue to grow and grow as younger orphans join the mix. When these orphans have their own calves, the herds grow bigger still. For Aura and Mwangaza, the offspring of ex-orphans Arruba and Mweya, this is the perfect world Dame Daphne described: growing up cocooned with nannies and aunties, siblings and cousins, roaming wild but with the added protection of their mother's human family too. Today, we honour Dame Daphne's birthday. If you have a favourite quote of hers, share it below.

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.
