Nowadays, the Giraffe centre continues to raise
breeding giraffes as well as being an education
centre for Kenyan youth and the headquarters of
AFEWs conservation work.

SHELDRICK ELEPHANT ORPHANAGE
Daphne Sheldrick's Elephant Orphanage is located
in the Nairobi Game Park, Kenya. It was originally
started by David Sheldrick, and the work was
taken over by his wife after his death. The park itself is too small to sustain any adult elephants, but
they take in orphaned baby elephants from all over
Kenya. The elephants are raised with the intention
of gradually re-integrating them into the wild.
The age range of the elephants can vary from a
few months up to three years. Each elephant is assigned its own keeper, who acts as a surrogate
mother and will stay with the elephant until it is released back into the wild. See the elephants being
fed and playing. In addition, there is a keeper there
who will give a talk about the elephants, where
they came from, how they are getting on, and how
some of the previous orphans are progressing.
The visit is a lot of fun and very educational and at
the end there is an opportunity to sponsor one of
the elephants.
