Kenya: David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Visit with Transfer

Description

Visit the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Nairobi Nursery, one of Nairobi's best-known wildlife conservation experiences, with private SUV transfers from your selected Nairobi pickup location.

The Nairobi Nursery is located inside Nairobi National Park and provides the first stage of rehabilitation for orphaned elephants before they eventually progress to the Trust's reintegration units in the Tsavo ecosystem.

The public visiting session takes place daily from 11:00 to 12:00, except 25 December. During the visit, guests observe orphaned elephants arriving for their midday milk feed and mud bath while a senior Keeper explains their rescue stories, care and the Trust's wider conservation work.

The experience requires advance booking and the Trust states that same-day bookings are not accepted. The public session cannot be delayed for late arrivals, so guests should reach the KWS Mbagathi Gate well before 11:00.

Meeting instruction:

Guests should report 30 minutes before the scheduled activity at the designated meeting point.

Important Notes

The public Nairobi Nursery visit takes place daily from 11:00 to 12:00, except 25 December.
Advance booking is mandatory; same-day bookings are not accepted.
Visitors should aim to reach the KWS Mbagathi Gate by approximately 10:30 to allow time for park-entry procedures.
The KWS park fee is separate from the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust nursery donation and is required because the nursery is inside Nairobi National Park.
Photography and video are permitted for personal use, while commercial use of Nursery content is prohibited.
Visitors should wear suitable outdoor footwear and clothing, and sunscreen and a hat are recommended; muddy conditions can occur during rainy periods.
Guests must not feed or directly interact with the orphan elephants; Keepers handle feeding and direct care.
