Two year old elephant Kiombo was sighted all alone in the Masai Mara, closeby to his location was a deceased female elephant that is suspected to be his mother. Without her milk or the protection of his herd, he faced likely starvation or predation so with the assistance of the KWS we stepped in to offer him a new home and family.

Watch him settle into the Nursery and meet the rest of the elephant orphans in our care, who warmly welcomed him in the fold.

Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and hand-rearing orphaned elephants and other animals that have lost their mothers, all too often as a result of human activity. But we do much more than this. Through our Aerial, Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary Units, we safeguard the natural environment and provide immediate assistance to wild animals in need. We also secure irreplaceable wilderness areas so that animals will always have space to roam and work with local partners and communities to ensure people and wildlife can live alongside one another.
