Our Keepers move between units as elephants grow — Nursery, Voi, Kaluku, and Umani. When Mzinga arrived at our Nairobi Nursery, Sammy was there to shepherd her through her earliest, most vulnerable days. But rewind a few years, and he was in Voi, bonding with an elephant who still holds a special place in his heart: Murit. "I looked after him and he became very attached to me. We were both new to Voi, so we created a bond and leaned on each other.Whenever he heard my voice, he started shouting to get my attention. Even when I would take a few steps away from him, he would be right there, following me. It was hard to leave him when I returned to the Nursery after a few years, but by that time he was strong and didn’t need me. It makes me happy to know that he is big and independent and even starting to find his way in the wild."

Exactly one month ago today, we rescued little Zuri from a septic tank. While she’s settled marvellously into Nursery life, she’s still quite feisty and prone to overreacting. Nannies like Muridjo (seen here) have been a wonderful balm, helping Zuri calm down when she gets in a bit of a tizzy. See her work her magic here! If haven’t yet met Zuri, read her rescue story – and perhaps become part of her journey through an adoption: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/zuri

‘Lilo & Stitch’ creators Chris Sanders & Dean DeBlois have shared a piece of artwork honoring the late Daveigh Chase. Chase voiced Lilo in the ‘Lilo & Stitch’ film.

If a days’ old baby arrives in our care, chances are they might be assigned Joseph as their carer. He’s helped raise Toto, Korbessa and Lemeki to name a few, and each one requires a completely different approach. As he says “We have to learn their favourite things, what they like and what they don't like. I remember when Toto was a tiny boy and he started to scream in his room in the night. In the wild, elephants sleep outside with their babies. I realised that to be inside was new for him. I started to bring him out in the night, while people were sleeping. Sometimes I brought his mattress out, so we could sleep under the stars.”

We know of 93 calves born in the wild to our ex-orphans. How? Because they chose to bring their newborns home. Some make the pilgrimage from the wild within hours of giving birth. They walk back to the Reintegration Unit they grew up at, find the Keepers who raised them, and introduce the baby. Others might return a few weeks or months after. Each time, our Keepers are like proud grandparents, over the moon with happiness. Yatta has done it four times. Melia twice. This is the moment Tumaren came back with her newest baby. Meet our wildborn family, all alive today because we chose to rescue their orphan mothers: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/calves

Choka, five years old at our Ithumba Reintegration Unit, took exception to a small bird and aimed a tail swipe and a kick. The bird saw it coming and was airborne well before the foot arrived. Choka was rescued from the Ndara Plains in November 2021, found standing beside his mother after she did not survive the drought. He has been with us ever since, and is now part of the Ithumba dependent herd – usually a steady presence, occasionally provoked by passing wildlife.
