Correction -- they are not being fed human baby formula, but rather a milk that was created by the Trust many years ago. It has everything they need and they love it.

@WildlifeMaryAnne 8 ай бұрын

Yes it was Dame Daphne Sheldrik that had actually created this formula for the orphan elephants and that was after quite some time to get the formula spot on.x

It baby formula sma mixed with coconut

@bepje18158 2 ай бұрын

Yes that's correct..the main ingredient is coconutpalm extract..baby elephant's digestive system cannot endure cow's milk

Thank you so much for sharing this video. You have captured many of the orphans whom I recognize from watching SWT's videos and monthly project update. I hope to visit the Nairobi orphanage nursery and the three reintegration units including Kakuka in the near future. Again, thank you.

You’re going to have the best time!! And I believe they just want you to wear closed toe shoes. I would say to wear something that you also don’t mind if they get muddy.

Hi! Are you looking for a packing list specifically for Nairobi? Or safari in Kenya in general? I do have a safari packing list that might be helpful: www.have-clothes-will-travel.com/ultimate-safari-packing-list-for-women-men/ If not, I'm happy to answer other questions about luggage/packing for Nairobi. I had a week in Nairobi and left a large suitcase with dirty clothes in it at the airport while I was on safari.

I would gladly pay $100. But how would I find the other nine people to organize the 10 person visit?

@chayacuevascohen2219 Жыл бұрын

Note: the orphans are fed a non-dairy formula (vegetable based only as cow’s milk causes gastric distress). The initial formula was developed by Dame Daphne Sheldrake through a trial and error basis.

I believe coconut milk is the main component

Hello I have adopted two elephants before my next visit but I would like to know how to have the right to a private visit at 5pm? Because nothing is explained on the site. Is it necessary to reserve somewhere? Thank you

@juliansydney9819 2 жыл бұрын

Also, could explain the private visit again please? $1,000 for 10 people - so $100 each? Would do it but wonder how you get to be part of a group if ten. Thank you

@HaveClothesWillTravel 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, it would be $100 for each person if you have a group of 10. The group of 10 you would have to organize yourself, though. (Sheldricks wouldn't do this for you.) Whether it's a group you are traveling with or maybe putting it in a travel forum to see if another group would want to split the cost.

The shelters for the care takers and baby elephants would suit a Fujian tolou design building these are ancient Chinese buildings the central court yard and ability to keep the baby's protected and learn to bond rely on one another building stronger elephants the care takers can live above the stall which is each elephants quarters by way of ladder/stairs this would also benefit there lives as well. House sitting the family pet/nanny these were l believe these were traditionally built from mud brick and stone as well as log timber framing.

It's like any large city - be aware of your surroundings, don't walk alone at night, and understand which areas you should and shouldn't go to. This is a more in-depth read about how to stay safe in Nairobi: www.worldnomads.com/travel-safety/africa/kenya/travel-tips-to-stay-safe-in-nairobi
