2. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Nursery

It is located on the outskirts of Nairobi National Park and was established in 1977 to provide a haven for elephant calves abandoned in game reserves and national parks. The baby elephants are bottle-fed by their keepers until they are about two or three years old.

When baby elephants are brought to this nursery, they are hand-reared until they are old enough to be released into protected areas.
