Begin your remarkable journey in Nairobi, where the gates of the Sheldrick nursery open wide to welcome you into a haven for orphaned baby elephants, survivors of drought and human-wildlife conflicts. Here, dedicated keepers tenderly nurture these precious souls, administering specialized milk every three hours and guiding them through enriching forest expeditions that impart vital life skills. Prepare to be enchanted by the joyous sight of playful mud baths and heartwarming feeding sessions that unfold before your eyes.

As the path unfolds to Voi, prepare to be mesmerized by the allure of the luxurious eco-lodge at Galdessa, one of the newest and spectacular accommodations, nestled alongside the tranquil Galana river. Immerse yourself in the wild yet luxurious ambiance, where wildlife sightings are abundant, and the symphony of hippos serenades you just beyond your doorstep.

Venture onward to Ithumba and indulge in the unparalleled charm of the “tree house” eco-lodge, nestled harmoniously against a picturesque hillside. Each secluded luxury tent offers a tranquil sanctuary amidst the treetops, granting intimate encounters with both orphaned and wild elephants as they gracefully converge at the water troughs provided by the Sheldrick’s. Delight in luxurious accommodations boasting 180-degree panoramic views of Ithumba’s breathtaking vistas, punctuated by the majestic presence of giant baobabs.

We’ll conclude our odyssey in Umani Springs, a lush oasis nestled within the embrace of the forest. Prepare to be captivated by the serene beauty and vibrant life that thrives within this sanctuary. Witness poignant tales of physically compromised elephants finding solace and sanctuary amidst the verdant surroundings. Be enchanted by the playful antics and endearing personalities of the orphans, leaving you with cherished memories that will endure a lifetime.
