Sheldrick Wildlife Trust ~ A Legacy of conservation
Tucked at the edge of Nairobi National Park is a place where hope takes the shape of tiny trunks and flapping ears — where orphaned elephants are given a second chance at life, and conservation is more than a mission; it’s a legacy.
The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust began as a labor of love, born from the groundbreaking work of Daphne Sheldrick and her husband, David, the first warden of Tsavo National Park and an early, fierce voice for wildlife protection. Since its official founding in 1977, the Trust has become one of Africa’s most effective and beloved conservation organizations.
While most people know SWT for their iconic Orphans’ Project, their work stretches far beyond bottle-fed baby elephants. With aerial surveillance, mobile veterinary units, de-snaring teams, a canine unit, community outreach, and vital habitat protection, SWT is truly on the frontlines of wildlife conservation.
We are incredibly proud to step up our efforts in Conservation Tourism and support the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and give back to the wild places and incredible animals that have given us so much.
