Four days to save a life. In one of our most challenging operations to date, teams battled time, terrain, and rising tides to pull off an extraordinary rescue mission. Day 1: Two bulls had gotten trapped in mudflats near Kilifi Creek, hundreds of metres from solid ground. With darkness falling, we assessed the situation with the Kenya Wildlife Service and formulated a plan for the morning. Day 2: Extracting an adult elephant requires heavy machinery and very strong straps. As a bulldozer was bro

This is the impact of one life saved — a family of elephants, thriving in the wild. We rescued Nasalot (the largest elephant in the lead) 25 years ago, after ivory poachers killed her mother. When we were establishing our new Ithumba Reintegration Unit in 2004, we chose her to be part of the founding herd. She has been pivotal to Ithumba’s success, serving as a friend, mentor, matriarch, and mother to so many. Today, Nasalot is leading an ex-orphan herd in the wild and has three babies of her ow

Apollo, looking every inch an impressive black rhino! The tiny orphan we rescued six years ago is growing into a truly magnificent creature. Apollo is thriving at his personal reintegration unit in Tsavo. He is increasingly independent — although he still keeps close tabs on his Keepers — and reigns over his boma. True to his black rhino nature, he is becoming quite territorial and enjoys patrolling his fence line, protesting when wild elephants venture too close or hippos raid his leftovers at

Leave no elephant behind. It’s an ethos that elephants live by — they are incredibly loyal and will only abandon their kind in the most dire circumstances. It’s also a mission that guides our conservation work. This stands out as one of our most heart-wrenching operations in recent years. During the drought, a mum and baby’s search for water turned into a death trap. Hopelessly stuck, the mother continued to protect her calf the only way she could, shielding him with her trunk. Her baby was equa

An elephant never forgets — and this surprise encounter with an ex-orphan proves that it’s more than just a saying. During an anti-poaching patrol in January, our pilot landed in a remote part of Tsavo to meet up with rangers operating in the area. Just as the helicopter was preparing to take off again, an elephant emerged from the bush. ‘That’s Kilaguni!’ Taru Carr-Hartley, the SWT pilot, exclaimed. Rescued in 2009, Kilaguni is an orphaned elephant raised through our Orphans’ Project. Taru, who

Sheldrick Wildlife Trust on Instagram: "Wamata gets a perfect 10 from us! We could barely contain our laughter as these gymnastics unfolded. It was tempting to step in and help, but we knew Wamata had it handled. Sure enough, lots of manoeuvring and one unexpected headstand later, she stuck the landing. (In the morning, many of the bigger orphans sneak into this fenced area for some pre-forest browsing. Little Wamata was clearly envious of their illicit feast and thought her stout legs were up t
