This was a high-stakes rescue mission set against a ticking clock: A tiny calf had fallen into a water trough and was stuck inside. Her mother stood by, helpless and absolutely distraught. As we have seen too many times in these situations, a mother elephant will only wait around for so long before abandoning a hopeless situation. The window was closing to extract the baby and reunite the pair. There wasn't much to do but dive right in — quite literally. We drove our vehicle as close as possible

Maxwell is taking a lazy start to his week! Max is a double survivor — he is a critically endangered black rhino and he is also permanently blind, due to a congenital eye condition. We rescued him as an infant 18 years ago, after our Keepers found him lost and crying in the forest. Because a blind rhino would not be able to survive in the wild, Max has a forever home with us. We call him our ‘Nursery patriarch’ — he is a beloved mainstay in our Nairobi family. To learn more about Max and support

This special moment has now unfolded 92 times and counting — an orphan rescued, raised, and rewilded through our care returns ‘home’ to introduce her wild-born baby to her human family. Here, Ithumba Head Keeper Benjamin reflects on our newest arrival, baby Imp. Her mother, Ishanga, was rescued 16 years ago.

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

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

Three Novembers with Korbessa! Nothing captures the passage of time quite like watching an orphaned elephant grow up. While she is still very much a baby, Korbessa is morphing into an increasingly mature, measured young elephant. Back in 2023, she was a newly rescued neonate — jealous when ‘big brother’ Toto stole the spotlight, and not afraid to show it! Last year, she was becoming stronger and more independent, though just as sassy as ever. This year, Korbessa is morphing into a new role: big

Spend one minute immersed in Tsavo — the most beautiful wilderness in the world. The Greater Tsavo Conservation Area is Kenya’s largest wilderness and home to its biggest population of elephants. Spanning more than 42,000 square kilometres — an area roughly the size of Switzerland — it encompasses three national parks (Tsavo East, Tsavo West, and Chyulu Hills), along with a patchwork of vast reserves and ranchlands. One could spend a lifetime in Tsavo and still not uncover all its mysteries. It

Lasayen takes the lead as six of the rescued orphans at our Voi Reintegration Unit head for their late-morning milk feed. Each enjoys two bottles of specially prepared milk formula, before moving on to the mud bath area, where they have individual decisions to make; what to do first? Enjoy a drink of water from the trough we keep topped up, fling themself into the mud wallow, play in the red dusty earth or simply start browsing? It's totally up to them and every elephant has their preferred rout
