their daughter Angela Sheldrick.

The Trust raises orphaned baby elephants and integrates them back to the wild. The trust is geared towards the conservation effort to

help save the  remaining African elephant populations in grave danger from the illegal ivory trade.

Feeding the baby elephant with milk starts at 11 am to 12 am every day, at this time the public is allowed to come and visit the orphans.

After the feeding ,a brief history of every baby elephant is told and room is given for anyone who would like to adopt one of the baby elephant.

Watching these baby elephant feed is an awesome experience.
