Talek doesn't mind a smattering of rain — but thunderstorms and downpours? That's another matter entirely. Last month she was pacing her stable and pushing the partitions between her stockade and her neighbours. Look at her now though. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/talek

One week with Bumpy! Like any baby, he sleeps deeply and often – especially snuggled up to his Keeper, with a tummy full of milk. Rescued last weekend after his mother died in a te...

Natibu and Mwinzi are heading out into Kaluku for their morning walk. 5,000 acres bordering Tsavo East. Things to investigate, things to eat, things to attempt to climb. A very good place to grow up. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/r/kaluku-herd
Last week, this chap came calling for Zongoloni. He was one of four enormous bulls that came courting. Mercurial as ever, she acted all aloof. Do you think she'll come around? We'll be reporting back in our Keepers' Diaries: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/keepers-diar...
Happy birthday, Losoito. To celebrate, she's having a party in the mud bath – and judging by the splashing, everyone is invited. When our pilot first spotted her in Tsavo West, she was two years old and keeping company with a large wild bull. sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/losoito
"Little Serenget has got her leafy kingdom, and she's ruling it one munch at a time." – Keeper Walter It was a routine water delivery that saved Serenget's life. Seven months recovering at Voi. Now out, settled, and Rokka rarely leaves her side. sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/serenget
Faraja is leucistic – a partial lack of pigmentation that lightens his skin and hair. Born in 2012, raised by us after his mother was speared. Today he lives wild in the Kibwezi Forest – often alongside his likely half-brother Jasiri. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/faraja
We could not believe our eyes when we saw Alia in the middle of the mud bath last month. She arrived in October 2025, withdrawn and slow to approach the herd. Mud baths happened around her, not with her. And then, the Keepers found her trunk-deep in one, getting comprehensively coated.
Ten years ago, Umani Springs didn't exist. Now its first orphans are having babies of their own. Lenny, Sulwe and Zigi are the latest arrivals. King of the forest and all. Meet our extended elephant family: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/calves
Ex-orphan Ziwa, who has been living wild for many years now, popped by to visit our Umani herd. The 14-year-old bull has real gravitas, but Lenny and Sulwe were unfazed. The little babies toddled over to join him in the mud and tried their very best to impress, before beating a hasty exit.
Hungry tummies wait for no one — come rain or shine, the routine is the same at our Nairobi Nursery. Mzinga, Taroha, Arthi, Nyambeni and Pardamat are sure-footed today despite the mud, eyes firmly on the prize: two bottles of milk, fresh greens, and a warm stable to sleep in.
Ex-orphans Lima Lima, Sonje and Zongoloni have a long-established habit of disappearing into the Kibwezi Forest for days – sometimes weeks – at a stretch. But they always come back to Murera and the dependent herd, and when they do, everyone loves catching up. Welcome home.

Policy shifts change access. Timing matters. If you’re just now looking, you need updated strategy, not old clips. Resources + referrals are structured. If you’re researching relocation or you have access to capital, this is for you. If you don’t have a plan or capital yet, you need one before you
A strong student-teacher relationship is key. When students feel safe, valued, and comfortable, learning thrives. Show genuine interest in their needs and what they find fun. Be yourself, build connections first, then focus on lessons. #TeacherTips #ClassroomManagement #StudentEngagement #Education…
Katarina, a great student and even better person, was helping a dog named Dona when an SNS ambulance ran over her, she was biking over 1000 kilometers to Strasbourg and now she has been hit in the head by a police shield, out of nowhere. Police forces should be ashamed. #Serbia #Protest #Student
