Alamaya arrived in 2015 – tail bitten off, ravaged by hyenas, barely alive. He is 12 years old now. A wild elephant finding his place in the Kibwezi Forest, on his own terms. The Maa word for brave is Alamaya. Discover Alamaya’s story: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/alam...
Lasayen's story begins at a watering point. In 2014, a one-month-old was found in a community-dug well in Samburu, left behind by his herd. Now eleven, he heard the call of the wild last year – but turned up in January 2026, and again In February. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/lasayen
Lenny, Sulwe, and Zigi — born to ex-orphans Lima Lima, Sonje, and Zongoloni in the last 15 months. The rains have arrived. This is their second green season. The Kibwezi Forest looks very different to last month — and they are making the most of it. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/keepers-diar...
A short trunk has never slowed Ashanti down. In March, she lay on her side in a wallow – in her element. Later in the month, she climbed to the summit of Msinga Hill, then embraced pal Baraka, trunk entwined, at the water trough. Discover her story: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/asha...
Every morning, our Keepers walk out with the herd. Manda explored for ten months. When he was ready to come home, he knew exactly where to find his way back. The path was already there. For Toto, Natibu and Mwinzi, that familiarity is just beginning. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates...
Quanza's mother and two sisters were gunned down by poachers in 2012. She came to us deeply traumatised. For years, she kept herself to herself. Now she is one of our finest leaders. Healing cannot be rushed. Her story: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/quanza
Mwana would win the award for best big sister. In one month, our Keepers watched her referee a tug-of-war, lead the Nairobi trio on walks, and let little Lenny clamber all over her – all at two years old. The first grandchild of Umani. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates/murera-baby-mwana
"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
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.
Kinyei was spotted by tourists in the Mara in 2018, precariously alone near a pride of lions. She found a family as one third of our Kaluku trio – the founding orphans of our Kaluku Neonate Unit – and is now growing up at Ithumba. Her story: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/kinyei
