By saving one orphan’s life, we pave the way for countless others. Already, generations of wild elephants and rhinos walk Kenya because their mother or father was rescued, raised, and rewilded through our pioneering Orphans’ Project. You are part of our life-saving work. This holiday season, join our herd through an adoption as a gift for yourself or someone special. With a donation of just $50 for a one-year adoption, you will receive: • Personalised adoption certificate • Orphans’ Project upda

For all the trauma and tribulations we witness in the field, we are also constantly reminded of nature's resilience. This elephant stands out as one of our most remarkable examples. He was hit by a train many, many years ago. These run-ins rarely end with a life intact, but he beat the odds. Today, decades later, he remains a common sight in southern Tsavo, striding impressively across the plains. He is instantly recognisable because of his hind leg — which, incredibly, healed on its own, though

One of the greatest threats to wildlife comes in the form of a simple loop. Driven by the illegal bushmeat trade, snaring has exploded in recent years. Rudimentary yet lethal, these noose-like traps are anchored to a fixed point and left to catch any animal that passes through. Snares are as indiscriminate as they are deadly. While poachers set them to catch bushmeat, they can maim or kill any creature — from the smallest dik-dik to the largest elephant. — We operate 29 SWT/KWS Anti-Poaching Tea

Fortunately, help arrived in time. Roan spotted him during an aerial patrol, and the SWT/KWS Southern Vet Unit mobilised immediately.

This is a peek into the final moments of a monumental undertaking: giving elephants safe passage back home. As the dry season continues to bite, elephants (especially bulls) are increasingly tempted to venture onto community land in search of food and water. These jaunts can be disruptive and dangerous for all parties, and communities often go to extreme measures to push them off their land. That’s where our ‘aerial shepherds’ come in. It takes patience and expert flying, as elephants certainly

As the age-old adage goes, an elephant never forgets. This stunning, surprise encounter poignantly proves that fact. Last week, one of our helicopter pilots was flying an anti-poaching patrol in Tsavo East with the KWS Company Commander. The team landed on a road to meet up with rangers operating in this remote part of the national park. Just as they were preparing to take off again, an elephant emerged from the bush. ‘That’s Kilaguni!’ Taru Carr-Hartley, the SWT pilot, exclaimed. Kilaguni is an

Some elephants seem to think that walking backwards makes you invisible! A few days ago, we shared a video of Enkikwe tiptoeing past his Keeper in reverse as he tried to sneak into the Ithumba stockades. Little Olomunyak, who is apparently wiser than his years, employs the same tactic to see if he can steal Shujaa’s milk bottle. Keeper Kevin immediately clocks his choreography, but it’s an admirable effort! — Rescued a year ago, Olomunyak is one of the smallest members of our Nursery herd. An or
