Interact with baby elephants A visit to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust allows you to engage with orphaned baby elephants that have been rescued from illegal ivory poaching. The wildlife sanctuary offers a close-up encounter with baby elephants as you watch them being bottle fed by their minders. It is a heart-warming and educational experience. Visitors are also able to adopt an elephant and donate to their monthly upkeep. View this post on Instagram We often cover the orphans’ milk machinations, but a lot goes on behind the scenes to bring these bottles to their mouths! Our founder, Dame Daphne Sheldrick, pioneered the first replacement formula suitable for elephants — the base of which is powdered human milk formula — and, decades after this breakthrough, orphaned elephants are still enjoying it by the bottleful. • • • Photos © David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust / Freya Dowson #DSWT #milk #orphanedelephants #whyilovekenya #magicalkenya #jointheherd #worthmorealive #bekindtoelephants A post shared by David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (@dswt) on Aug 31, 2018 at 6:46am PDT 4.
