At the edge of Nairobi National Park, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust allows visitors to see adorable baby elephants and rhino orphans being fed. It's a great way to see the babies up close and to learn about how the trainers care for them and eventually reintroduce them into the wild. The center is run by Daphne Sheldrick, the wife of the late David Sheldrick, who was instrumental in creating the Tsavo National Park. Daphne invented the first milk formula that could be given to baby elephants (babies can die within a day without milk). Her remarkable story can be read about in her book Orphans of Tsavo. Daily 11 am-noon. Free, but donations requested. Magadi Road (go through the Maintenance gate and follow the signs to parking area), Nairobi. Phone 890-053.
