We were collected from our hotel in an air conditioned car and taken to see the orphaned elephants Our driver was very experienced at getting through the traffic and we arrived in good time at the Trust. Kelvin chatted to us about Nairobi & was very knowledgeable about the wildlife centres we could be taken to see. The baby elephants are called in to be fed from huge bottles of specially prepared formula. Our driver Kelvin made sure we had the best view. The babies once fed were hosed with water making the mud turn into a lovely bath for them to play in. They were hosed, splashed each other and we had lefty of opportunity to take great photos.

My day with Kelvin to the two locations above was hands-down my favorite day in Kenya thus far. The day went off perfectly. Kelvin picked us up promptly at 8:30 from our apartment. We first went to the Giraffe Centre to beat the crowds. We then lined up at the popular Elephant Sanctuary well before the 11AM time to get up close and personal with the elephants. Afterwards, Kelvin took us for some shopping to a store that had an amazing selection of Kenyan items. We capped off the day with a late lunch in Karen. As expected, Kelvin was a fantastic tour guide/driver/host. He had insider, local knowledge to get us from place to place, and happily answered each and every question. If in Nairobi for a few days, and looking for a personalized experience, definitely be sure to reach out to Kelvin!

We were collected from our Hotel by Kelvin in the morning and taken through the Nairobi traffic with ease in a very nice air conditioned car. The traffic was horrendous but Kelvin was very knowledgeable in how to use the back roads and get us to our destination safely and in good time. Kelvin was very keen to keep us informed about Nairobi and its people on the way and pointed out various sights. We arrived at the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and did not have to wait long before we were allowed in. Kelvin took us to a excellent viewpoint so we would be able to take photographs and watch the baby elephants being fed. A great view of them playing in the mud bath with their keepers too. The babies are fed with huge milk bottles and they curl their trunks around the bottles to make sure they get the lot! then the keepers use a hose to amuse them as they play in the mud as its gets wet and sloppy. They roll around and have a dust bath as well. It was a wonderful sight and we so enjoyed it all. One of the keepers tells the audience all about the babies ad how they got there. We were allowed to buy a T Shirt there, and to adopt a baby elephant too. There were many books on sale all about Trust and the people who work there. The elephants have an assigned keeper who stays with them for the 5 or more years that the babies live there. Sleeping with them in their pens at night too. It was very hot there standing in the sunshine for a couple of hours, so take a hat and plenty of water. There are toilets there too. We went on to the Giraffe Centre and that was also an amazing place. We got there in good time before it got busy with the help of Kelvin. We were able to feed the Giraffe with special food given to us and the balcony is high so that the Giraffe's heads are level with you. There was lots of other parts of the centre to see and we enjoyed out time there. Toilets available there too. The whole experience so amazing, we will never forget our time there
