Wangalla would like some tea, please! Really, she just wants to be as close to Keeper Misheck as possible.

Misheck joined the Trust three decades ago and has a remarkable way with elephants. Orphans adore him, and Wangalla is no exception. Since her rescue last November, he has spent nearly every minute of every day by her side.

His dedication has been vital to her survival. For a neonate orphan, every day is precarious, and Wangalla was a particularly hard-won case.

Olomunyak has taken on a new role: the Nursery’s self-appointed baboon chaser.

The most playful boy in the herd never turns down a game or a challenge. He will happily take on Taroha and Pardamat at once in a wrestling match, so a troop of baboons is simply too good an opportunity to pass up.

Rescued from human-wildlife conflict in 2024, his biggest worry these days is deciding who to chase next.

Adopt Olomunyak and become part of his journey: https://t.co/gDv6SJxNpg

Four years ago today, Korbessa arrived at our Kaluku Neonate Nursery. She was just days old, rescued after falling into a well in Meru National Park.

She was the smallest orphan in the Kaluku herd, but soon took charge of the group, starting with her sidekick, Toto.

Four years on, this little girl, affectionately known as “Little Frog” for the position she adopts when lying down, runs a tighter ship than ever. The rest of us just do what she wants!

How it Started for Ndotto → How it’s Going Today!

When we rescued Ndotto in 2014, he was the smallest elephant we had ever seen. We’re not sure how he lost his mother, but the resourceful little orphan inserted himself into the nearest group of similarly sized creatures, which is how he came to be found amongst a herd of sheep and goats. Luckily, he was in sympathetic company, and the rest is history.

Today, Ndotto is 12 years old and leading a wild life in Tsavo East National Park, but he remains very connected to the family who raised him. He continues to visit us most mornings, popping by to say hello before going about his day. When our Voi team wakes up and finds a large elephant peacefully standing outside, they know exactly who it is – sweet Ndotto, enjoying a few home comforts before he’s off again.

Because of your support, we’re able to give orphaned elephants like Ndotto the family and the wild future they deserve. To learn more about this special bull’s story, visit: https://t.co/P7Jr7ZCAwI

A peaceful day🐶

Photographer Shaaz Jung captured a rare and enchanting moment: An elephant, deep within the mist-shrouded forest, stood in quiet communion with a tiny bird perched on his tusk.
