Chamboi the rhino and Twiggy the giraffe have been walking buddies for a long time. This evening stroll reminded us of a similar scene from exactly a year ago: Chamboi has grown outwards and Twiggy upwards over the past 12 months, but they still enjoy each other’s company enormously!

It's all smiles in Nairobi, as the rescued orphan elephants enjoy the spoils of the rains! We've seen trunk splashing, water kicking, and a lot of puddle based climbing games.
Weka looks proud as punch to have successfully pinned her friend Kamili for a three count!

Meet Maxwell, the black rhino who’s captured hearts at our Nursery since 2007. Found blind and alone in Nairobi National Park, he couldn’t survive in the wild — but with us, he thrives in comfort and care.

Chamboi is a critically endangered black rhino, part of a global population of just over 6,000. Orphaned as a newborn, he has a home and family with us for as long as he needs it.
When he's ready, he'll reclaim his place in the wild.

With the mercury rising to 35 Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) our Voi orphan herd are making an extra beeline to their mud wallow each day! Not only a great way to keep cool and protect their skin against the sun, it’s a lot of fun too!

Protecting this landscape takes a dedicated team both on the ground and in the sky.
Last year, our Aerial Unit flew over 303,985 km, monitoring wildlife , responding to emergencies, shepherding elephants off community land into protected areas, and ensuring Kenya remains a stronghold for wildlife.

For Chamboi, nothing beats a giant pile of red soil! With determined little horn digs, tosses, and rolls, he turns the mound into his own personal playground. A dust bath, a digging site, and a perfect spot for fun—what more could a baby rhino ask for?

Mbegu’s past could have broken her. Orphaned in tragic circumstances, she was speared and stoned by a frightened community. Now, she’s a leader among the Voi herd, guiding her peers. And, on the occasions where she's not in demand, a moments 'me time' at the dust bath!

Max breaks the mould, being our only longterm resident at the Nairobi Nursery. Rescued as an orphan in February 2007, he is irreversibly blind. For this reason, he can never be safely rewilded.

You looking at me! The answer is a resounding yes, because it's hard to take your eyes off beautiful - and cheeky - little Sulwe.
Born on Christmas Day 2024, Sulwe is the 70th known calf to be born to an orphan we have rescued and raised, in her case, mothered by Sonje.
