Lionhearted Luggard and brave Enkesha, two elephants orphaned due to bullet and snare wounds respectively, took a significant step towards a life back in the wild on 31st May 2020, when the Sheldrick Trust moved them to its Umani Springs Reintegration Unit in the Kibwezi Forest. Join them on this journey and be a part of the wonderful welcome they received from the Umani orphan herd.

Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and hand-rearing orphaned elephants and other animals that have lost their mothers, all too often as a result of human activity. But we do much more than this. Through our Aerial, Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary Units, we safeguard the natural environment and provide immediate assistance to wild animals in need. We also secure irreplaceable wilderness areas so that animals will always have space to roam and work with local partners and communities to ensure people and wildlife can live alongside one another.
