On the 24th January, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust translocated two orphaned elephants, Kilabasi and Kanjoro, from the DSWT's Nursery in Nairobi to Ithumba, one of two reintegration centres operated by the DSWT in Tsavo East National Park.

Reunited with old friends, it is from here that these two elephants will mix with wild elephants and ultimately return to a life in the wild.

Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and handrearing 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, AntiPoaching 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.
