A great experience. Where else in the world do you get a chance to get within touching distance of an elephant? (Do wear shabby clothes and sturdy shoes, you will get dirty, elephants like the mud on their hide, and they will rub against you).
These are orphaned elephants, cared for and looked after with the aim to reintroduce them into the wild (what's left of it). A commendable task. This organisation needs, and deserves, all our support.

We chose to adopt last year and again this year as a birthday gift to our daughter. It’s a great way to give back, learn about our gentle giants and get up close and personal. How many can say that have touched or interacted with elephants!!!? Lovely

I have always wanted to visit this magnificent place and today I finally did. The experience was amazing! Watching the elephants, I couldn't help but be awed by how cute and gentle they are if you haven't yet, please go. Only 500 bob for a lifetime's worth of experience.

It was amazing experience Adorable elephants. I haven't seen an elephant especially not a little one so close by,especially not running, eating, slurping in water or being fed from a bottle like a baby.

Clearly a popular attraction, since it's open only from 11 to 12, you should expect a LOT of visitors.

*Pro tip*: stand the furthest to the right from the gate. It may seem near to the elephant and from the elephants and you can enjoy them very close from youthere are water sprinkles which is near to this place for elephants

Initially I was a bit skeptical about this location as there were a swarm of cars descending on the place like flies on you know what. But after getting down to the field where the elephants interact with people and play and eat it was very nice. The Rangers were knowledgeable and explained each of the elephants stories and how they rehabilitate the elephants to be reintroduced to the wild. It's a fantastic organization!

Place for upkeep of young orphaned elephants who got hurt in the jungle. There is huge crowd and its difficult to make place for yourself to see them. However its for a good cause and you can touch them. The entrance is very green and beautiful. You pay a fee of 500ksh in CASH only without any receipt which to me means unaccounted money.

A great orphanage for the elephants.People here really enjoy the jumbos as they are fed with milk from other jumbos that are not their mothers.You can spend all day here.

11 am feeding is around 500 ks or $5 for the entrance fee. You shuffle in with a crowd and stand around a mud pit and watch 2 groups come in for a mud bath and the little ones get a milk feeding. Super cute to watch the interactions. Great for kids but they should stay quiet to not freak out the elephants. A better experience is to donate at least $50 and you get to see them all run home, see the feeding up close, and see them in the stockade. Totally worth it!

Awesome and humanitarian place. If you are in Nairobi I strongly recommend that you visit this place, you won't regret it. You can even adopt an elephant for 50$ and receive all the updates about it regarding its improvement or returning to the wild.

Wow what a beautiful and wonderful experience. You stand on the perimeter of the feeding area for the elephants under the age of 3. They drink milk from large bottles, swim in shallow pools of water and drink and play together. They do get close enough for you to touch them but they are shy of too much noise. The grounds keepers have a microphone and speak about why and how the orphanage runs. Please go - learn - enjoy.

Great place to visit and learn about the plight of modern elephants. Staff is focused on the elephants and not on the visitors.

Cost is 500 shillings, cash only. 11-12pm is the only open time. It's a fun experience, we got there 15 minutes early and there was already probably 100+ people there. So make sure you're early to get a good spot. Try to stand by the water hose because the elephants love it.

Very fun and interesting. You get really close to the elephants. You are able to touch them. You don't get to see any Rhinos. You go down a long road inside the park and can sit on benches just outside the entrance with the other patrons before you enter. Getting there 10min early is plenty of time to get a good spot to watch the elephants. This was in low season.
