Listening about why David Sheldrick's Orphanage exists, what the reasons are for those little elephants to be brought in made me realize how important the visit is. You will learn about elephants and what you could do to help. The orphans were lovely and this is nice opportunity to see the elephants up close.

Really cool experience. Got to get right up close with elephants. They give a nice talk emphasizing that we need to reduce our need for ivory. Crowded, but worth it (I went on a Monday). The elephant babies are cuute.

Good place to learn about elephants and see the cubs. Session is short and only once a week. They only take cash payments and do not take mpesa which is rather odd. No price list just arbitrary price from the ladies manning the entrance and taking the cash. No receipts issued.

Beautiful to see these youngsters being fed and playing. There were too many people allowed in at the same time preventing great views, esp if you are short

There are strict time slots for visitors, but totally worth it for the hour Guides are very informative.. You get close to the baby elephants and it is a fantastic centre for orphaned elephants.. They are eventually released into the wild

A beautiful place to visit, a great elephant sanctuary where many lives of young elephants is restored. A take home message was human should stop using elephant products they are of no benefits and therefore we should never buy them. This will stop elephants poaching by not buying we cut the market and link of killing elephants.

A must see place. Open from 11am-12pm (1 hour). It was for 5$ entrance and a lovely, not expensive and non negotiable gift shop which supports animals for sure.
Nothing more important in Nairobi as this place.

The work the carers do here is incredible and seeing the young elephants feed and play is adorable. Get here by 10:30 at latest to make sure you get a good spot.

It is so touching to see elephants obeying the Masters. We learnt in visiting this place that we need the wild world for nature to be complete and fulfilled

Seeing these young elephants being raised and prepared to be introduced to wood families is breathtaking. During the showing, one of the caretakers goes through the names and stories of each of the orphans, showing how easy it is for a baby elephant to find trouble. The elephants are only exposed to the public between 11 and 12 each day so as not to allow them to become too comfortable with humans. This is a must if you are looking for a midday activity in Nairobi.

Definitely worth a visit when you are in Nairobi.Try and get there before 1030 hours because it is quite a popular attraction and it is open for only 1 hour every day to the public.

Very crowded but totally worth it. Be sure to arrive before 11 if you want to get a good spot to see the elephants, long queues. They really do take good care of the animals, it's an amazing initiative. You can see the baby elephants being fed, having a bath or just walking around so close to you, you can touch them. Totally adorable

Baby elephants are like baby humans with four legs, a trunk and no diaper to change. You WILL fall in love, like it or not. You've been warned.

One of the best experience we had in kenya. The baby elephants are such fun to watch and they come so close that you can pet them. At the same time you are educated by the informative talk that highlight the plight of these wonderful creatures. Well worth the entrance fee.
