Reviews: Nairobi Elephant Orphanage visit

"It felt like a bit of a mob scene, but only because everyone was so excited to see the animals.

The baby elephants and the poor little rhino were amazing to see, and the informational presentation about them was very good." Read more about this whole safari

"Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is a wonderful organization and a visit to the elephant orphanage is an experience that everyone will enjoy. The only complaint here is that the one-hour public viewing at noon is packed with visitors, which does tarnish the experience..

In comparison, we were fortunate enough to have a private tour of the orphanage a couple of years ago, and understandably the more intimate setting and opportunity for interaction is well worth the extra cost. As such, we would not return to Sheldrick for another public viewing...

In summary, if you have the opportunity to choose between Public and Private, I would encourage Private... If you have never been and are unable to do Private, then certainly the Public is worth a visit." Read more about this whole safari
