Our little crèche! Lenny (right) may be a few weeks older and feistier than Sulwe, but this spirited young girl holds her own beautifully. Just a decade ago, Umani Springs was only an idea. Now, it’s a thriving Reintegration Unit — and an elephant nursery, with ex-orphans starting families.

In 2019, Kiombo’s journey began with a desperate call for help. Orphaned near the Maasai Mara after losing his mother with no herd to adopt him and without milk and protection, his chances of survival were slim. Now, Kiombo is a well-natured, impressive young bull — and a big fan of his greens!

Elephants don’t recognise ‘National Park Boundaries’ — they’ve roamed freely for millennia. But as human populations grow, their ancient routes increasingly overlap with community lands.
That’s where we come in. Partnering with local communities, our teams guide elephants back to protected areas.

In 2017, Emoli was rescued from the brink of death. Struggling from drought, he was weak and emaciated, but swift response gave him a fighting chance. Now thriving at Voi, not far from where he was found, Emoli’s journey is a powerful reminder of what swift action and care can achieve.
