Rescued at just one week old after her mother died in the Mara, our pint-sized princess Kaikai has been running the show ever since.
Try to lead her somewhere she doesn't want to go? She'll do an about-turn and take everyone in a new direction.

The wiggly thing on his face? Nsimba is still working it out. It flops. It swings. Sometimes it cooperates. Mostly it doesn't.
His mum Naipoki fell into a well twice as an infant. We raised her – and now she's brought her baby to meet us.

Twiggy update! Almost four years after we rescued this orphan giraffe – found trying to pass herself off as a zebra – she's found a boyfriend and rejoined the wild.

As a newborn, Lemeki was swept away in flood waters. Seven years on, the girl who once demanded all the attention is now giving it to those who need it most – trunk hugging babies, standing guard, shielding the little ones from bullies.

Not every orphan can walk the vast distances of Tsavo. Some carry injuries that never fully heal.
That’s why Umani Springs exists. Sonje arrived in 2012 with a shattered knee. Today, she’s a matriarch, a mother, and proof that a different kind of life is still a full one.

On October 14 Kinga, a 38-year-old female African elephant, was euthanized at the Poznań Zoo in Poland. She had fallen over earlier that morning while sleeping. Her leg had suddenly buckled. It took an hour for someone to notice that the elephant couldn't stand on her own. Another hour and a half

The orphans in our care have forged their own families, finding strength in one another. As deeply tactile creatures, they seek comfort in closeness – a trunk draped gently over a friend's back, simply being together. Family, after all, is who shows up for you.
Thank you for showing up for them.

A very good girl joined our Canine Unit this year. Bela arrived in Tsavo brimming with enthusiasm – and an extraordinary talent for tracking.
One of hundreds of dogs "interviewed" for the role, she stood head and tail above the rest.

Elephants are excellent swimmers – crossing deep rivers, using their trunks like snorkels.
Loldaiga preferred a different approach: throwing himself in like a fish out of water. Grace? Optional. Enthusiasm? Maximum. Splash radius? Considerable.
Now making waves at Ithumba.
