An Ithumba First: One of our ex-orphan elephants has given birth at the Stockades! It began in the early hours of yesterday morning, as wild elephants and ex-orphans congregated outside the stockades. Just after sunrise, Head Keeper Benjamin heard a great commotion, followed by a flurry of movement. Amidst all the elephants, something new was now visible on the ground and its appearance sent the wild bulls running for the hills, ears flapping and trumpets blaring. In fact, everyone seemed startl

Enjoy a glorious start to your day courtesy of a stunning sunrise at Ithumba. It doesn’t get more magical than this!

The rains have arrived in Tsavo and that means the Ithumba Reintegration Unit mud bath has once again turned into a giant swimming pool, offering lots of splashing and snorkelling fun for the orphaned elephants. In fact, these are perfect conditions for elephant 'pool parties' across Tsavo, with a potential mud bath around each corner! Since these seasonal times of plenty don't last long, the orphans are making the most of every budding shoot and root, and making sure to explore new terrain. Saf

Our Ithumba Herd grew by three today! Larro, Mukkoka, and Naboishu have said farewell to the Nairobi Nursery and taken the next step in their journey back to the wild! In the wee hours of this morning, our trio of graduates left their Nursery stockades for the last time and boarded the moving truck. Aduba and Peter, two Keepers who have raised these orphans, accompanied them on the journey to Tsavo. They arrived at our Ithumba Reintegration Unit at 9 o’clock. At first, the threesome were quite b
