- Orphaned elephants, Ambo and Jotto, make the move from our Nursery in Nairobi National Park to the SWT's Ithumba Reintegration Unit in Tsavo East. This is a momentous day for the two boys, who having been rescued by the SWT and afforded a second chance at life, are now embarking on the next stage in their gradual reintgration back to the wild.
Watch their journey unfold and witness the wonderful sights and sounds that greet them on arrival at Ithumba.

Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and hand-rearing orphaned elephants and other animals that have lost their mothers, all too often as a result of human activity. But we do much more than this. Through our Aerial, Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary Units, we safeguard the natural environment and provide immediate assistance to wild animals in need. We also secure irreplaceable wilderness areas so that animals will always have space to roam and work with local partners and communities to ensure people and wildlife can live alongside one another.

Seeing the new babies unload only to be greeted by old friends with outstretched trunks will never get old. Happy tears every time. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be in person. Thank you DSWT for taking such good care of them. 🧡
My husband "adopted" Jotto for my birthday! I love that I am able to follow his journey and to be able to support this wonderful foundation!
My husband adopted Ambo for me for Christmas! Best present ever. Loved finding this video ♥️
You have a wonderful gift ,from a very good man thank you sir madam
I absolutely love what you all are doing to help these beautiful Elephant's. My wish is to someday to see a Elephant in person and touch one before I am gone I have MS I am only 49 years old I can't walk anymore I am in a wheelchair my hole home is in Elephant's
I hope your wish comes true
Great work team DSWT
Its like you can sense Dame Daphne looking over everybody and finally be able to relax because Angela, who in her own right, is the new Dame of the elephants. The keepers is looking so confident, they just know every little detail about every little baby and adult orphan ellie. It's such a joy to watch them grow.
Gives me the chills! Those precious milk babies are getting help. Well done!
Thank you for looking after these majestic creatures ❤️
Love these longer videos. Thanks for identifying them periodically--that adds a lot to the enjoyment.
Gorgeous animals. May God protect them and all the people who take great care of those graceful and gentle souls .Beautiful video .Thank you .
Thank you for this amazing video! ❤️❤️❤️🐘🐘❤️❤️❤️
These elephants are super cute and so happy! Thank you for helping them. 🐘🐘
They are so precious! May god bless them have healthy, safety, and happy life! 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️
Angels in long coats.. Doing God's work.. Thank you..
I Love What These People are Doing Helping to Save Baby Elephants
that is very helpful baby elephants
Wishing they are free from all dangers!
Kenya Elephants are the best protecting country in Africa 💖🐘🙏
Wonderful video. Cannot get enough of these details. Your organization does the most urgent and important work saving elephants and then meticulously returning them to the wild in stages. Heroes.
I LOVE DAVID SHELDRICK WILDLIFE TRUST!
This was a great video!
I’ve been following you now for about 6 months and to see the ones I have been watching “grow up” is almost too much, lol!
Thank you ALL so much. Each and every one of you is equally important!
Sending money soon!
Love you all!
Blessings upon Blessings to you ALL!
This one is a little bittersweet for me. I started following DSWT when Ambo and Jotto were new in the nursery. 😥
I'm also glad that Sapalan finally has a mini-herd to be with. He's been a loner for most of his time in Ithumba I think. And I hope Ambo and Jotto befriend Enkikwe! I think those three have similar personalities.
Same. I was in the Nursery in Nov. 16 when Jotto was new and very feeble. He had been brought back early and put to bed. He had a young Keeper who was new to the Trust who was brimming with info and zeal for the work. I'm sure he is one of the reasons Jotto was able to overcome his rough beginning and thrive. We then went to Ithumba and it is amazing. How lovely to see this video bringing these two experiences together. Sapalan will find his place I'm sure!
Returning ex-orphans and participation of the wild ones contribute so much to the rehabilitation of the babies. Sheldrick is really beginning to reap the dividends from years of hard work!
Beautiful and majestic. Thank you for sharing this video with us. I'm so looking forward to the day Kiasa makes the same trip. It will be a bittersweet day but I'll be so happy for her. 🤓🏴☠️🇸🇪
Youre all amazing humans, we cannot thank you enough how grateful we are with this sanctuary for animals.
WONDERFUL LONG VIDEO. THANK YOU.
This is so beautiful God bless you
Love seeing the, oh! so cute and well cared for, baby elephants, being transferred to their new home in Ithumba and being warmly greeted by their new family ! Thank you DSWT and your wonderful Keepers for all you do so lovingly to protect and care for these precious baby elies!
God Bless and keep you all safe.
THANK YOU for caring about them, for loving them, for respecting them -- THANK YOU ALL for being there for them -- they deserve a normal Elephant life and thanks to you, they're living it -- they're beautiful, sensitive, intelligent animals -- we LOVE them.
Bless them in their new chapter! may they thrive and be safe always!
Seeing the dependents running to greet the newcomers is so heartwarming. Elephants are so generous with their affection.
I wish other countries can do the same.
Watching your videos and see how you handle the baby.
Yesterday I watched a video from Sri Lanka and I was very upset. They call their video group The wild elephant.
Thank you for such a great work you all do
God bless you all
'The Wild Elephant' is a joke. Those guys know nothing about elephants - the stuff they do is beyond belief
Thank you so much for sharing. 💖 🤗 I love you ask for all you do for the gentle giants.
These people are the real heros.. they work day and night without tired in this dry and hot weather..their dedication should be appreciated by the people all over the world..
I can't get over that happy run when their friends saw them arrive.

Poeple like these and ,people’s comments,keep me alive thank you all ,spread the love ,so more animals can be saved, may god be with you all x
So wonderful to see them graduate. I first saw these two when they were so tiny and fragile in June 2016. It’s been wonderful to meet them 2 times since that first visit watching them get bigger and stronger. Jotto especially on my later visits was so friendly. I can’t wait see them in the fall at ithumba.
I love watching these older babies enjoyed the water.. I love it even more the shock look from the wild elephants “ what in the world are these teen mingling w those human” “ .
The wild elephants stared always had me lol..
I counted 22 elephants at the water hole (I could be off a couple). That’s a lot of elephants to care for...much love and hugs to the Keepers who may not get enough recognition for their life saving work! I’m sure Ambo and Jotto were nervous but I’m so glad to see them getting settled. What a wonderful organization DSWT has in saving these orphans. God bless everyone!♥️🐘♥️🐘♥️🐘♥️🐘
brilliant
gorgeous footage, well behaved toddlers, they have been brought up so well, they understand love and affection xx
This is a wonderful video, so perfectly done. May God bless you.
SUPER BELLO, GRACIAS DIOS POR ESTA MARAVILLA...💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐐
Almost elephant heaven!
I love how these elephants meet and greet and instantly form a loving family bond as they seem to hug one another with their trunks. Beautiful precious elephants ❤😘⚘💙
What a great scene. Elephants and their lovely caregivers.Thank You
I am thrilled to see the sheldrick trust people's compassion with polished organising skills to deal with these precious elli babies. Hopefully other countries should bring similar efficiency and love to such type of set up
Amazing sanctuary.......
Now, reading yours history, remembering yours rescue with 4 months and 1 month old, I only can said "Wonderfully world with DSTW"
Thus is one of the best videos I have ever seen.
Love them, thank you for your care 🙏
I wonder do any of you stop to think about the poor and starving children of this country? It seems no expense is spared on these animals but what about the many human souls that perish before their 10th birthday in this country (about 60%). Because they lack basic neccities like clean water and food and vaccines Meanwhile these animals get a private plane ride to a nursery.. Human being grow up to be grateful, productive and give back to their community. What do these elephants offer you for the future? I know they are cute when they are babies but they do grow up to require an enormous amount of food and water, all for 1/2 of the habitat to supply in the future? Can anyone else see the train wreck In about 5-10 years from all these " rescues"? I know you mean well, I question your priorities.
it's so moving seen how much these babies trust their human family. This (apparently stress free ) re-location is only results of the trust they have on their (human) family.
So disturbing to see so many but heartwarming that they are safe and looked after
Wonderful care raising the babies 🐘🐘
Yours hapiness is my hapiness
❤❤❤
I love how elephants are so welcoming toward each other. ❤
The reunions always make me smile!
Theese guys probably has coolest job in the world
I love elephants so much 🐘❤️🙏
Love love love this!
God bless the animals
Ambo....Jotto....and others I love youuu.....and also workers😙😙😙
I wonder what the wild elephants think of seeing dozens of youngsters in a group, being fed by people - not something they'd ever seen in the bush
So beautiful! 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘
The Caregivers from the truck driver to the Drs. Y'all are awesome
E VIVA A VIDA ... E VIVA OS ANIMAIS ...

I'm not crying. You're crying........is someone chopping onions in here? Also. Who the hell dislikes this video?!
They look so little compared to the others ❤
GOD BLESS YOU
God bless you all.. 🐘❤🙏
So beautiful.
Beautiful herds.. I’m happy to see more keepers and more keepers. Very unfortunate and sad to hear what happened lSokotei and Shimba. My heart bleed for Sokotei he made it to Ithumba , no sure where the keepers were at when the lion killed Sokotei.
After introduction Ambo is thinking: Oh no... Esampu again :)
God love them.
love love love this!!
The rock behind looks like a elephant too
Wonderful video wish them all the best in life in Ithumba

The first time I ever watched a graduation day video I felt so sad for them not realising that it's really like a big surprise birthday party with old friends waiting to greet them. And then all the special guests. As I understand it, the last time they laid eyes on a fully grown elephant was prior to their rescue.

Dear DSWT, may i know what age at which a baby elephant becomes eligible for graduation to Ithumba. Are there other consuderations aside from age? Thank you for taking excellent care of these magnificent creatures. God bless you.
Yes there is! It’s not an exact age, but on average, we move the orphans from our Nursery to the Reintegration Unit when they reach the age of three. But we always take into account friendships at the Nursery, which orphans are already at the stockades (former friends for example), as well as practical details like how many orphans we have at each centre and even the weather - which can make some roads impassable at certain times of the year. We can tell an orphan is ready to make the move when they are psychologically and physically stable, or if they are pushing against the social 'boundaries' e.g. pushing their friends around, showing that they are ready to learn from older elephants.
Is there someone who keeps track of how many elephants go to a certain area? And has an elephant ever gone to another area and that’s where they are from so maybe a hope of finding their family again?
Malika and Malima went bk to Tsavo. And may find their Moms....... Separated by drought
So many orphan babies. 😐
The Ex-orphans form into herds even when they got independent. It says something special. They treat each other brothers-sisters and stick for life. Together they stand.
