elephants elephant lovely babies cute scenic views crowded well
Raj Sarma

Make sure you get there on time for the 11am feeding, it's a must see! Adopt an elephant and help a great cause, these folks are hard working and are doing a great job of helping orphaned elephants .

Cmr

It is a great experience but be sure to go early as it gets extremely crowded . Otherwise you will not see anything nor touch those lovely babies . We stood on the left side to see their entrance.

Ronald DL

Great to see the baby elephants up close. Position yourself near where they enter the enclosure so you will have some great pic moments without any people in the shot. Only open between 11am - noon

Auri Ghatak

It's only $50/year to adopt an elephant . They let you visit your adoptee before it goes to sleep between 5 and 6. Do the right thing. Visit their website to sponsor these beautiful creatures now.

Brad Hager

Very good too see, well worth the $5 admission. Lots of baby orphan elephants , they give you the history of each one, you can pet them, great video & photo opp.

Celine McGlone

If you have already adopted an elephant you can come and visit your baby from 5-6 when they come in to go to bed for the night. Much less crowded than the morning viewing and a great cause!

Vanessa Springfield

AmustSEE! No words could never describe the emotion U 'LL have during UR visit here.The direct contact with those babies, watching their new parents taking care of them is an unforgettable experience.

Don't expect to spend much time petting these orphaned elephants , but do expect to be overwhelmed with cuteness . Very close to the Nairobi Giraffe Centre and Nairobi National Park . Go.

Kevin Grant

Didn’t seem like there was a best place to stand, all kind of depends on where the elephants decide to hang out!

nancy ngonyo

They are covered with blankets when they sleep and the wardens share their rooms just like mothers and they have names I loved it

Shane Dallas

From 11am-12 midday the orphaned elephants arrive in 2 groups. Good views from everywhere, the side areas are less crowded .

Tom Somerville

Enjoyable and informative experience. Highly recommend!

Very cute baby elephants but too many people shoving and trying to touch the poor animals. It wasn’t the most pleasant experience as I was pushed out of my spot couldn’t even get a picture.
