Elephant orphanage

We visited the David Sheldrick elephant orphanage outside Nairobi.

This little fellow was one of a number whose mothers had been killed by poachers for their ivory. Dreadful. He was a little cutie.

Awww, that must have been a heartbreaking experience but oh so cute! We wanted to visit an elephant sanctuary in Johannesburg but turns out they wanted £50 for a children's ride. We took out nieces to the Lion Park instead.
