There’s nothing quite like the sight of our Voi herd racing in for their midday milk feed. Milk is more than a meal; it’s their lifeline. Each bottle provides vital nutrients they need to grow strong and healthy, especially in the early years when they are most vulnerable: t.co/nStdhlgvM4

Incoming! Korbessa goes all in, taking up her signature 'frog pose' and sliding down the sandy bank of the seasonal Mtito River. She’s clearly ready for a dust bath—and judging by the excited reactions around her, the rest of the Kaluku herd is eager to join in the fun!

In 2024, our teams worked to rescue and care for animals and protect the landscapes they call home. We patrolled over 58,700 km on foot, covered nearly 485,000 km by vehicle and used our aircraft to guide wandering elephants back to safety and support veterinary interventions.

Toto has brought joy and chaos in equal measure — like this moment, where he keeps purposefully collapsing on the mattress Joseph is trying to move. From a mystery rescue to a little elephant with big bravado, Toto’s story is only just beginning.

Morning moments in Umani Springs, with the dependent orphans, and Mwana, the first calf born to one of our Umani orphans.
Were it not for the SWT and our donors, none of these elephants would be alive today. Thank you.

Meet Kaikai, who has captured every heart at Kaluku. Daphne Sheldrick once said when orphans play, you know they've turned a corner. For Kaikai, who had a heart-breaking start to life, seeing her turn a wave “hello” into a game shows her recovery is well underway. Adopt her: www.swt.bio/kaikai

Korbessa sees all the possibilities in a bale of hay — a delicious snack, yes, but also a very comfortable place to perch.

There’s nothing quite as heartwarming as the sight of two friends - as good as siblings in the case of Korbessa and Toto - completely at ease. In the soft earth of Kaluku, these two little orphans are enjoying a time out from their more exuberant dust bath games!

With heavy hearts, we honor “The Elephant Whisperer,” Dr. Iain Douglas-Hamilton, who passed away at age 83 last night.
The pioneer in elephant conservation conducted studies of elephants’ social behavior, exposed the ivory poaching crisis, and founded @savetheelephants.

Join our foster family and help give orphaned elephants, rhinos, and giraffes a second chance. Not sure who to choose? The Kaluku elephant herd — Korbessa, Toto, Natibu, and Mwinzi — is a great place to start.

Manda’s trying his luck at a game of hide and seek… but when you’re an elephant, blending in isn’t exactly easy. Nestled between the twin tree trunks, he’s convinced his camouflage skills are top-notch. (We’ll let him believe that!)

If you can, consider adopting! It’s the most humbling feeling. To know, my contribution can lead to this … it’s a win win. To learn about the individual animals is eye opening… just like us, they are all very different in character 🥰

We now celebrate 83 wild-born calves who exist because we rescued their mothers years ago. Nasalot (seen here with baby Nala and Nusu), was one such elephant orphaned by tragedy, now raising her family in the wild.

Elephants are amazing creatures and we have to get them disassociated from the #CorruptGOP. #SaveTheElephants from poachers AND #Republicans
Oh the ivory… er… I mean the irony. It cracks me up that the official mascot of the GOP is an Asian immigrant. Modern elephants didn’t exist in America until shipped here in the late 1700’s. So when Republicans rage about immigration, remember their mascot would not be possible without it! 🤷♂️
