Rescue of Orphaned Elephant Mokogodo | Sheldrick Trust

Mokogodo is our early Valentine — this enchanting little girl has been stealing hearts since she stepped foot in the Nursery. Mokogodo’s story with us began on 13th February 2023, in the heart of Laikipia. The Mukogodo Forest is a land of rolling woodlands, frequented by elephants as they traverse from the bottom reaches of Samburu to the foothills of Mount Kenya. On the fringes of the forest, Samburu found a tiny calf, all on her own. There were no other elephants in the area, and based on her condition, it was clear that she was an orphan. Read the full story of Mokogodo's rescue, and support this precious calf's future through an adoption, at https://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/mokogodo 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.
