Advance reservations are mandatory and can be made through the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s website. Arrive early to secure a good viewing spot. Visitors are encouraged to support the trust by adopting an elephant, which provides updates on its progress and supports its care. Remember, the elephants are wild animals, so touching or feeding them is not permitted.

The trust is situated about 7 kilometers from Nairobi’s city center and is easily accessible via Langata Road. You can get there by private car, taxi, or ride-hailing services. Many tour operators in Nairobi also include the trust in their itineraries.

Plan your visit during the designated public hour between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM. To avoid crowds, consider visiting on weekdays, as weekends and holidays tend to attract more visitors.

The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is often included in Nairobi day-trip packages alongside other attractions like the Giraffe Centre and Nairobi National Park. This allows visitors to enjoy a variety of wildlife experiences in a single day. Transportation, guides, and entrance fees are often bundled into these packages, making for a seamless experience.
