Give with purpose this holiday season
A unique and meaningful gift, adoptions directly fund the round-the-clock care required to raise orphaned elephants and rhinos. Your support allows us to give these babies the family and the future they deserve, caring for them until they are ready to be returned to a protected wilderness.

Our adoption program allows you to virtually ‘gift wrap’ an orphaned elephant or rhino and send it to a loved one this Christmas. It is a sustainable, timely present — our adoption programme is entirely digital, meaning your gift is delivered within minutes, or on a date of your choosing. Your recipient will then receive monthly updates on their orphan and Orphans’ Project.
With almost 100 orphans currently reliant on the Sheldrick Trust, there are plenty of personalities to choose from and stories to touch your heart. Safe in our care, these babies will follow in the footsteps of generations of orphans who have gone before them and are now living in Kenya's vast Tsavo Conservation Area. By adopting this holiday season, you make their journeys back to the wild possible.
