On my birthday I decided we should go to the David Sheldrick Wildlife trust to check to some of the orphan elephants.

In order to keep the elephants as wild as possible the orphanage is open to visitor only for an hour (from 11am to 12pm) every day.

During that time the elephants are brought into a common area where the visitors can take a closer look at the really cute elephants! The tiny ones are beyond hilarious when they play roughly with each other.

I don't think they know how big they are!

Fun dirt bath!

The first group leaving...


And the second group arrived... With bottles!!!
So cute to see the elephants drinking from the bottles!


Some of them needed a little help:




But some were very much independent!




And some preferred water... and spitting it!


Some liked the coldness of the wet ground



And some liked to chew on branches



and some just liked to chill!


From the Elephant Orphanage we headed to the Giraffe center to see, touch, feed, or even kiss the giraffes!!! In my last trip to Nairobi I visited the center and loved it so much I thought it would be fun to visit it again and take the girls.

Our day ended at the Masai Market to buy some souvenirs to take back home!
