As well as being a delicious treat, lucerne pellets are important dietary supplements, especially for the older elephant orphans during drier periods in Tsavo, when fresh browse is less readily available.

Every night we line the stables at our Nairobi Nursery and Kaluku Neonate Unit with hay so the youngest orphans feel warm and cosy at night. Lucerne bales also provide a delicious and nutritious snack for older orphans.

Rescued orphan elephants in our care require specialist milk formula to survive and our Keepers bottle feed the Nursery orphans freshly mixed milk every three hours, day and night. Your gift can help us provide 2 bottles of milk – enough for one milk feed for one orphan.
