For anyone who loves animals, especially elephants and hippos or those who are conservationists, this park is a MUST SEE! The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is basically a flexible, small charity which came into being in 1977 in memory of the famous Naturalist David Leslie William Sheldrick who was also the founder of Warden of TSA vo East National Park in Kenya where he gladly rendered his services from its inauguration in 1948 until his transfer to Nairobi in 1976.

In Nairobi, David Leslie headed the Planning unit of the newly created Wildlife Conservation and Management Department. David passed away six months after joining this department but his legacy and concern for wildlife lives on and has inspired many others to contribute their services and finances to aid the development of facilities that would, in effect, help save wildlife.

Ever since its establishment in 1977, the trust has emerged as a significant charitable organization and has continued to make a significant impact in Kenya’s overall conservational efforts.
