Umani Springs - Kibwezi Forest | Sheldrick Trust

Umani Springs in the Kibwezi Forest - our third and most recent rehabilitation unit - nestled within a paradise where the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust has a concession from the Kenya Forest Service to manage and protect this unique and treasured ground water forest abutting the Chyulu Hills National Park. Now home to ten of our orphaned elephants and numerous wild herds along with a multitude of other fauna and flora Umani Springs Lodge enables a privileged few a home from home within this extremely special ecosystem. Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and hand-rearing orphaned elephants and other animals that have lost their mothers, all too often as a result of human activity. But we do much more than this. Through our Aerial, Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary Units, we safeguard the natural environment and provide immediate assistance to wild animals in need. We also secure irreplaceable wilderness areas so that animals will always have space to roam and work with local partners and communities to ensure people and wildlife can live alongside one another.
