The David Sheldrick Animal Orphanage was started in memory of David Sheldrick who died in June 1977. He was founding warden of Tsavo East National Park. Since its inception, the centre has played an extremely significant role in Kenya’s conversation efforts, acting as a watch dog on wildlife affairs. At the Centre, they rescue, hand rear and rehabilitate young elephants and rhino orphans as well as any wild species orphans that can ultimately enjoy the wild when grown. The centre takes all measures that compliment conservation, preservation and protection of wildlife.

The house, was built in 1912, and made famous by the movie ‘Out Of Africa’ starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. It was once the centerpiece of a coffee plantation owned by Baron Bror Von Blixen and his wife Karen Blixen. Karen bought the house in 1917 and lived there until her return to Denmark in 1931. You will find the original furniture and artefacts of the Blixen’s as well as some of the clothes worn by Meryl Streep and Robert Redford for the movie. Like most museums of the world, photography is not allowed inside the house but visitors can take photographs of the house from outside. The museum is only 20 minutes drive from city centre.
