This orphanage for Elephant Calves and Rhinos was founded and still managed by Daphne Sheldrick, the widow of one of Kenya's best known Game Wardens, David Sheldrick. Elephant calves orphaned by poaching are brought here from all over the country. They get extremely specialized treatment here, and literally receive personal care 24 hours a day from highly dedicated staff who becomes surrogate mothers to the calves. You can also "adopt" an elephant for approx. USD 50 a year. You will also visit the Giraffe Centre whose key objective is conservation of the endangered Rothschild giraffes where you will have an opportunity of feeding these giraffes from a raised platform. Lunch at the Carnivore restaurant where meats are roasted on traditional Maasai swords over a huge charcoal pit that dominates the restaurant's entrance. The rough-hewn beams combine the rustic feel of a rural setting with that of a medieval banqueting hall. The Carnivore doesn't conform to the familiar restaurant traditions. First, the soup of the day along with a plate of home baked bread and butter are served. Then, an army of carvers move table to table, Swords laden carving juicy cuts onto sizzling cast-iron plates. Accompanying the meat feast is a selection of salads, vegetable side dishes and sauces. After lunch, visit the nearby Karen Blixen Museum whose history dates back to 1914, during the First World War, with the arrival of Karen Blixen from Denmark. The house was restored by the Danish government, and was used during the filming of "Out of Africa" which immortalized Karen Blixen's book by the same name.
