ABOUT NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK

READ WHAT OUR PAST GUESTS ARE SAYING

"I did the safari in September 2018 and what was meant as a once in a lifetime trip has left me wanting more. Every day was different in its own way and the experiences so different and unique at Nairobi nursery, Ithumba and Umani. It gave me a real behind the scenes of DSWT and a new found appreciation of what they do and not just for the elephants but other wildlife and the ecosystem. Travelling with Beverly was amazing and some special surprises along the way. Beverly was always approachable and our group worked well together. a treasured and memorable 8 days to last a lifetime."

“Beverly has been running the safari for many years & she really knows how to properly plan all the details. She also knows the Sheldricks, the staff and many of the keepers at the SWT, so you really get an in-depth experience with the elephants! The camps are gorgeous, the food is prepared by very talented chefs, & the Nairobi operator Beverly uses is really top-notch. I highly recommend Orphan Trail Safaris if you want an ethical experience with elephants, you will never forget."

"The best trip I have ever taken. Organised, intimate and private. Honestly, only the rich and famous take this level of trip and I am neither. Every single day of the trip I would say to myself, it just can't get any better and it did. No joke! Just interacting with our sponsored elephants and seeing their personalities up close and personal was so meaningful. I would highly recommend this trip with Beverly and am trying to figure out when I can return. Trip of a lifetime in so many ways. Thank you Beverly!
