BEGINNINGS - THE NURSERY

SHELDRICK WILDLIFE TRUST

MAKE UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES WITH US ON A UNIQUE ELEPHANT SAFARI.

Orphan Trail Safaris offer a personal touch; every small group elephant safari is meticulously organised and, in most cases, personally escorted & guided by Beverly Perry, a passionate Wildlife Conservationist with years of experience in this field.

We’ll take you to all the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s reintegration units and stay at their private Eco Camps & Lodges which are available only in their entirety on a self-help basis, offering exclusive access to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s orphaned elephants.

Let us take the headache out of planning all the difficult
logistics, supplying all tour provisions and creating delicious meal plans whilst every guests individual requirements and personal abilities are taken into consideration.

Every Orphan Trail Safari includes a Private Visit to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Orphanage in Nairobi, staying at their remote private Eco Camps & Lodges in Tsavo, finishing the adventure with a traditional Wildlife Safari in one of Kenya’s prestigious National Parks. All accommodation fees for the SWT Eco Camps go directly to the Trust & KWS Conservation Initiatives; protecting & conserving this pristine, remote wilderness in northern Tsavo where general tourists are not permitted.

On these unique Elephant Safaris, we seek the animals rather than expecting them to see them trackside; the area is suited to those who savour the unspoilt aspect of a truly wild place, under huge skies and a million stars.

We guarantee an action-packed itinerary, while delivering a truly unique and ethical African Elephant Safari experience!

READ WHAT OUR PAST GUESTS ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR ELEPHANT SAFARI TOURS

"We found Beverly Perry, and she made our dream come true on our elephant safari. (THANK YOU a million times, Beverly!). She organises trips to the reintegration centres for people like us by putting small groups together and then taking care of ALL of the details. It was PERFECT in every way! We never wanted to leave! If you have the chance to go to Kenya and travel with Beverly and Orphan Trail Safaris, know that it's worth every penny, dollar, Euro, pound, shilling, etc. GO!."

- Melanie & Tom Michaels

“HIGHLY recommend Orphan Trail Safaris! My wife and I just returned from a two-week elephant safari in Kenya with "OTS". The itinerary was perfectly planned. Beverly's access to SWT staff and elephants is just incredible. Her deep knowledge and genuine passion are contagious. We had an absolutely delightful trip with her and are already planning our next one. Warning: her tours book up way in advance. Suggest you do your research and then book a spot quickly.”

- Gary & Suzanne Simon
California, USA
"It’s quite simple - Beverly makes dreams come true! How does she do it? A wonderful mix of attention to detail, care for her clients’ needs, the sharing of her own personal knowledge and contacts, the back-up of an incredibly reliable local team, and all sprinkled with good humour, warmth and friendship. I knew a fair bit about the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust before I went on this tour and came away with so much more insight and respect for the scope of incredible conservation work that they achieve.”

- Louise & Simon Potts
Nottingham, UK
"Wow! Such a special and wonderful experience it was to follow the recovery trail of the elephants rescued and rehabilitated by the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Through Orphan Trail Safaris, Beverly brings people together on private, small group tours who share a love of elephants and conservation. I met a lot of heroes. The communication and logistics both before and during the trip were very well organised. My heart was touched many times on this trip and I truly hope to join Beverly again on a return trip in the future."

“Africa changes you forever, like nowhere on earth. Once you have been there, you will never be the same. But how do you begin to describe its magic to someone who has never felt it. How can you explain the fascination of this vast, dusty continent, whose oldest roads are elephant paths. Could it be because Africa is the place of all our beginnings, the cradle of mankind, where our species first stood upright on the savannahs of long ago?”
