About
For over 25 years, from 1955 until 1976 , Kenya born Daphne Sheldrick lived and worked alongside her late husband, David, the famous founder Warden of Kenya's giant Tsavo National Park. During that time she raised and rehabilitated back into the wild community orphans of misfortune from many different wild species, including Elephants aged two and upwards.
The key to her success has been her life-long experience of wild creatures, an in-depth knowledge of animal psychology, the behavioural characteristics of the different species, and, of course, that most essential component, a sincere and deep empathy.
