This orphaned calf was sited alone by a Tour Driver on the 21st August 2013 in the Sobo area of Tsavo East National Park. The tour driver monitored the calf for a while and saw that it was staggering and in a state of collapse, with no sign of her wild family.
On the morning of 11th July 2013 an eighteen month old baby elephant was found abandoned in Tsavo East National Park. The DSWT's rescue team weas deployed from Nairobi to rescue the calf and bring it to the Nairobi Elephant Nursery where he is now getting the care and attention he needs in order to make his rehabilitation journey back into the wild.

On 6th July 2013, SkyVets was dispatched, following a report from the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) about an emergency case involving an elephant with a snare wound on its trunk in Tsavo West. A helicopter, with KWS veterinary officer Dr. Titus Kaitho on board, lifted off from Nairobi and just one hour later it had reached the location where the elephant was last seen.
