Maktao's Rescue | Sheldrick Trust

It seems Maktao has always known how to get what he wants, beginning with his rescue in July 2017 when he followed our pilot, who had been dispatched to rescue him, down the airstrip, as if asking for help.

Maktao is currently receiving round the clock care at our Nairobi Nursery as he begins a long journey back to the wild. See the moment it all began by watching his dramatic helicopter rescue here.

Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and hand-rearing orphaned elephants and other animals that have lost their mothers, all too often as a result of human activity. But we do much more than this. Through our Aerial, Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary Units, we safeguard the natural environment and provide immediate assistance to wild animals in need. We also secure irreplaceable wilderness areas so that animals will always have space to roam and work with local partners and communities to ensure people and wildlife can live alongside one another.
