关于

快速信息: 泥泞的藏身处、小小的象鼻和凄婉的长号声迎接来访者，在孤儿院内，饲养员整夜用奶瓶喂养并对小象唱歌，建立牢固的感情纽带。兽医和野外巡护员执行救援任务及软释放计划，成功将许多幼象重新融入野生家庭群，并通过GPS项圈监控它们。

亮点: 每天上午9点的公开喂食时，照料员将多达12只被遗弃的小象推入一个尘土飞扬的围场，空气中飘散着温暖的奶香和晒干的毛发味。小象们朝着带有昵称的饲养员如Mweiga和Luggard列队前进，游客们观看。1978年开始的一个独特睡前仪式中，一名饲养员开始将手写的“梦笔记”和标有确切救援日期的彩绘石头放在每只小象的毯子下，这一传统现已吸引了数十名志愿者参与，形成了一个包含气味、墨迹和名字的令人惊喜的档案。

内部小贴士

Book online in advance and aim for a weekday session to avoid queues and crowded viewing areas.
Wear neutral colors, comfortable shoes and a sun hat, the viewing area is uncovered and can get dusty.
Bring a phone or lens with at least 200mm equivalent zoom, avoid flash and follow keeper photo rules for respectful shots.
Keep voices low and follow keeper instructions, do not attempt to touch the calves, and arrive 10-15 minutes early for best vantage.
