Kone came to us from Ewaso, Simba lodge near Samburu National park on 8th April 2019. She was found in despair from the death of her own mother, suckling and trying desperately to push her up, to revive her.

It’s was a beautiful morning, that promised a perfect day. Indeed it lived up to its word. A new baby arrived, beautiful Bule joined us.

This month we successfully returned our second group of rescued and rehabilitated elephants to the wild. Three elephants aged between three and five were moved in late November, following the pioneering ‘re-wilding’ of three of their stable-mates in May this year.

We were recently honored to host musician Dave Matthews at Reteti Elephant Sanctuary. We are thrilled to be able to share this breathtaking Ami Vitale film about his visit and the incredible impact Reteti and community-based conservation are having on northern Kenya
