"We had a magical morning at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust with all the baby elephants! I sponsored one of the elephants and our group set a record for the number of elephants sponsored!"
Best known for their work to protect elephants, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program in the world.
Become a part of their foster family by adopting an orphan elephant, rhino or giraffe for yourself or as a gift for a loved one.
Olivia's African Safaris
Few places on earth can lay claim to such superlative natural wonders as Africa. The timeless savannahs of the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, the famed “Eighth Wonder of the Natural World.” Our Olivia safari is superbly organized and crafted to perfection with the finest operators, guides, hotels, lodges, and tented camps. We have been running African Safari tours to Kenya and Tanzania with Micato since 2007. Our safaris are a wonderful way to experience East Africa in luxury, up close and personal with the animals and culture, truly making for the trip of a lifetime.
