We’d like you to meet someone very special! (Though nanny Nyambeni rather overshadowed the introductions…!) Crowned with a little halo of hay, Poppi is the latest addition to our foster programme. Rescued last month, she is carrying on the legacy of her mother, Poppy – a famous matriarch who reigned over Amboseli for more than five decades. We’ll be sharing little Poppi’s full story over the coming days, but first things first: we wanted to give you a peek at the newest member of our Nursery herd. You can also head over to our website to learn more about Poppi and become one of her very first adopters: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o…

Poppi has already found her feet at our Nursery. Her Keepers say she is remarkably self-sufficient for her age. She has the Nursery routines mapped out, knows where the best greens grow, and is not shy of starting a pushing match. Each evening, she insists on leading the whole herd home, her short legs racing to her stable with purpose. She lost her mother, but she has plenty of family around her now.
