A visit to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi, a genuine elephant and rhino orphan rescue and rehabilitation center, watching keepers bottle-feed baby elephants before their eventual release to the wild.

This organization has raised and released hundreds of orphaned elephants back into Tsavo National Park since the 1970s, and its public visiting hour lets you watch young orphans being fed and cared for. It's a genuine conservation operation rather than a tourist attraction dressed up as one.
