In Kenya, orphaned baby elephants are looked after at Daphne Sheldrick Orphanage in Nairobi. When they are older, they are transported to the remote Ithumba area in Tsavo East National Park where they are gradually integrated into the wild and ex orphan herds.

Wildlife at Night on “Night of the Lion” by National Geographic
 

“It is only once the sun has gone down beyond the horizon that the deadly lion truly comes to life, using scent and sound to stalk and kill its prey. But this night-time hunting routine has always been virtually impossible to capture on film - until now.

With the aid of new light-enhancing, heat-seeking technology, the Nat Geo crew uses a starlight camera to transform the pitch-black wilderness into an array of colors. This allows us to see lions and their prey in crystal-clear detail during their most active period.” (http://natgeotv.com/uk/night-of-the-lion/about)
