The King and Queen have just completed their five-day state visit to their African country, their first to a Commonwealth country since the King’s accession to the throne.
While in the National Park on Wednesday, the Queen had the chance to feed an orphaned baby elephant today.
The royal couple saw a herd of orphaned elephants playing at the specialist wildlife centre.
Orphaned elephant calf Mzinga, one of the center’s youngest at one year old, said: “They look very content, very happy.”
Camilla wore a Liberty cotton elephant and peacock print dress from Fiona Clare with a pair of practical and clearly distressed brown ankle boots.
When introduced to the keepers, many who had worked at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust for decades, she said: “Everyone knows everyone, that’s so nice.”
The Queen was shown around by Angela Sheldrick, whose mother Dame Daphne founded the orphanage.
She met lead keeper Edwin Lusichi, who has worked at the center for more than 20 years, and the other keepers before the baby elephant was given a mud bath.
They explained that elephants often indulge in a mud bath to form a layer on their skin that protects them from insects and sunburn.
The King later joined the Queen and they heard about the work of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. The royals watched the baby elephants as they enjoyed their mud baths.
During the trip, the Queen bottle-fed one of the centre’s youngest baby elephants, Mzinga (pictured).
In addition to feeding an elephant, on day two of the state visit to Kenya, Camilla heard about the trust’s work in the conservation and conservation of wildlife and protected areas in Kenya.

The King and Queen wrapped up their state visit today with a visit to one of Kenya’s most iconic monuments – and posed bravely in a tuk tuk, after Camilla took part in a spirited dance with survivors of sexual violence.
Charles and Camilla posed with the eco-friendly electric vehicle outside Fort Jesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and playfully jumped in after the seats were carefully wiped down for them.
When told that the vehicle can reach speeds of up to 60 km/h, the couple widened their eyes and giggled – especially when their driver, Eunice Karanja, accidentally started the vehicle a bit.
The tuk-tuk – a common form of urban transport in Mombasa – is so named to mimic the sound of a small two-stroke engine.
But unlike the old models, the new electric alternatives offer a smoother ride with minimal noise.
This was covered in a traditional Kenyan print design and ‘GREAT’ branding, an international campaign to showcase the best of Britain.
Earlier, the Queen put on her dancing shoes as she showed support for volunteers and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Camilla, 76, joined the Sauti Ya Wanawake (the Voice of Women) at the Situation Room in Mombasa, a center that supports volunteers and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
The group sang songs about the power and importance of women in society.
Camilla shuffled her feet and smiled as the women held her hands in the air as they sang and chanted traditional African songs.

The royals also got to explore Fort Jesus during their visit today.
Inside the fortress, the couple vainly held up umbrellas to ward off the weather, while Queen Camilla – dressed in a Fiona Clare print dress – shrugged and smiled at the chaos.
The king walked along the harbor wall to a vantage point overlooking the ocean to admire the strategic location of the fort, while his wife browsed local craft stalls.
His Majesty heard about the impact of climate change on the Fort and the strategies implemented to mitigate associated risks.
The King and Queen also met local creatives who, with British support, are preserving local cultural practices for future generations – and admired a dance troupe.
The royal couple were photographed battling heavy rain as they headed to engagements in Mombasa this morning during their official visit to Kenya.
The sound of pounding rain was punctuated by cries of “long live the king” from the crowds gathered to see the couple, making the trip reminiscent of their recent trip to Paris.
Charles and Camilla visited Kenya at the invitation of Kenyan President William Ruto to celebrate the relationship between the two countries.
The visit comes as Kenya prepares to commemorate 60 years of independence.
