Does anyone know exactly where the Sheldrick Voi location is?
Is it inside or outside of the boundaries of Tsavo East? What's the closest gate and how long does it take to drive from there?

I'm being told it's south of Buchuma gate which I didn't think was correct, but maybe it is.

I've sent Sheldrick an email also, but in case anyone here knows. Thanks!

I’ve been there. It’s inside the park, close to Voi Gate.

That's Voi Safari Lodge. Patty is looking for the Sheldrick research/scout post.

No, Nyama, there were lots of little elephants that you could hug.

Thanks, Nyamera! Do you remember how long it took you to get there from Tarhi?

Anyone like to guess how long it takes from Galdessa? I'm thinking around 1 hour?

Patty, I don’t remember how long the drive from Tarhi was, but it wasn’t long. The roads in Tsavo East are quite good, so maybe you can make it from Galdessa in about an hour.
