US First Lady Melania Trump on Friday had a short-lived adrenaline moment while visiting an elephant orphanage at David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. In her first tour since arriving in Nairobi on Thursday night, Melania went to feed elephant calves accompanied by her host, Kenya’s First Lady Margaret Kenya.
While petting of the baby elephants, a calf run in her direction apparently startled by her touch – momentarily unsettling her.
A secret service agent accompanying her was quick to hold her to safety, although the baby elephant calmly went on with its business while Melania regained her footing with a smile.
After leaving the Sheldrick centre, the two First Ladies proceeded to the Kenya National Theatre where they watched a cultural performance by Sarakasi Dancers.
