Melania Trump took part in a baby elephant feeding on Friday as she visited a national park in Kenya to highlight conservation efforts.

The US First Lady is on a four-leg tour of Africa promoting her children's welfare programme.

Kenya is the third stop on her Africa tour, which began Tuesday in Ghana and continued in Malawi on Thursday.

Her first-ever visit to Africa is also her first extended solo international trip as first lady in what some see as 'fence-mending'.

She is scheduled to take in a quick safari later on Friday.

Egypt will be her final stop of the continent that focuses on child welfare, education, tourism and conservation.
