Light showers fell during the morning, which the orphans thoroughly enjoyed. Loijuk and Chyulu enjoyed a playful pushing match. None of the Juniors was tempted to go into the mudbath, because it was too cool, but enjoyed dusting themselves with soil instead.

It was a hot morning, so the Youngsters took water before heading out, led by Sian, who has long been a weakling. They settled down to browse along the Kone road until 11 a.m. when Chyulu led the group to the mudbath. Soon after the Juniors had left the mudbath, Wendi and her group arrived to cool off, after which they joined the Juniors and spent the rest of the afternoon with them, escorting the Youngsters back to their Stockades in the evening.

Light showers made the early morning cool, prompting the orphans to enjoy soil dusting. At the mudbath only Loijuk, Meibai, Lenana and Chyulu went for a wallow, while the rest continued browsing. At 7.30 p.m. Yatta, Naserian and the rest of their group passed by the Stockade, rumbling a “hello” to the Youngsters.

First thing in the morning Lualeni was waiting outside the Stockades to greet the Youngsters and all then headed eastwards towards the Kalovoto area to browse, led by Chyulu. Makena led the way to the noon mudbath, after which they all browsed in the Kanziku area until Lualeni led the group back to the Stockades in the evening. Lualeni spent the night in the Stockades with the Youngsters, since the ex orphans did not turn up to collect her.

Lualeni obviously spent the night nearby, for as soon as the Youngsters had emerged in the morning, she appeared. Chyulu then led the group to the Kone area, where they settled down to browse until it was time to attend the noon mudbath. Afterwards they browsed at the Kanziku area until late evening, when Lualeni led the Youngsters back home. At 6 p.m. Wendi and her group turned up to collect Lualeni, and all left together having ;rumbled a “hello” to the Youngsters who were already in their Stockades for the night.
