Galana and Wendi who were waiting at the Stockade Compound first thing in the morning, were happily joined by the Juniors as soon as they were let out. Wendi, Galana and Enasoit then led the orphans out to browse where there was competition between Wendi, Galana, Loijuk, Chyulu and Naserian for Enasoit, all 5 females wanting him, and all following him, even to the mudbath. After the mudbath Nasalot arrived to join the Junior Group and spent the afternoon with them, escorting the Youngsters back to the Stockades in evening, where they were joined by the rest of the ex orphans.

The orphans moved to the field in single file led by Sian and then split into two groups – Loijuk, Enasoit, Makena, Lenana, Sian and Chyulu remaining closer to the Keepers whilst Ol Malo, Kora, Zurura, Lualeni, Kenze, Naimina, Meibai, Naserian and Sidai were more adventurous moving to the East where they settled to feed on an open plain. Shortly before 11 a.m. the two groups merged again to head for the mudbath, led by Makena. After the wallow they browsed along the Kanziku area.

Sian led the Juniors to the Kone area today where they settled to browse. During the morning Loijuk and Chyulu enjoyed a soil bath, rolling on the ground when Lenana enjoyed climbing over Loijuk. Since it was a cold day, none of the Youngsters felt like going into the mudbath, so the milk dependent Juniors took their noon milk feed and returned to browse along with the others.

About 2 hours after Naserian’s group left the stockades Yatta’s group arrived for a drink at the water trough. Yatta then led her group away in the same direction the youngsters had taken. During the midday mudbath the orphans didn’t feel like bathing due to the cool weather conditions. Naserian led the group back to browse for the afternoon and were joined Yatta’s group. Chyulu led the way back to the stockades in the evening.

Kora took the lead as the orphans headed out to browse at dawn, while feeding the orphans separated into small groups. Loijuk teamed up with Enasoit, Naimina, Makena, and Lenana while Chyulu, Sian, Lualeni, and Kora grouped together and Meibai, Sidai, Naserian, Zurura & Kenze formed another group who stayed closest to the Keepers. As the orphans made their way back to the stockades for the night they came across a wet bank of loose soil near Kanziku which they all took turns to play in.
