Ambo and Enkesha were the first morning callers for all the orphans this morning. Ambo started knocking and pushing on his door, struggling to get out at around 5 o’clock this morning. It was still too dark for all the orphans to go out yet but the more Ambo pushed on his gate making a noise, the more Enkesha responded by screaming. This went on for some time and then Esampu on the other side of the stockades got involved with the screaming. Just before 6am it was decided to let Enkesha and Ambo out of their stockades to let them roam around. They both ran around in joy, Enkesha running behind Ambo and rumbling. In front of Jotto and Tamiyoi’s stables there is an open space and they turned this into their playground. They were running after each other and trumpeting like very excited babies. Meanwhile everyone could now watch their game and they were pushing and pulling on their gates, climbing on the walls and struggling to get out to join the others in their game. It turned into a game for them all for as soon as they were let out of their pens, each one went to join in the game unfolding in the courtyard area. Murit, Pare, Lasayen and Ngilai were involved in a game of hide and seek, while others were rolling on the ground and climbing on each other, like Jotto and Tamiyoi. The game came to an end when the keepers started to lead them out into the forest.
At 9am we received a call from the Masai Mara that a small calf had been found all alone. A rescue team left by 10am and was back at the Nursery by 2pm. The girl was very tiny and less than a week old. She was very weak and had obviously been alone for some time.
