It was a quiet morning as the orphans left their stockades and settled for lucerne. The sky was indicating the start of the rainy season, long overdue, might begin soon. The temperatures had dropped and we knew that some parts surrounding Ithumba had received rain the previous night. After feeding on lucerne, Narok led the way to the browsing field where they were joined by Kilaguni and Chaimu. Orwa settled to browse with Shukuru as Kamok scratched against the nearby trees. At mud bath the juniors were joined by Ex Orphan bulls Madiba, Buchuma and four wild bulls too. The weather was chilly but this didn't deter Bongo from mud bathing. The rest of his friends just stood at the edge of the mud bath as if spectating, or wondering how Bongo was enjoying wallowing in the cold mud so much. Enkikwe, Kilaguni, Siangiki, Olsekki and Teleki were tempted to join Bongo in wallowing. Shortly after mud bath Kauro and Naseku, who opted not to mud bath, settled for a scratching exercise against a nearby tree. Olsekki tried to challenge Kilaguni but he was overpowered by him. Kamok led the way out to continue browsing. The temperatures was so cool compared to previous days and the orphans enjoyed each passing moment as there was no need to find shade to hide from the hot sun today.
