August 2nd

The Ex Orphans came early to the Stockade with 20 wild friends. Mulika and Challa, who had arrowheads removed a few days ago, were ushered into one of the Stockades for their extra Dairy Cubes before joining the others at the water trough. Once out in the field, a few of the Ex Orphans turned up to mingle with the Juniors and managed to snatch Kanjoro, Murka, Makireti, Kandecha, Sities, Kainuk, Kilaguni and Kilabasi, all of whom missed both the noon mudbath and milk. Meanwhile Lualeni remained with the rest of the Juniors, escorting them to the mudbath where they were joined by some wild bulls. Kasigau and Ololoo were engaged in a Pushing Bout which came to an abrupt end when a wild bull approached them!. The snatched Juniors rejoined the others out in the bush at 2 p.m. and that evening Lualeni escorted them all back to their Night Stockades.

22 Wild elephants were at the Stockades in the morning, joined by the Ex Orphans. The Juniors settled at Kone to browse up until mudbath time. It was too cool to wallow, so Kilaguni and Sabachi settled into a Pushing Match. In the evening the Ex Orphans came to the Stockades to drink, and later left to an undisclosed location.
