Kilaguni and Kibo remain best friends, who enjoy playing together and browsing together throughout the day.

Dida and Ndii are good friends, and are often feeding together. Today Kibo decided to devote some time to his old friends, and joined Dida and Ndii, feeding alongside them some distance from his friend Kilaguni, which was unusual.

After the 9 a.m. milk feed, the orphaned herd was brought back to the Stockades to greet the newcomer, Chemi Chemi. He was greeted very warmly, initially by Olare, followed by Ndii, and later on Dida, Kilaguni and Sabachi, all of whom lay their trunks across his back in a loving gesture. Baby Mutara was also not left out, and came up to Chemi Chemi to welcome him into the orphaned fold. He responded positively to the other orphans and was allowed out with them, tightly sandwiched between Olare and Ndii. Meanwhile, the Keepers kept a close watch in case he was tempted to try and run away. He was returned to his stable during the mudbath hour but again joined the orphaned herd after the visitors had left. He thoroughly enjoyed his first day out in the Nursery, and by nightfall was settled, and happy to find himself next door to Melia for the night.
