February 4th

Ex Orphan bulls Challa and Tomboi joined the Juniors at the Stockade compound this morning while Ololoo and Kilaguni engaged one another in a Pushing Game which ended when Kibo intervened to push Ololoo away from his friend, Kilaguni. Kalama then led the Juniors out. Only a dustbath took place today at mudbath hour. In the evening the Ex Orphans all turned up accompanied by some wild elephant friends.

Another cool morning with light drizzle. Ishanga played with Kibo while Ololoo tested his strength against Kilaguni. In the evening, on their way back to the Stockades, the Juniors were joined by the Ex Orphans.

The Ex Orphans joined the Juniors as usual at the Stockades in the morning, and after sharing the Lucerne, Mutara led the Juniors out to browse. Kilaguni and Murka had a Pushing Match which was won by Kilaguni. At the noon mudbath the Juniors were joined again by the Ex Orphans who came with 14 wild elephant friends. In the evening the Big Bull named “Mshale” came with some wild friends. He was limping from a wound, probably again inflicted by an arrow.
