Chaimu playing
Chaimu and her longtime friend Kilaguni visited the stockades early in the morning. The two ex-orphans teamed up with the juniors and together they headed to the browsing field. Chaimu had fun rolling on the ground as she tried to entice the juniors to join her to play. None of the orphans dared to join her but instead concentrated on browsing. Later, Karisa engaged Namalok in a strength testing exercise that ended when Namalok surrendered. Malkia, Sana Sana and Ndiwa, who have completely settled into their new surroundings, were the ones who were leading the way in the bush.
At mud bath time, Chaimu and Kilaguni escorted the juniors and they all had a spectacular wallowing session. In the afternoon, Kithaka and Barsilinga had a friendly pushing game that was interrupted by Kilaguni. Mteto settled to browse with Roi and they had a girl to girl talk that lasted for quite some time. The hot tempered Ukame had a bit of a disagreement with tough Wanjala. Wanjala didn’t wait around for Ukame to vent her anger on him, and he ran as fast as could to seek refuge from the Keepers. Ukame stopped following Wanjala when he saw Wanjala running towards the Keepers. Ukame knew that Wanjala had outwitted her and decided to keep low until the next opportunity to discipline Wanjala presented itself.
The orphans headed straight to the browsing field soon after the gates opened. Chaimu and his longtime friend Kilaguni joined the orphans to browse. Garzi seized this opportunity to engage Kilaguni in a pushing game in order to gage how strong he has grown. Garzi learnt that he needed more time and training to be able to defeat or end in a draw with a big bull like Kilaguni; he surrendered when the going got tough.
At mud bath time, Karisa had fun as he emulated Kilaguni and Chaimu in bathing. Karisa was the last one to quit mud bathing as he tried to put into practice what he had seen Chaimu and Kilaguni doing. Galla, Siangiki and Lemoyian briefly settled for a soil dusting exercise as Maramoja led the way back to the browsing field. The afternoon was cool with the sky obscured by clouds which meant fun for the orphans. Chaimu and Kilaguni escorted the juniors back to the stockade later in the evening.
