It was a quiet morning today after the elephants came out of their respective stables to feed on Lucerne. They don't like the Lucerne as much these days because there is so much green vegetation to be found out in the bush. They all rushed out to the bush to browse. 

Out in the bush, Esampu was busy scratching on some rocks while Enkikwe busy browsing. Malkia was close with Ndiwa and they were browsing together. Usually Ndiwa browses with Sana Sana, but today she was with Malkia. Mutara's group later join the dependent orphans and started interacting with them. Kibo, Murka, Orwa, Narok and Bomani were amongst them. They stayed with them throughout the morning hours until mud bath time and the noon milk feeding for the dependent orphans.

At mud bath, a good number of elephants went in for wallowing despite the coldness of the water. They came out fast however and walked back to the bush to browse. As the afternoon went on it warmed up significantly, as the cloud cover disappeared, and later the orphans had to seek shelter from the sun. Oltaiyoni later led the whole group back home in the evening for their milk with Kithaka, Garzi and Barsilinga being more reluctant to follow them. They came in late after the orphans were already in.

It was another quiet morning today as the dependent orphans walked out of their stockades in what seemed like slow motion today. They walked straight out to the bush in a hurry to go and browse. Mutara’s herd later came running in looking for the dependent babies to join them. Narok's group with Bomani and Orwa were among them. Kibo and Murka were also with them. They walked out in the direction the dependent orphans had gone and found them browsing out in the bush. Mutara was very active today and started play fighting with Orwa. She went on to roll around on the ground showing off playful poses. She went on to comfort Sana Sana, who had been pushed down by Pare. She's a very good caring elephant. They all later walked to the mud bath so the dependent orphans could have their milk bottles.

Siangiki led the group into the water after their bottles so they could swim. They started from one end of the water pool and swam to the other. Suguta, Sities, Kainuk, Bomani and Orwa got a fright when they realized they had been left behind by the group and ran very fast back to catch up with them.

Out in the bush, Mundusi was busy browsing while the others hid under the shade of the trees. Mutara’s herd later separated from the dependent orphans and walked away. Later the orphans walked back to their stockades as usual for the night. Kithaka, Garzi and Barsilinga followed the ex-orphans but they came back home later in the evening and were locked in.
