Mutara’s herd, which currently has twelve members, joined the dependent orphans as soon as they were let out this morning. Lemoyian engaged Tusuja in a strength testing exercise as a few orphans settled to have some water. Lemoyian and Tusuja's game came to an abrupt end when Suguta intervened by pushing the two boys out of her way. Ambo teamed up with his adopted sister Kamok, who takes care of him when Siangiki is doing other things. Later, Jotto, Karisa and Dololo spent some time scratching against some trees while Kuishi settled for soil dusting. Olsekki played with Lemoyian and later tackled Bomani. Orwa played with Turkwel and thereafter had his own game of rolling on the ground. 

At mud bath time, Mapia, Maramoja and Olsekki relaxed under a tree before joining their friends to wallow in the mud bath. One wild elephant was present at mud bath and escorted the orphans and ex-orphans to continue browsing in the afternoon. Kauro spend some time playing with Namalok as Orwa played with Kibo. In the evening, seven wild bulls showed up at the stockade compound for water. The bulls left when they felt that they had taken enough.

Out in the bush this morning, Mapia settled to browse with Ndiwa while Malima teamed up with Lemoyian. Mutara’s herd was here and Sities played with Orwa and later turned on Kainuk. Olsekki later played Lemoyian. The rest of the morning was quiet. At mud bath time, the orphans were joined by Meibai who had brief interaction with Mutara and Orwa. The Ithumba dependent orphans went round the mud bath but were not interested in wallowing due to a cold blowing wind. Only Kilaguni jumped into the water and had fun before coming out when he was done. 

In the afternoon, the orphans headed west along the slopes of the Ithumba Hill where they settled to browse for the rest of the day. In the evening, Sunyei, baby Siku, Lenana, Ishanga, Kinna and Kama showed up at the stockade and teamed up with Mutara’s herd. After sometime, the herd left back out into the bush. 

Malima left the stockade with a branch in her trunk which she continued to enjoy feeding on as she waited for Lucerne. Orwa and Bomani checked in at the stockade compound with their new found wild friend. The three joined the dependent orphans to feed on Lucerne. After feeding on Lucerne, the boys settled for pushing games. Sapalan played with his best friend Namalok while Mundusi played with Tusuja. Rapa attempted to climb on Jotto, something which annoyed Jotto who turned and tried to fight Rapa. Shortly later, a wild bull joined in and walked with the orphans out to the bush. Kuishi settled to browse with Sana Sana while Rapa played with Galla. Later, Enkikwe engaged Namalok in a strength testing exercise while Kamok settled for a scratching exercise. 

Sattao led Dololo and Malima in the first group for the noon milk feed. In the afternoon the orphans settled west of Ithumba Hill where they browsed calmly without any major distractions. Loijuk’s herd with Mutara’s group visited the stockades later in the evening.
