On a cloudless, hot early morning all the orphans took a drink at the Stockade water trough before heading out to browse. After the mudbath, all sheltered under trees until the temperature dropped. Kilaguni and Sabachi attempted a Pushing Match, but Suguta intervened and separated the two boys.

It was a lovely morning. All the orphans were in a jovial mood, swinging their trunks from side to side as they headed out to browse led by Suguta. At the mudbath Kilaguni and Sabachi engaged one another in a Pushing Match which, on this occasion, was interrupted by the intervention of Tumaren.

Soon after leaving the Stockades, Kilaguni and Sabachi enjoyed an uninterrupted Pushing Match this time, before settling down to browse. Soon afterwards Yatta, Mulika, Kinna, Taita, Nasalot, Orok and a wild bull came to drink at the Stockade compound and then left. After the noon mudbath, the Juniors, led by Suguta browsed on the slopes of Ithumba hill before returning in the evening.

Kinna, Orok, Buchuma, Napasha and 2 wild bulls turned up to drink at the Stockades early in the morning for a drink. Kinna, Orok and Buchuma then joined the Junior group who were browsing nearby, Kinna choosing to remain close to Kilaguni. At about l0 a.m. Yatta, Selengai, Mulika, Taita and a wild bull joined the Junior group, all heading for the mudbath at 11 a.m. Kinna escorted Kilaguni to take his milk and then to the water bins prior to joining all the others at the mudbath. The Ex Orphans browsed with the Juniors up until 3 p.m. before separating.

Kilaguni put on a good display this morning, rolling around on the ground as Ithumbah led the rest of the Juniors out to browse. Upon realizing that he was left behind, Kilaguni ran to catch up. At 10 a.m. Wendi joined the Juniors, all keeping under shade, since the day had turned very hot. At the mudbath they were joined by Yatta, Mulika and a wild friend. After the mudbath Wendi and the other Ex Orphans went their way leaving the Juniors to browse as a group.

The Juniors enjoyed the usual Stockade activities until it was time to head off and feed. Kilaguni and Sabachi enjoyed a Pushing Match whilst the girls were occupied scratching their bodies against the Unloading Bay. Later Suguta headed to the Kone area where the Juniors settled down to browse.

Soon after the Juniors had taken water at the Stockade trough, they were joined by Nasalot, which made Kilaguni very happy indeed, since he loves Nasalot so much. Nasalot remained with the Juniors all morning, Kilaguni attached to her side throughout.

On another cool morning, the Juniors left the compound joyfully, swinging their trunks and playfully bumping against one another. At the field Nasalot joined the Juniors, instantly making for Kilaguni – her favourite, despite the arrival of new babies to choose from! Kilaguni and Sabachi were determined to challenge one another to a test of strength, but Nasalot would have none of it, and kept separating them! Only Chaimu and Ithumbah took a mudbath today while the rest opted for a dustbath.

Kilaguni and Sabachi enjoyed a Pushing Game this morning while Olare and Kibo rolled around on the ground until Ithumbah headed out to browse, followed by all the others. By l0 a.m. it was so hot that the Juniors took to shade. All enjoyed a lengthy mudbath again to cool themselves down, after which they took a dustbath before heading eastwards towards Kone to browse for the rest of the day.

Today while Kilaguni and Kandecha pushed one another, Kibo and Sabachi did the same, while Tumaren, Naisula, Murka, Olare and Ithumba were busy scratching themselves against the Unloading Bay. Meanwhile Chaimu, Melia, Suguta and Kitirua enjoyed a long drink at the trough. The rest of the day passed calmly.
