Today, the orphans chose to have some lucerne which the Keepers put out for them soon after leaving their stockades. Kithaka, who arrived at the compound last night and joined the night gang, joined the dependent orphans in the morning. Kuishi appears to be falling in love with little Esoit and walked side by side with him. Shortly later, Neshashi and Olorien led the way out to browse.

Kuishi engaged Kauro in a pushing game. However, it didn't last for long, as she couldn't quite match Kauro’s strength. Sattao rolled around on the ground and threw his trunk in the air as if showing off. Roho came over and tried to engage Sattao in a wrestling match while Sattao was still on the ground. Ambo played with Dololo and later turned on Musiara. At one point, the orphans were briefly joined by Challa. They raised their trunks high in the air to greet Challa, and Mapia, Ndiwa, Nabulu and Malkia, who are part of the night gang, decided to follow him when he left.

The orphans browsed quietly as they slowly headed towards the mud bath. They had their noon milk feed then scattered out in the bush close by to continue feeding. Kuishi took her darling Esoit to cool off in the small mud wallow, and when they were done, they walked off together to continue browsing. Roho and Musiara came across a nice tree that they used to scratch their backs and bellies against. Sana Sana settled to browse with her favourite Naboishu, while Olorien teamed up with Larro. The orphans then chose to browse in the Kanziku area for the rest of the afternoon and had a quiet time. In the evening, only Sana Sana and Malima from the night gang decided to return to the stockade with the rest of the juniors.

It was a clear morning when the orphans were let out. Naisula, who appears to be slowly forming her own group, was present. Her daughter, Nyx, is a favourite of all the dependent girls. Her nannies include Esampu, Mteto, Maramoja, Ndiwa, Malima, and now the latest is Nabulu. After feeding on lucerne, the orphans headed to Kone area while Naisula took her small team to join the other ex-orphans.

At the browsing field, the playful Suguroi came across a log of wood that she pushed and kicked with her back legs. After having enough fun with the log, Suguroi teamed up with Musiara and Malkia to browse while Olorien settled with Lodo. Naboishu, Sattao, Esoit, Sagateisa, and Kuishi took a break from feeding to have fun by rolling on the ground. At eleven o'clock in the morning, Olorien led the way to the mud bath. The orphans had their milk, then scattered near each other, performing different activities. Jotto played with Naboishu while Roho, Neshashi, and Naleku had mud bath at a small water hole. Nasalot, Noah, Kaia, Lualeni, Lulu, Lexi, Galana, Mulika, Mwende, and Mkuu showed up at mud bath but didn't interact with the orphans. The ex-orphans enjoyed a cooling off exercise for quite some time before leaving to an undisclosed location. In the afternoon, Lodo settled to browse with Musiara while Larro teamed up with Malkia. Kamok, Rapa, and Mapia were spotted at a roadside mudbath doing their own things. In our view, Kamok is trying to form her own group. In the evening, the orphans returned safely to the stockade.

Barsilinga, Enkikwe, Chyulu, and Cheka joined the orphans in the morning. Chyulu and Cheka briefly settled on lucerne. Roho came close to Cheka and tried to entice him into a pushing game. Cheka declined and held closely to his mother, as he knew what Roho wanted. The moment he would have fallen into Roho’s trick, the other boys would have joined to wrestle him. To avoid all this drama, Cheka decided not to play at all. Moments later, Chyulu walked away with her son. Sattao followed them a distance, then changed his mind. Enkikwe held a brief meeting with Barsilinga. Later, Musiara engaged Barsilinga into a light pushing game. Esoit rumbled, registering some complaint. This saw Kuishi running to check what was happening to her baby. Esoit calmed down when Kuishi came and stood close to him. Shortly later, Naleku led the way to the browsing field. Esoit came across a fallen tree that he used to scratch his belly.

It was a quiet morning; the orphans browsed slowly as they headed towards the mud bath. At eleven o'clock in the morning, Olorien led the first group while Larro led the second one. Soon after taking their milk, Suguroi led the team into a mud bathing exercise that lasted for quite some time. When the orphans had enough of wallowing, Neshashi led the way back to the browsing field. Jotto teamed up with Sattao as Naboishu scratched his belly on shrubs. Malima, Ndiwa, and Nabulu, who had joined the orphans in the morning, parted ways with the juniors and disappeared into undisclosed location. In the evening, the orphans returned safely to the stockade.

Kauro, Mapia and Rapa showed up in the morning and joined the orphans in feeding on lucerne. Afterwards, Roho engaged Esoit into a pushing game. Mapia, who was nearby, intervened and separated the two boys. Malima found a suitable rock that she used to scratch her bottom. Rapa engaged Jotto into pushing game that ended into a draw. Later, Jotto walked over to Mapia and engaged him to a strength testing exercise. Their game too ended into a draw. The orphans headed north of stockades where they settled for browsing. Sana Sana teamed up with Kuishi while Naleku settled to browse with Suguroi.

Lodo was pushed by Naboishu as he enjoyed feeding on a shrub. Lodo didn't complain and instead chose to move away. This was wise; complaining would be futile, as he is too small to outmatch Naboishu. Larro settled to browse with Malkia while Larro teamed up with Malkia and later Roho. The orphans browsed calmly as they headed towards mud bath. At mud bath time, the orphans had their milk then had mud bath before heading for a soil bathing exercise. Mukkoka engaged Dololo into a strength testing exercise as Roho attempted to ride on Olorien. In the afternoon, the sun was hot and the orphans took a break from feeding to relax under trees until the temperatures dropped to a favourable level. The orphans resumed to browse and at five o'clock in the evening, Suguroi led the first group back to the stockades.

Olsekki and Barsilinga, who had spent the night outside the stockades, joined the orphans first thing in the morning. Shortly later, the Queen's family emerged from the eastern side and came straight to join the orphans for lucerne. The family has two young ones who engaged Naleku, Sagateisa, and Roho into pushing games. Mapia, Kauro, Rapa, and Enkikwe showed up and joined in feeding of lucerne. Kamok, who left with Mapia, Malkia, Nabulu, Malima, and Rapa, hasn't shown up for some time now. It's not clear which group she has joined because of her naughty behaviour of disliking the young babies. Hopefully, she has found her old friend Galla.

At the browsing field, Roho the playful boy engaged Olorien into a pushing game. The orphans settled at Kone area and were briefly joined by a wild bull that was on his way to an undisclosed location. Roho, Sattao, Ambo, Jotto, and Esoit lifted their trunks to wave to the bull, signalling respect and greetings. The bull waved back before disappearing into the bushes. At mud bath time, the weather was chilly and only Mapia and Rapa participated in wallowing. Yatta and her kids showed up at mud bath, later joined by Mutara and Kilabasi’s group. Naleku engaged Yoyo in a pushing game that ended when Roho, Lodo, and Sattao pushed Yoyo away. Esoit and Kinyei interacted with Kofi, but Kofi didn't trust them. He thought that these two orphans might have a plan to bully him, so he retreated to his mother. Before parting ways, the orphans and the ex-orphans had joint exercise of soil dusting. In the afternoon, the orphans settled to browse at Kanziku area. Jotto played Sattao while Mukkoka challenged Naboishu to a strength testing exercise. Roho winded up the day activities by engaging Roho into a pushing game. In the evening, Suguroi led the first group back to the stockades, Kindani led the second group, Olorien the third group, Neshashi the fourth group, and finally Jotto led the fifth group.
