Another quiet morning for the Juniors. Out in the bush the Juniors separated into two groups, one led by Suguta and the other by Mutara. With Suguta’s group were Junior bulls Kilaguni, Kandecha, Chemi Chemi, Ololoo, Sabachi and Kibo and girls Tumaren and Olare who managed to dodge the Keepers, and never even showed up at the Mudbath, but turned up at the Stockades in the late evening.

Lualeni joined the Juniors as soon as they were let out of their Night Stockades. Turkwel led them out to browse but Lualeni browsed in amongst them all morning, and led them to the mudbath venue at 11 a.m. Meanwhile the Ex Orphans turned up at the Stockades. After the mudbath Lualeni took Ololoo, Suguta Tumaren, Sabachi, Kibo, Kitirua, Melia, Kilaguni, Chaimu, Kalama, Chemi Chemi, Makireti, Murka and Ishanga off with her, leaving the rest with the Keepers. At 6 p.m. all but Lualeni and Ololoo returned to the Stockades, Lualeni having decided to again snatch Ololoo for a wild night out, something she has done several times before.

Lualeni returned Ololoo to his peers in the morning, joining the Juniors as they were heading out to browse. She remained with the Juniors all morning. At the mudbath the Juniors were joined by Mulika, her baby Mwende and a group of Ex Orphans who joined the Juniors at the dusting session, before leaving. Later in the afternoon Kilaguni and Kandecha joined Yatta’s Ex Orphan group. At 5 p.m. Kilaguni returned alone without Kandecha, who came back much later only at 9 p.m.

Mulika and her group joined the Juniors to share their Lucerne in the morning, leaving Lualeni behind with them when they left. Kilaguni and Kasigau enjoyed a vigorous Pushing Match which was won by Kilaguni. It was a hot day so all the orphans enjoyed a lengthy wallow at noon, followed by a dust bath. Lualeni then led them back to browse for the afternoon, returning them to the Stockades at dusk.

An hour after the Juniors had left the Stockade compound, Lualeni and Ololoo came with all the Ex Orphans who were with Wild Bulls Rafiki, Half Trunk, Mshale and l0 others. At the mudbath the Juniors were joined by Nasalot, Mulika and Mwende, Wendi, Makena, and Naserian and all enjoyed a Soil Bath together. Later that afternoon Kilaguni and Chaimu left with the Ex Orphan group, but Mulika returned them to the stockades before 5 p.m. where they awaited the arrival of their Junior peers.
