Only Malima and Ndiwa were outside the stockade when the orphans were let out after getting their morning milk. Vaarti settled at his usual rock for scratching while Ndiwa entwined her trunk with Kuishi in morning greetings. Ndiwa also questioned Kuishi about why it was taking too long for her to join them in the wild. Kuishi appeared to be upset by that question and simply walked away from Ndiwa. Half an hour later, the ex-orphans started trickling in and joined the orphans in feeding on lucerne. The orphans had already taken enough and started leaving one by one. 

At the browsing field, Vaarti settled to browse with Lodo while Roho teamed up with Suguroi and Kinyei. The sun was getting hot, and Kindani, Kinyei, Olorien, Roho, Vaarti, Esoit, and Suguroi decided to browse under trees that had nice shade. Shortly before mud bath time, the weather changed. Clouds covered the sky, bringing a cooling effect. 

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the orphans had their milk, then Esoit, Lodo, Suguroi, Vaarti, Mayan, Larro, and Naleku jumped into the mud wallowing water before heading for a soil dusting exercise. In the afternoon, the clouds cleared, giving way to sunshine. The orphans took a break from feeding to relax under trees with good shade. The orphans resumed browsing later when the temperatures dropped to a favourable level. 

In the evening, Bondeni led the way back to the stockades.
