Ithumba Unit  April   30, 2012 Soon after the Juniors had left the Compound, a group of Ex Orphans came in – Napasha, Loijuk, Challa, Chyulu, a wild bull, Kamboyo and Zurura. Having taken water, they left in the direction in which they had come. At mudbath time the Juniors were joined by Ex Orphans Mulika, Yatta, their babies, Wendi and Galana. Galana joined Kilaguni in the wallow while Kandecha tested his strength against Meibai. Meibai won, and then attempted to mount onto Kandecha, but Orok, who was a few meters away, came to Kandecha’s rescue, pushing Meibai away. All then went as one large herd to the slopes of Mazinga hill where they browsed until the evening, until it was time for the Juniors to return to the Stockades. The Ex Orphans began to head southwards.
