Only days after Kilabasi and Kanjoros journey to Ithumba, the momentous morning came on Friday 25th January to transfer three of the Nairobi Nurserys oldest females orphans, Shukuru, Tano and Mutara, to the Ithumba reintegration stockades. Mutara, now three and a half years old was one of the Nurserys chief and much loved matriarchs alongside Murera, having been rescued in 2009 at the tender age of seven days old from Mutara Ranch in northern Kenya. Shukuru like Mutara was rescued as a newborn at just three days old having been saved by a herdsman after falling down a manhole on the Mzima-Mombasa Pipeline over three years. Tano was two and a half months old on her rescue in 2009 from Loisaba Ranch in Laikipia, having been found on her own at "boma tano", the 5th cattle holding area on the ranch.
