07:30 The fire seemed to have started again and the cause unknown. We fought fires throughout the day and started back burning on Weenen Safari to stop the fires reaching Elworthy. We were busy fighting fire when a male and female Giraffe from Weenen Safari's got cornered and headed straight for the fence. The male giraffe tried to run through the fence and got its head stuck in the fence. We had to cut it loose and it ended up on Elworthy. It looked fine and no injuries could be seen. We stopped at about 16:45

07:30 The day was spent checking up on the burn sites and we tried herding the male Giraffe back to Weenen. We were unable to do this however. We checked the Ryefield and started the pump for the centre pivot. We saw a female Waterbuck at the foot of the mountain on our way back to farm house. We also went to Vertrek and Geluk to see the fire damage. The road on Vertrek is almost finished now.

Mike and the workers managed to get the male Giraffe back through to Weenen Safari's and all the fires seem under control and put out
