Season's of the Kalahari

In the dry months, April to September, ostrich eggs are used to store water. From Qani's perspective, "Our short autumn, which comes in April, is the best of all the seasons. Apart from a rare vagrant shower, the heavy rains are passed, but there is still water in small pans scattered about our hunting area."

"The big rains have driven away the great heat of spring and early summer. The biting cold that lengthens winter nights has not set in."
