million years ago. Some patterns of life, death, adaptation and
migration are as old as the hills themselves. Meals and overnight at

northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October
and November, and then swirl west and north after the long rains in
April, May and June. So strong is the ancient instinct to move that no
drought, gorge or crocodile infested river can hold them back. Meals and
