September
The climate has changed and winter is all but gone. Night temperatures rise rapidly within the month and by month end the average reaches 15°C plus and day temperatures soar well into the 30°C. The sunshines, the skies are clear and it is really dry. Unbelievably the elephants concentrate in still greater numbers as do the buffalo keeping the predators busy as the season takes its toll on the prey species – it is a time of plenty for the lions. The colours explode as the carmine bee-eaters return for the summer. The first migrants arrive and storks start nesting. Water levels have slowly started to drop as the waters from Angola have completed their trek. Certain trees start to produce their first green shoots - fed by the floodwaters and temperatures and not by any rain, as the first rains are still about six weeks away.
