Narrator:
They live in the vastness of the Kalahari in small family groups. One family of Bushmen might meet up with another once in a few years, but for the most part they live in complete isolation, unaware there are other people in the world. In the deep Kalahari, there are Bushmen who have never seen or heard of civilized man.
Transcript
It looks like a paradise,but
it is in fact
the most treacherous desert
in the world--the Kalahari.
After the short rainy season,
there are many water holes,
and even rivers,
but after a few weeks,
the water sinks away
into the deep Kalahari sand.
The water holes dry up,
and the rivers stop flowing.
The grass fades
to a beautiful blond color
that offers excellent grazing
for the animals,
but for the next nine months,
there'll be no water to drink,
so most of the animals
move away,
leaving the beautiful
blond grass uneaten.
Humans avoid the deep Kalahari
like the plague,
because man must have water
to live,
so the beautiful landscapes
are devoid of people...
except for the little people
of the Kalahari.
Pretty, dainty,
small and graceful,
the Bushmen.
Where any other person would
die of thirst in a few days,
they live quite contentedly
in this desert
that doesn't look
like a desert.
They know where to dig
for roots and bulbs and tubers,
