Insimu yeNamibia inamapaki amaningi kazwelonke wezinga nobukhulu obuhlukile. Omunye wabo u-Etosha - indawo yokugcina yemvelo, ephukile ejikeleze echibini legama elifanayo.
Umlando wokutholakala kwesitoreji se-Etosha
Abantu besizwe sama-Owambo abakhuluma ulimi lwesiKhoisan baqala ukulungisa indawo yalendawo evikelekile. Igama lokulondolozwa ngolimi lwabo lihumusha ngokuthi "isikhala esikhulu esimhlophe". Kamuva, ngenxa yezindawo ezungeze iLake Etosha, impi ephakathi kwamanye amazwe yaqala, ngenxa yalokho abantu base-Ovambo baxoshwa kule ndawo. Lapho abaseYurophu befika lapha, kwaqala ukusetshenziswa njengezwe lezolimo.
Isikhathi esisemthethweni sesisekelo sika-Etosha ngo-1907, futhi isimo sakhe sepaki kazwelonke sanikwa yona ngo-1958 kuphela. Indalo yakhe yasiza ekusindiseni izinhlobo zezilwane ezingavamile nezinengozini, kodwa namanje izinja nezinja zasendle zafa lapha phakathi nekhulu lama-20. Abaphathi besigodi se-Etosha kumele bahlale behlukunyezwa nabazingeli kanye nezinkunzi zokubulala, ngokushaya ngokuqondile amakhulu nezinkulungwane zezilwane ezinkulu (izitha zomfula, izitha zezintaba, izindlovu).
Indawo yokugcina imvelo Etosha
Kuwo wonke umlando womngcele walokhu okugcinwe kushintshiwe kaningi. Ngokusho kwedatha yakamuva, indawo yokugcina ingamamitha angu-22 275 square. km, cishe okungamamitha ayi-5123 square. km (23%) awela e-Etosha solonchak.
Kula mazwe, isimo sezulu esiqhingini saseKalahari kanye nengxenye eyomile yeNamibia yisici. Yingakho e-Etosha National Park kunezihlahla eziningi zeMopana, amahlathi ahlukahlukene kanye noname.
Izimila ezincane kangaka ziye zaba yindawo yokuphila kwezinhlobo eziningi zezilwane - ama-rhinoceros amnyama angavamile, indlovu ye-savanna, izintshe ze-Afrika, isirafu nabanye. Omunye wabamele abakhulu kakhulu bezilwane ze-Etosha yizingonyama eziseningizimu-ntshonalanga ye-Afrika. Ngokuphelele, insimu yale ndawo yokuvikela imvelo ikhiwe yi:
- Izinhlobo ezingu-14 zezilwane ezincelisayo;
- Izinhlobo ezingu-340 zezinyoni;
- Izinhlobo ezingu-110 zezilwane ezinwabuzelayo;
- Izinhlobo ezingu-16 zama-amphibians;
- 1 izinhlobo zezinhlanzi.
Njengoba egcinwa yi-Etosha eNamibia, umuntu angabona ukuthi amaqanda, izindlovu kanye nama-antelopes afika echibini ukuya emanzini, futhi kubhekwe lapha izingonyama zobusuku nezinyosi.
Ukuvakasha endaweni yokugcina e-Etosha
Abahambeli bevela emhlabeni wonke bafika kule ndawo yokugcina ukuze babone izakhamuzi zendawo futhi bafunde amathafa wendawo. Ikakhulukazi kubo ensimini yezindawo zokuvakasha ze-Etosha National Park zakhiwe:
- I-Halali Camp;
- Okaukuejo Camp;
- I-Onkoshi Camp;
- Namutoni Camp.
Izakhamuzi zeHalali ne-Okaukuejo zinamabhantshi namagumbi ahlukene, kanti eMamutoni, ngaphandle kwazo, kunezindawo zokuhlala. Ubusuku ekamelweni elibili lokudla kwasekuseni kunoma iyiphi yamahhotela e-Etosha National Park ubiza cishe u-$ 131. Ngaphezu kwalokho, indawo yezokuvakasha ifakwe esiteshini segesi kanye nezitolo.
Ngaphambi kokuvakashela indawo yase-Etosha eNamibia, khumbula ukuthi ukungena emotweni kuvunyelwe kuphela empumalanga. Engxenyeni esentshonalanga yepaki kuvunyelwe ukumisa yizimoto ezikhethekile kuphela zezivakashi. Kulesi simo, kudingeka ukhokhele ilungu ngalinye lenkampani kanye nemoto.
Ungayithola kanjani ku-Etosha?
Le paki kazwelonke itholakala enyakatho yezwe 163 km ukusuka emngceleni weNamibia ne-Angola kanye no-430 km ukusuka Windhoek . Kusuka enhloko-dolobha yaseNamibia, ungathola endaweni yokugcina e-Etosha kuphela ngomgwaqo. Baxhuma imigwaqo B1 no-C38. Ukubalandela kusuka e-Windhoek, ungafinyelela lapho uya khona ngamahora angu-4-5. Umgwaqo weC8 uholela engxenyeni esempumalanga ye-Etosha National Park, evunyelwe ukushayela okuzimele.
