Intsimi yaseNamibia inemihlathi eminingi yelizwe yobukhulu nobukhulu obuhlukeneyo. Omnye wabo ngu-Etosha - indawo yokugcina indawo, ephulwe ngasentla kweli gama elifanayo.
Imbali yokufunyanwa kwendawo yokugcina i-Etosha
Abantu besizwe sase-Owambo abathetha ulwimi lwesiKhoisan baqalisa ukulungisa indawo yendawo ekhuselekile. Igama lokulondolozwa kolwimi lwabo liguqulela ngokuthi "indawo enkulu emhlophe". Kamva, ngenxa yamazwe ajikeleze iLake Etosha, imfazwe yangaphakathi, ngenxa yoko abantu ba-Ovambo baxoshwa kule ndawo. Xa abantu baseYurophu beza apha, kwaqala ukusetyenziswa njengendawo yezolimo.
Umhla wesiseko esisemthethweni u-Etosha ngowama-1907, kwaye isimo salo ipaki kazwelonke sanikwa yona ngo-1958 kuphela. Indalo yakhe yanceda ukugcina iintlobo zezilwanyana ezinqabileyo nezingozi, kodwa ke izilwanyana kunye nezinja zasendle zafa apha phakathi kwekhulu lama-20. Iesuphavayiza ze-Etosha zigcinwe ngokukhawuleza zilwa nabalusi kunye neendawo zokuxhela, ngokubetha ngokukhulula ngamakhulu kunye namawaka ezilwanyana ezinkulu (iifraba ezilula, iigubha zeentaba, izindlovu).
Indawo yokugcina indawo Etosha
Kuyo yonke imbali yomda walo mhlaba uguqule ngaphezu kweyodwa. Ngokutsho kwedatha yakutshanje, indawo yendawo yokugcina i-22 275 square metres. km, malunga ne-5123 square meters. km (23%) awela kwi-Etosha solonchak.
Kuba kula mazwe, inkqantosi yenkqantosi yeKalahari kunye nenxalenye engumileyo yeNamibia iyimpawu. Yingakho e-Etosha National Park kuneemithi ezininzi zeMopana, iintlobo ezahlukahlukeneyo kunye nameva.
Ezi zityalo ezincinci ziye zaba yindawo eninzi yezilwanyana zezilwanyana - i-rhinoceros engabonakaliyo ebomnyama, indlovu ye-savanna, inciniba ye-Afrika, isirafu kunye nabanye. Omnye wabameli abakhethekileyo bezilwanyana ze-Etosha yizona zingonyama zasezantsi-ntshona zaseAfrika. Ingqikithi, ummandla wale ndawo yokukhuselwa kwendalo uhlala kuyo:
- Iintlobo ezili-14 zezilwanyana;
- 340 iintaka zeentaka;
- Iintlobo ezili-110 zee-reptile;
- Iintlobo ezili-16 zama-amphibians;
- 1 iintlobo zeentlanzi.
Ukuba ugcinwa yi-Etosha eNamibia, umntu unokubona indlela amadiza, izindlovu kunye nama-antelopes eza echibini ukuya emanzini, kunye neengonyama zobusuku kunye ne-rhinoceroses zifakwe apha.
UkuKhenketho kwi-Etosha
Abahambi abavela kulo lonke ihlabathi bafika kule ndawo yokugcina ukuze babone abemi beendawo kwaye bafunde iimihlaba zendawo. Ngokukodwa kubo kwintsimi yeendawo zezokhenketho ze-Etosha National Park zenziwe:
- Iklasi yeHalali;
- Okaukuejo Camp;
- I-Onkoshi Camp;
- Namutoni Camp.
AmaHalali kunye ne-Okaukuejo amakampu anama-bungalows namagumbi ahlukeneyo, kwaye eMamutoni, ngaphandle kwabo, kukho iindawo zokuhlala. Ubusuku kwigumbi eliphindwe kabini kunye nesidlo sasekuseni kwiyiphi na ihotele e-Etosha National Park ixabisa i-$ 131. Ukongeza, indawo yezokhenketho ifakwe kwisikhululo segesi kunye neevenkile.
Ngaphambi kokutyelela indawo yokugcina yase-Etosha eNamibia, khumbula ukuba ukungena emotweni kuvunyelwe kuphela kwicala lasempuma. Kwindawo engasentshona yepaki iyavunyelwa ukuba imise ngeemoto ezikhethiweyo kuphela. Kule meko, kufuneka uhlawule umrhumo ilungu ngalinye lenkampani kunye nemoto.
Indlela yokufikelela ku-Etosha?
Le ipaki kazwelonke ihlala kumntla welizwe eli-163 km ukusuka kumda weNamibia kunye ne-Angola kunye ne-430 km ukusuka eWhohohoek . Ukusuka kwinqununu yaseNamibia, unokufikelela kwindawo yokugcina indawo yase-Etosha kuphela. Badibana neendlela B1 kunye neC38. Ukubalandela ukusuka eWhohohoek, unokufikelela kwindawo oya kuyo kwiiyure ezine-4. Indlela yeC8 ikhokela kwingxenyana empuma ye-Etosha National Park, evunyelwe ukuqhuba ngokuzimeleyo.
