Kusukela ngoJuni kuya ku-Okthoba, intaba iyisibusi (ngenxa yenkathi ehambisana namaholide asehlobo asempumalanga), kodwa izinsuku zifudumele futhi ziyamnandi. Kungcono ukugwema izinyanga ezinamanzi ka-Ephreli, ngoMeyi, noNovemba ngenkathi izingubo ezifudumele zidingeka emhlanganweni wonke unyaka wonke.
Ithiphu Ephezulu: Bhala kahle kusengaphambili ukuze uhambo oluphakeme lwezinkathi ngezimo ezikhuphuke kakhulu.
Lungiselela Impumelelo
Nakuba ukuqeqeshwa kwezintaba akudingekile, izinga lokuzivocavoca elifanele lihamba phambili eKilmanjaro. Uma ngabe ulahlekile kulo mnyango, uzofuna ukusebenza ngamandla akho ezinyangeni eziholela ekuhambeni kwakho.
