Enye yezinto ezinhle kakhulu mayelana nokuya eholidini kuya e-Afrika ishiya ukukhathazeka komsebenzi wakho wansuku zonke nempilo ngemuva. Kubantu abaningi (kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukhetha ukuhamba nge-safari noma uchitha isonto elikhululekile olwandle), ukuhamba kwe-Afrika kuwukuphela kokulungiswa nokuphindaphinda ngendlela elula yokuphila. Noma kunjalo, uma ushiya umndeni noma abangane ngemuva, kuhle ukuvumela abathandekayo bakho bazi ukuthi ufike ngokuphepha, noma ukubamba ngezikhathi ezithile ezindabeni ezivela ekhaya.
Kulesi sihloko, sibheka ezimbalwa izindlela ezilula zokuhlala ekuthinteni.
Amafoni eselula e-Afrika
Ukufika kwamafoni angabizi kahle kuye kwashintsha ukuxhumana kuleli zwekazi. Cishe wonke umuntu unomakhalekhukhwini, futhi izinkampani eziningi zase-Afrika zivula indlela yokusetshenziswa okusha nobuchwephesha kwezobuchwepheshe befoni. Isignali yeselula itholakale kalula emadolobheni amakhulu kanye namadolobha amakhulu, kanti ngisho nasemahlathini, kungenzeka ukuthi umhlahlandlela wakho we-Maasai uzokwazi ukusebenzisa ifoni yakhe ukubiza ekhaya futhi athole ukuthi ngabe isidlo sekusondele yini. Kodwa-ke, akukho okunye okusho ukuthi i-iPhone yakho eyimfashini izoba nanoma ikuphi ukusetshenziswa kuwe ku-safari. Ukusakazwa kwenethiwekhi kuhlala kungathembeki ezindaweni zasemakhaya, futhi noma ngabe kukhona, ngeke kuhambisane neselula yakho yamazwe omhlaba.
Ukuthola Ifoni Yakho Yisebenze
Indlela engcono kakhulu yokuqinisekisa ukuthi ungafinyelelwa ngenkathi uhlala e-Afrika ukuxhumana nomhlinzeki wefoni yakho kusengaphambili. Izinkampani eziningi ezinkulu (kufaka phakathi i-AT & T, i-Sprint ne-Verizon) zinamalungiselelo akhethekile wamazwe ngamazwe.
Uma uhamba njalo futhi inkampani yangakini ingeke ikunikeze isilinganiso esihle, hlola umhlinzeki we-SIM khadi jikelele kanye nenkampani eqashisayo yefoni njenge-Telestial noma i-Cellular Extern. Noma ngabe iyiphi indlela oya kuyo, qinisekisa ukuthi ucacise amazwe oya kuwo, futhi uthole ukuthi inani lenkampani kusengaphambili.
Buza ukuthi uzokhokhiswa yini noma cha izinkomba ezingenayo ezivela phesheya; nokuthi uzokhokhiswa kangakanani ngokuthumela imiyalezo esikhundleni sokubizela (ngokuvamile, ukuthumela imiyalezo kungabizi).
Ithiphu Ephezulu: Qinisekisa ukupakisha ishaja yefoni kanye ne-adaptha yamandla afanele. Amashaja we-solar amnandi kakhulu ukuya ezindaweni ezikude ngegesi elinganiselwe.
Ukusebenzisa i-intanethi ku-Home Contact
Amahhotela amaningi asezindaweni zasemadolobheni anikela nge-WiFi (nakuba kungakaze kuqinisekiswe ukusebenza). Ngisho nezindawo zokulala ezikude kakhulu zivame ukunikeza ukufinyelela kwe-intanethi. Ngokuvamile, ukuxhuma kunelungelo lokuthumela ama-imeyili, ukuhlola imithombo yezokuxhumana kanye nokusebenzisa i-FaceTime noma i-Skype; nakuba ungase ufune ukusindisa ukulayisha izithombe ezingenakubalwa zokulungiswa lapho ufika ekhaya. Okumangalisa ukuthi ihhotela lakho libiza kakhulu, okungenzeka ukuthi ukhokhele kakhulu inthanethi. Izindawo zokudlela ze-intanethi kanye nezindlu zehostela ze-WiFi ezihlomekile ngokuvamile ziyindlela engabizi. Ngenxa yokuthi amanethiwekhi weselula ayatholakala kalula ezindaweni eziningi kunegesi, uxhumano lwe-3G kwi-smartphone yakho luvame ukukhetha okuthembekile kunabo bonke.
Ithiphu Ephezulu: Uma ungenayo kakade, qiniseka ukuthi usethe i-akhawunti e-mail e-web ngaphambi kokuthi uhambe, ukuze ukwazi ukuthola futhi uthumele kalula imilayezo kunoma iyiphi uxhumano lwe-intanethi e-Afrika.
Injabulo Yase Skype
Uma ucabanga ukuthi ungathola uxhumano lwe-intanethi noma i-3G, i-Skype ngumngani omkhulu womhambi wamazwe omhlaba. Ungayisebenzisa ukubiza amanye ama-akhawunti we-Skype emhlabeni jikelele mahhala (futhi ungasebenzisa isici sevidiyo ukuze ubonise i-tan yakho noma indawo yakho enhle enokuhamba ngayo). Uma abangane bakho noma izihlobo zingenayo i-akhawunti ye-Skype, noma uma udinga ukuxhumana ngokuphuthumayo, ungasebenzisa ngisho isikweletu sase-Skype ukushayela ucingo lwabo noma ukuhlelwa komhlaba. Isikweletu se-Skype sihamba ngendlela emangalisayo, futhi izingcingo ezide zibiza amanani ambalwa nje ngomzuzu. Qiniseka ukuthi ubhalisela i-akhawunti bese ulanda uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Skype kwi-smartphone yakho noma i-laptop ngaphambi kwesikhathi.
Ayikwazi ukuthola lutho lokusebenza?
Uma ungakwazi ukuxhuma kwi-intanethi usebenzisa idivayisi yakho futhi udinga ngempela ukuthumela i-imeyli, hamba e-cafe e-intanethi noma ubuze ukuthi ungangena kwikhompuyutha edeskini elingaphambi kwehhotela lakho.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ikamu lakho le-safari likude kangakanani, zonke izingubo zingase zibe ngomakhalekhukhwini noma ifoni ye-satellite ngezimo eziphuthumayo. Buza ukuthi uyisebenzise ukubiza ikhaya uma kunesidingo (kodwa gcina ingxoxo yakho imfushane uma usebenzisa ifoni ye-satellites - iyaziwa ukuthi iyabiza).
