I-Kruger National Park, eNingizimu Afrika: I-Complete Guide

Ngokusobala indawo yokugcina umdlalo edume kakhulu kuwo wonke ama-Afrika, i-Kruger National Park iyindawo enamakhemitha angu-19,633 square / 7,580 engxenyeni esenyakatho-mpumalanga yeNingizimu Afrika. Ihlola izifundazwe zaseLimpopo naseMpumalanga, futhi iqhubekela phambili emngceleni kazwelonke noMozambique. Kuyindawo yokugcina yezokuvakasha eNingizimu Afrika, enikeza ukuvakashelwa kwamalanga, ukuhlala ubusuku, ukuhamba kwe-self-drive kanye nokushayela kwemidlalo eqondisiwe.

Umlando wePaki

I-Kruger National Park yasungulwa ngokuyisisekelo njengesiphephelo sezilwane zasendle ngo-1898, lapho isimemezelwa njengeSabie Game Reserve ngumongameli weRiphabhuliki iTransvaal, uPaul Kruger. Ngo-1926, ukuguqulwa koMthetho kaZwelonke wamaPaki kwaholela ekuhlanganiseni iKruger neShingwedzi Game Reserve eseduze, okwakhiwa ipaki kazwelonke yokuqala yaseNingizimu Afrika. Muva nje, i-Kruger yaba yingxenye yeGreater Limpopo Transfrontier Park, ukubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe okujoyina ipaki neLimpopo National Park eMozambique; kanye neGonarezhou National Park eZimbabwe. Ngenxa yalokho, izilwane manje zingahamba ngokukhululekile emingceleni yamazwe ngamazwe njengoba ziyobe zenze eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane edlule.

I-Flora & Fauna

Usayizi wezinga elimangalisayo lepaki lisho ukuthi lifaka izindawo eziningi ze-eco-zones, kuhlanganise i-savannah, i-thornveld ne-woodland. Lokhu kuhlukahluka kwakha indawo efanelekayo yokuhlukahluka kwezinhlobonhlobo zezilwane nezilwane.

Izinhlobo zezilwane zasolwandle eziyi-147 zirekhodwe emingceleni yepaki, ngaphezu kwezilwane ezinwabuzelayo eziningi, izinhlanzi nama-amphibians. Phakathi kwazo yi- Big Five - ibhuloho, indlovu, ingonyama, ingwe kanye nebhejane (kokubili omnyama nomhlophe). I- Little Five nayo ikhona eKruger; kanti ezinye izindawo eziphezulu zihlanganisa u-cheetah, i-grysbok ye-Sharpe kanye nenja yasendle yase-Afrika engozini.

Isikhathi esingcono kakhulu sokubona izilwane zasendle kungenhla ekuseni noma ntambama, ngokushayela ebusuku okuhlinzekwayo okunikeza ithuba eliyingqayizivele lokubheka izinhlobo zelanga.

Ngokuphathelene ne-flora, i-Kruger iyikhaya kwezinye izihlahla eziphawulekayo ze-Afrika, kusukela ku-majestic baobab kuya kumarula omdabu.

Izinyoni eKruger

Izivakashi eziningi nazo ziyadonsela eKruger ngezinyoni zayo ezihlaba umxhwele. Ipaki ayikho ngaphansi kwezinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-507 zezilwane ezinwabuzelayo, kuhlanganise ne-Birding Big Six (i-hornbill yomhlabathi, i-kori bustard, i-lappet-face vulture, ukhozi wezilwane, isikhwama sogwayi nesibhakabhaka). Kuyaziwa nangokuhlukahluka okumangalisayo kwama-raptors; futhi ikakhulukazi, ngenxa yezinkozi zayo, ezivela e-colorful bateleur ukhozi kuya ekhozi oluhle kakhulu. Amanzi, imifula kanye namadamu emapaki, amaphuzu akhethekile kakhulu kubantu abahamba ngezinyoni . Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinyoni eziningi ziyakhangwa ezindaweni zomphakathi zepikiniki kanye nokuphumula. Uma ukushayela kubaluleke kakhulu, hlela ukuhlala kwelinye lamakamu asezindaweni ezikude kakhulu, okuzo zonke izindawo ezibuka amapulatifomu noma izigcawu kanye nohlu lwabantu abahlala khona.

Imisebenzi ePaki

Iningi labantu livakashela i-Kruger ukuze ihambe ngendlela ephephile. Ungadlulisa imoto yakho emigwaqweni egcinwe kahle neyolwandle; noma bhala idrayivu yokugijima eqondisiwe kunoma yikuphi kwamakamu okunye.

Izinketho zokugcina zihlanganisa ukushayela ekuseni, ntambama nasebusuku. Enye yezindlela ezingcono kakhulu zokubona ipaki kuyo yonke ubuhle bayo ngezinyawo, ngokuhamba ngezinyawo emakamu, noma emgwaqweni owodwa we-Wilderness Road. Abathandekayo abane nabane bangahlola izimoto zabo (kanye nemikhumbi yabo) emigwaqeni yepaki, lapho izintaba ze-Olifants zenziwa ngezintaba zezintaba. Abagibeli begesi bangakwazi ngisho nokukhishwa e-Skukuza Golf Course, okungahlanjululwa yi-green-imbozwe njalo imvubu, i-impala kanye ne-warthog.

I-Kruger nayo inomlando wesintu othakazelisayo, nobufakazi babantu kanye nookhokho babo bokuqala ababehlala esifundeni iminyaka engaba ngu-500 000. Izingosi zokuvubukula ezingaphezu kuka-300 ze-Stone Age zitholwe ngaphakathi kwepaki, kanti ezinye izingosi eziphathelene nendawo ye Iron Iron neSan zikhona.

Ikakhulukazi, i-Kruger yaziwa ngamasayithi ayo ama-rock rock aseSan, okuyizinkulungwane ezingaba ngu-130 ezirekhodiwe. Amasayithi athakazelisayo okuthiwa i-anthropogenic afaka ama-Albasini Amanxiwa (izinsalela zomzila wezokuhweba wasePutukezi wekhulu le-19), kanye nezindawo ze-Iron Age eMasorini naseThumela.

Uzohlalaphi

Indawo yokuhlala e-Kruger National Park isukela emakamu okuhlala ematendeni nakwa-caravans ukuya ezindaweni zokuzakhela izindlu zokuhlala, izindlu zokuhlala ezinamakamelo amaningi kanye nezindawo zokuhlala ezinethezekayo. Kunezinkampani ezingu-12 zokuphumula eziyinhloko, zonke ezinikeza ugesi, isitolo, isiteshi sephethiloli, izindawo zokuhlanza izingubo kanye nesitolo sokudlela noma i-self-service café. Omane kulawa makamu amakhulu nawo anamakhempi awo asetshenziswayo. Ukuze uhlale ukhululekile, bhala i-cottage kwelinye lamakamu amahlanu asepaki. Lezi zikhawulelwe izivakashi ezingaphezu kwamabili, futhi zinezakhiwo ezimbalwa ngaphezu komzwelo oyingqayizivele wokude. Ukulala kanye nenkonzo yokuhlanza nsuku zonke kunikezwa kuzo zonke amakamu nezindlu zokulala, kuyilapho ukupheka izitsha nemfriji kunikelwa kakhulu.

Kunezindawo zokulala ezingu-10 zangasese ezisekelwe ekuvunyelwaneni ngaphakathi kwepaki. Lezi zinkanyezi ezingu-5, izinketho ze-ultra-luxury kulabo abafuna ukuhlanganisa izinsuku ezichithe ukubukwa kwemidlalo ngemidlo yokudla, izikhungo ze-spa nezinsizakalo ezingenakulinganiswa. Noma ngabe iyiphi indawo yokuhlala oyikhethile, ukubhuka kusengaphambili kubalulekile futhi kungenziwa ku-intanethi.

Ulwazi Lwemozulu & Ingozi Ye-Malaria

I-Kruger inesimo sezulu esishisayo esichazwa ngamahlobo ashisayo, ashisayo kanye nobusika obufudumele, obumnene. Iningi lemvula yaminyaka yonke yokupaka kwenzeka ngesikhathi sehlobo sasehlobo (ikakhulukazi kusukela ngo-Okthoba kuya ku-Mashi). Ngalesi sikhathi, ipaki inhle kakhulu futhi inhle, izinyoni zezinyoni zingcono kakhulu futhi amanani asezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu. Noma kunjalo, amahlamvu akhuphuka angenza umdlalo ube nzima nakakhulu, kanti inqwaba yamanzi atholakalayo kusho ukuthi izilwane aziphoqelelwe ukuba zihlangane emanzini. Ngakho-ke, izinyanga zasebusika ezishisayo zibhekwa njengento engcono kakhulu yokubukwa kwemidlalo. Qaphela ukuthi ebusika, ubusuku bungathola imfucuza - qiniseka ukupakisha ngokufanele.

Kubalulekile futhi ukwazi ukuthi i-Kruger National Park iphakathi kwendawo ye-malaria, nakuba ingozi yokuthola lesi sifo ngokuvamile ibhekwa njengephansi. Abantu abaningi bakhetha ukunciphisa ithuba lokutheleleka ngokunciphisa amathuba okulunywa (ukushayelwa i-malaria kuqhutshwa omiyane). Lokhu kusho ukugqoka imikhono emide namabhulukwe ngemuva kokuhlwa, ukulala ngaphansi komnatha wokuzungula nokusebenzisa ngokukhululekile. Indlela engcono kakhulu yokugwema ukubamba i-malaria , noma kunjalo, kufanele uthathe i-anti-malaria prophylactic. Kunezinhlobo ezintathu ezihlukene ezingasetshenziswa eKruger, zonke ezihluka ngokuvumelana nenani nemiphumela emibi. Buza udokotela wakho okuyiyona ndlela engcono kakhulu kuwe.

Ukufika Lapho

I-Kruger isheshe ifinyeleleke emgwaqweni wezivakashi ezizimele , nemigwaqo egcwele imigwaqo eholela kuwo wonke amasango angena ayisishiyagalolunye. Qinisekisa ukuthi ushiya isikhathi esiningi lapho uhlela uhambo lwakho, njengoba onke amasango avaliwe ebusuku (nakuba kungenwe isikhathi esingaphansi kungavunyelwa imali). Izivakashi zase-Overseas zikhetha ukugibela eGoli , bese zibamba indiza ehlangene kwenye yezindiza ezine. Kulezi zindawo, i-Skukuza Airport kuphela iphakathi kwepaki ngokwayo, kanti i-Phalaborwa Airport, iHoedspruit Airport kanye ne-Kruger / Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA) iseduze kwemingcele yayo. Izindiza zansuku zonke zikhona phakathi kweKapa neSkukuza, zezindiza ze-Hoedspruit kanye ne-KMIA; kuyilapho izivakashi ezivela eThekwini zingahamba ngqo kwi-KMIA.

Lapho ufika kunoma yiliphi lalezi zikhumulo zezindiza, ungakwazi ukuqasha imoto eqashisayo ukukuyisa (nakuzozonke) epaki. Ngaphandle kwalokho, ezinye izinkampanini zamabhasi ezizimele zihlela i-shuttles phakathi kwezindiza zezindiza kanye nepaki, kuyilapho labo ohambweni olufakwe emaphaketheni cishe bazobe bebhekelwa yizo zokuthutha.

Amanani

Izingane zikhokhiswa njengabantu abadala abaneminyaka engama-12. Izindawo zokuhlala nezindleko zemisebenzi ngayinye (kufaka phakathi i-Wilderness Trails, i-mountain bike safaris kanye nemoto yokuqondisa eqondisiwe) hlola iwebhusayithi ye-SANParks.
