I-Masai Mara - Umhlahlandlela weNdunankulu kaZwelonke weKenya
I-National Park yaseMasai Mara iyindawo epaki yasePenya yase-Kenya. Yasungulwa ngo-1961 ukuvikela izilwane zasendle ezivela kubazingeli. I-Masai Mara yisona sizathu sokuba izivakashi eziningi zize eKenya futhi ubuhle bayo nezilwane eziningi zasendle ngeke zidumazeke. Lo mhlahlandlela oya eMasai Mara uzokutshela ukuthi yiziphi izilwane ongalindela ukuzibona, indawo yezindawo, indawo yokuhlala, indlela yokufika khona, nokuthi yini okumele uyenze ngaphandle kwemishini yokudlala.
Uphi i-National Park eMasai Mara?
I-Masai Mara iseningizimu-ntshonalanga yeKenya emngceleni weTanzania . Inqolobane ikhona e-Rift Valley eneTanzania Plains ehamba phambili ekupheleni kwayo. Umfula iMara ugijima endaweni enqabile (enyakatho kuya eningizimu) ubamba ama-hippo amaningi kanye nezingwenya futhi kwenza ukuhamba kwaminyaka yonke okungaphezu kwesigidi sezigidi kanye namakhulu ezinkulungwane zezimboni kube yingozi kakhulu.
Iningi lamaMasai Mara lakhiwa utshani obusenyakatho oludla imvula eminingi, ikakhulukazi phakathi nezinyanga ezimanzi phakathi kukaNovemba noJuni. Izindawo ezikude nomfula iMara zihlathini futhi zihlala ezinhlobonhlobo zezinyoni eziningi. Leli mephu lizosiza ukukuqondisa.
Wildlife yaseMasai Mara
Indawo yaseMasai Mara yiyona ndawo ethandwa kakhulu epaki ye-game ngoba incane (encane encane kunesi-Rhode Island ) okwamanje ibhekene nokuhlushwa okumangalisayo kwezilwane zasendle.
Usuke uqinisekisiwe ukubona i- Big 5 . Amabhubesi agcwele kulo lonke ipaki njengalezi ingwe, i- cheetah , ama-hyenas, isirafu, i-impala, i-wildebeest, i-topi, imfene, ama-warthogs, ama-buffalo, i-zebra, izindlovu, nama-hippos nama-crocodi eMfuleni iMara.
Isikhathi esihle kakhulu sokuhamba siphakathi kukaJulayi no-Okthoba lapho i- wildebeest ne-zebra beyizinombolo zabo eziphezulu futhi banikeza ukudla okuningi kwezingonyama, ama-cheetah, nezingwe.
Isikhathi esingcono kakhulu sokubuka izilwane kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kusasa noma kusihlwa. Ukuze uthole amanye amathiphu ekuqapheliseni izinyoni zasendle bheka amathiphu ami e-safari ephumelelayo .
Ngenxa yokuthi le ndawo ayikho izicingo ongabona ngempela imvelo yasendle ngaphakathi kwemingcele yayo njengaphandle kwezindawo ezakhiwe yizizwe zamaMaasai. Ngo-2005/6 umlondolozi obonwayo, uJake Grieves-Cook waya kumaMaasai ayephethe umhlaba oseduze ne-Reserve futhi anikele ukuqasha izingxenye zawo. Ngokushintshanisa, amaMaasai athembise ukuthi azophuma kuleli zwe futhi angadli izinkomo zabo kuwo. Izwe liphindaphinda libuyele emasimini amakhulu futhi izilwane zasendle zikhula. AmaMaasai akhokhwa ukuqashwa, futhi imindeni eminingi iyazuza ekuqeshweni kwamanye amakamu eco-friendly akhiwe. Izinombolo zokuvakasha nezinqola ze-safari azikhawulelwanga, okuholela ekuhlangenwe nakho okungcono kakhulu kwe-safari nxazonke. (Okuningi ku- Conservancies eMara ). Ngaphakathi kwemvelo, akuyona into engavamile ukubona izimoto ezingu-5 noma ezingu-6 ze-safari ezigcwele izivakashi ezithatha izithombe zengonyama eyodwa ngokubulala kwayo.
Ukuze uthole imininingwane eminingi mayelana nezilwane ezincelisayo kanye nezinyoni zezilwane endaweni yokugcina bheka ikhasi laseKenyaology mayelana nokuphila kwezilwane zasendle kaMara
Izinto Okumele Zizenzele nasezindaweni ezizungeze iNtaba yaseMasai Mara
- Amageyimu wegeyimu . Uma ugijime ngqo e-Masai Mara Reserve ngaleso sikhathi iphakheji yakho ye-safari izovame ukufaka amashayela amaningi emidlalo yansuku zonke. Uma uqashise imoto yakho bese kunconywa ukuthi uthola ibalazwe lokugcina noma uthathe u-askari (umlindi) nawe.

AbaHlengi Abancinci Abancane bahambisana kakhulu namatende angu-17 okunethezeka ahlala eduze komfula wamanzi lapho ungakujabulela khona ubusuku ebusuku ngenkathi ususa iwayini elihle kakhulu. Amanani aqala ku-$ 290 umuntu ngamunye ahlanganyela itende elibili, lokhu kuhlanganisa ukudla, imoto yokushayela, nokuhlala.
Ikamu lababusi base-Ilmoran linikeza ukuphakama kwekamu elinethezeka ngamatende angu-10 kuphela, ngalinye elinama-verandas, izindlu zangasese ezihlambalaza, amabhati ase-Victorian kanye nemibhede ekhululekile. Ukudla, kunjalo, kuhle kakhulu. Amanani aqala ngo-$ 390 umuntu ngamunye abelana ngetende eliphindwe kabili, lokhu kuhlanganisa ukudla, ukushayela imoto nokuhlala.
Ikamu labaPhathimandla abaPhezulu kubanjwe njengenjabulo njengekamu le-Ilmoran kodwa ikakhulukazi ngoba kuphela amaqembu angashadile akwazi ukuyiqashisa ngesikhathi esisodwa. Okungenani okungenani izivakashi ezingu-4 kumele zihlale okungenani ubusuku obungu-3. Amanani aqala ngo-$ 500 umuntu ngamunye abelana itende elibili, lokhu kufaka ukudla, imoto yokushayela kanye nokuhlala.
- I-Sarova Mara Tented Camp. Ukufinyeleleka kalula, le mikampu ekhonjiwe imincane kakhulu namathempeli angama-75 ahlala emasimini amahle anemifudlana kunhlangothi zonke zomhlaba.

Nayi imephu ukukusiza ukuthi uthole lezi zindlela zokuhlala.
Njengoba iNqaba yeMasai Mara ingavaliwe kukhona izilwane eziningi zasendle ezibonakala ngaphandle kwendawo yokugcina njengoba kungaphakathi. Lezi zindawo zokulala nezinkampani ezilandelayo zingenani elilinganayo kulo mvakashi endaweni yaseMasai Mara Reserve:
- I-Kichwa Tembo Camp iyikamu elinethezeka elijwayele ukunethezeka elinamatende angu-40, indawo yokudlela kanye nedamu lokubhukuda.

I-Budget Indawo yokuhlala eMasai Mara
Izinketho zokuhlala endaweni yesabelomali endaweni yaseMasai Mara zikhawulelwe ezindaweni ezisemakhaya. Kunezinkampu ezingaphezu kuka-20 ezizungeze i-Reserve kodwa futhi ambalwa amamephu awakhiwe kuwo wonke ambalwa kanti ezinye ziyisisekelo kakhulu futhi zingaphephile kancane. Uma ungeke ukwazi ukubhuka kusengaphambili zama ukucela ulwazi kunoma yimaphi amasango okugcinwe kuyo.
Amakhamuzi amaningi akhiwe eduze namasango ngakho akufanele uhambe kakhulu.
Umhlahlandlela we-Lonely Planet ubala i- Oloolaimutiek Camp Site eduze nesango lase-Oloolaimutiek noMfula i - Riverside eduze kwesango laseTalek. Womabili amakamu aqhutshwa amaMaasai wendawo.
Indlela enhle yokujabulela isitatimende sebhajethi yebhajethi eMasai Mara ukuzobhuka nomqhubi wezokuvakasha . I-AfrikaGuide inikeza indawo yokuhamba yezinsuku ezingu-3, isibonelo, ukuqala ku-$ 270 umuntu ngamunye okubandakanya amatende, ukudla, izimali zepaki nokuthutha.
I-Kenyaology inolwazi oluphelele kakhulu mayelana namakhamera azungeze iNqolobane.
