I-Botswana akungabazeki ukuthi enye yezindawo zasemaphandleni ezisebusayo kakhulu eNingizimu Afrika. Uma uhlela uhambo lwakho oluseduze nezilwane zasendle ezinengi zezwe, isikhathi esihle sokuhamba sisesimweni esomile . Ngalesi sikhathi, utshani buphansi futhi izihlahla zinamahlamvu amancane, okwenza kube lula ukubona izilwane ezifakwe emanzini. Ukuntuleka kwamanzi kubangelwa ukuthi izilwane zasendle zihlangane emigodini yamanzi okuhlala unomphela, noma ukuhambela umfula nsuku zonke.
Ngenxa yalokho, lesi yisikhathi esihle kakhulu sokubukwa kwezilwane zasendle e- Okavango Delta , kanye noMfula iKobe .
Kunemibandela eminingi kulo mthetho, noma kunjalo. Izilwane zasendle ezibukeka eDesheni laseKalahari ngokuvamile ziba ngcono ngesikhathi sehlobo sasehlobo, nakuba amazinga okushisa ashisa futhi amanye amakamu avaliwe kamuva kule nkathi. Inyoni ihlale ihle kakhulu ehlobo, ngezinhlobo ezifudukayo ezithandwa yizinambuzane ezishaya emvula. Kulabo abasesabelomali, inkathi yemvula (noma eluhlaza) inikeza izintengo ezihlisiwe ezisekuhlaleni nasezivakashi, okukuvumela ukuba uhlale isikhathi eside futhi wenze okuningi.
Isikhathi Esiqinile
Isikhathi esomile saziwa nangokuthi isizini esiphezulu se-safari, futhi ngokuvamile sihlala kusukela ngoMeyi kuya ku-Okthoba. Lokhu kubusika eBotswana - yisikhathi esilandelayo sicabangela ukuthi amazinga okushisa emini asuka ema-68 ° F / 25 ° C. Noma kunjalo, ubusuku bungathola ukufudumala, ikakhulukazi eDesheni laseKalahari, lapho kusasa ekuseni kushisa.
Uma uhlela uhambo ngesikhathi somile, uzodinga ukupakisha izinqwaba zezendlalelo zokuhamba kwelanga kanye ne- night safaris . Ngasekupheleni kwenkathi, amazinga okushisa aqala ukuphakama ngendlela ephawulekayo, ephazamisa cishe ngo-104 ° F / 40 ° C.
Ezingxenyeni eziningi zeBotswana ezithombeni, inkathi eyomile yisikhathi esihle sokubukwa kwemidlalo.
Kodwa-ke, kuyisikhathi esikhulu kunazo zonke sezwe. NgoJulayi no-Agasti bathandwa kakhulu njengoba behambisana namaholide esikoleni asehlobo elisenyakatho. Amanani asezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu, futhi uzodinga ukubhuka uhambo lwakho kuze kube yisikhathi kusengaphambili ngenkathi yezinsuku. Noma kunjalo, amakamu amancane nezindawo ezikude ezifinyeleleke kuphela nge-charter aircraft kusho ukuthi ngisho nasebusika, i-Botswana ayifuni kakhulu.
I- Okavango Delta ingcono kakhulu phakathi kukaJulayi no-Agasti. Amanzi asezikhukhula awenzile e-delta, eheha izinqwaba zezilwane zasendle ezivela ngaphakathi. Uzobona izimvu ezinkulu zezindlovu, ibhulo kanye ne-antelope; ngaphezu kwezilwane ezidlayo ezondla phezu kwazo. Isikhathi esomile sinomswakama omncane, futhi kukhona izinambuzane ezimbalwa kakhulu. Uma ukhathazekile ngokubamba i-malaria noma ezinye izifo ezithathelwana umiyane, ukuhamba konyaka owomile kukunika ukuthula kwengqondo.
Isikhathi Esihlaza
Iningi lezimvula zaseBotswana livela ngoDisemba kuya kuMashi. Eminye iminyaka ingafika ekuqaleni, ngezinye izikhathi ayifuni neze. Kodwa uma kwenzeka, i-landscape iyashintsha ngokuphelele futhi ibonakala kahle. Izinyoni zifika ezivela kwezinye izindawo zase-Afrika, iYurophu ne-Asia ezinkulungwaneni zazo, futhi izilwane zasendle zezwe zingena esikhathini sokuphila okusha nezinsana zezinambuzane, i-zebra ne-impala yonke indawo ebheka.
Izilwane zilukhuni ukubona phakathi nokukhula okusha okusha - kodwa kwabanye, lokho kuyingxenye yenkinga.
IBotswana iyaqhubeka ukudayiswa phakathi nenkathi eluhlaza kanye nabantu abaningi, lokhu kwenza kube yisikhathi esihle sokuhamba. Nakuba amanye amakamu avaliwe ezinyangeni zemvula, abaningi bahlala bevulekile, besebenzisa amanani okunciphisa ukuheha abavakashi abangaphandle kwesizini. Imigwaqo ekhukhulayo ayiyona inkinga enkulu njengoba ingaba kwamanye amazwe ase-Afrika, ngoba izindawo eziningana zeBotswana zifinyeleleka kuphela ngezindiza. Imvula ayihlali njalo ngalesi sikhathi. Esikhundleni salokho, izinsuku zivame ukushona ngezikhathi ezincane nsuku zonke ntambama.
Ukuhlaselwa kwangempela kwenkathi eluhlaza kubandakanya ukufudumala okushisa okuhlangene nomswakama ophezulu, nokukhukhuka kwezinambuzane - kuhlanganise nezinyosi. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ama-Okavango Delta floodplains ayomile ngalesi sikhathi, amakamu amaningi kangaka akakwazi ukunikeza i-safaris esekelwe ngamanzi.
Kulezi zivakashi eziningi, ukubheka ngomsindo emgodini wesikebhe (noma mokoro) kuyisiqalo esilandelayo sokuya e-Okavango - okuhlangenwe nakho okumele kudingeke kuhlatshelwe izinyanga zehlobo.
Izinyanga Zezinwele
NgoNovemba no-Ephreli ngokuvamile bawela phakathi kwezinkathi ezimbili zonyaka, futhi banikeze izimo ezihlukile ezazo. NgoNovemba, amazinga okushisa ayanda futhi umhlaba uphela - kodwa amanani asevele ewa futhi uma unenhlanhla, ungaba khona ukubuka ushintsho olubangelwa yimvula yokuqala yesizini. U-Ephreli kungaba yisikhathi esimnandi sokuvakashela, ngokubonakala kahle, ukushisa kwamazinga okushisa kanye namathafa asemanzi emvula ngemva kwehlobo lehlobo. Kuyisikhathi esihle sokuthatha isithombe sokuphepha , nakuba izinkomo ezinkulu zasebusika zingakabi khona ukufika eDelta.
