Sikhuluma ngezomnotho, ezokuvakasha, nomthelela wendawo we-safaris
Umhleli Wezokuvakasha Osimeme Olivia Balsinger usanda kunelungelo lokuchitha isikhathi e-Karongwe River Lodge eNingizimu Afrika. I-Lodge iyiyingxenye yePortfolio yaseKarongwe, nezinye izakhiwo zayo ezine- Kuname River Lodge, I-Manor House, I-Chisomo Safari Camp kanye ne-Shiduli Private Game Lodge. Konke kutholakale e-Karongwe Private Game Reserve, cishe ngemitha engama-45 ukusuka eKruger National Park, ekhaya "ezinhlanu ezinkulu" - izingonyama, izingwe, izinyosi, amahhhhhh, nezindlovu.
I-Karongwe River Lodge, njengezo zonke izakhiwo zePortfolio, iyaziwa ngokuhlelwa kwayo kokungena emfuleni, i-Pan African cuisine, kanye ne-safaris eshintsha impilo. Izivakashi ziphumula egumbini le-Lodge ngaphansi kwezinkanyezi ezikhanyisa isibhakabhaka futhi zithande ukhetho olunzulu lwezinyosi eziphezulu zaseNingizimu Afrika newayini. Noma uphumule ngasemanzini bese uzwa izikhwebu zokugaya izinyane lezinyosi nje ngezinyawo. Lokhu okunethezeka okunamandla okwenziwe emvelweni yilokho akuhlangene nakho ngesikhathi sokuhlala kwakhe. Kodwa wayedinga ukwazi okuningi. Wakhetha ukuxoxa noKeenan Houareau, iNhloko Ranger e-Karongwe Private Game Reserve.
I-OB: Kungani iNingizimu Afrika ihamba njengezwe eliya endaweni ephephile?
KH: Ngicabanga ukuthi isizathu esisodwa sokuthi abantu kufanele bafike eNingizimu Afrika ngokulungiswa kwabo kwezokuphepha yizinga lezobuchwepheshe kanye nobuchwepheshe bethu iziqondiso zethu. Ama-rangers kumele adlule ngezibalo eziningi zokuqeqesha kanye nokuhlolwa kwemfundiso ngaphambi kokuthinta imoto.
Ulwazi lwethu kanye nothando lwezihlahla zemvelo kanye nokuhlukahluka kwezinhlobo zezilwane zasendle nezilwane zasendle eNingizimu Afrika kwenza yonke umdlalo ube nakho okuyingqayizivele.
I-OB: Kuthiwani ngabantu ababiza i-safaris benza okubi ngaphezu kokuhle emvelweni?
IKH: Abavakashi kumele bangeke bazizwe bebeka engozini noma yiziphi izindawo zokuhlala zemvelo noma ezisongela izilwane nge-safari.
Zonke izingozi noma iziqondiso ziqeqeshwe kahle ngendlela yokuvimbela izimo ezithile futhi uqiniseke ukuthi zihlala ziba ngumhlahlandlela oziphatha kahle kakhulu. Ama-Rangers abathanda isihlahla kakhulu ukuze asivumele ukubhujiswa, futhi bazokwenza konke abakwaziyo ukuwuvikela. Ukuphila kwethu.
I-OB: Ngakho-ke sizwa ukuthi uyisiqondiso, njalo ubona i-Big Five nokuningi. Iyini isilwane sakho ozithandayo ongayibona?
KH: Isilwane sami esiyintandokazi esingayibona siyohlale ingwe, okungaziwa ngokuthi "umoya wehlathi." I-Leopards iyisidalwa esingenakuqhathaniswa futhi ngokuqinisekile kunzima kakhulu ukuthola i-The Big Five. Lokhu kwenza kube okujabulisayo ukuthola kubo ... Ngisazizwa nginjengomnyaka oneminyaka emihlanu ekuseni ngoKhisimusi njalo lapho ngifika ukubona elinye lala makakati amahle kakhulu!
I-OB: Ukuthuthela engxoxweni engaphezulu yezomnotho kancane. Umnotho wendawo uzuze kanjani ekuhambeni kwe-tourism safaris?
KH: Ukuvakasha yiyona eyinhloko enkulu emnothweni wethu wendawo. Ngokuvakasha okubonakalayo kubhekene nomunye wemisebenzi eyishumi nambili eNingizimu Afrika. Umphakathi wendawo ozungezile indawo yethu yokugcina incike ezindlini zethu. Sisebenzela inamba enkulu yabasebenzi emphakathini wendawo futhi le misebenzi ibalulekile emadolobheni. Indawo esiphila kuyo iqhutshwa cishe kuphela ezokuvakasha.
Ngaphandle kwezokuvakasha ezaza ukubona izilwane zethu zasendle nezindawo zokulala, khona-ke bekuyoba nesilinganiso esikhulu sokungasebenzi emsebenzini endaweni yethu. Ngakho ukuvakasha ngingasho ukuthi kugcina umnotho wethu uhambe futhi sivumele abantu bethu nezindawo zokuhlala ziphile.
OB: Sinqume ukuthi sifuna ukuhamba safari. Manje sikhetha kanjani ukuthi sibheke?
KH: Izivakashi akufanele zibuke ngaphezu kwegama uma zibhuka i-safari. Into enkulu kakhulu ikhwalithi ye-drive drive. Bheka Facebook, Instagram and Trip Advisor. Zonke izindawo zokulala manje zisebenzisa ama-social media ukuze zibuke izibukeli zisesikhathini ngokubona kwosuku. Futhi ngingasho nakanjani ukuthi izivakashi kufanele zibuke ukuthi izindwendwe zihlala kanjani nokuthi zivikela kanjani izilwane zasendle. Abavakashi kufanele bahlanganyele nalezi zinhlelo njengoba sidinga usizo oluningi ngangokunokwenzeka.
OB: Sizwile ukuthi kukhona umehluko phakathi kwe-safaris yangasese neyomphakathi. Siphe isikhumulo sangaphakathi-okungcono?
KH: Ngincoma ukuphepha kwangasese esikhundleni somphakathi. I-safari yangasese ikunika ukuthinta okungathintana nokuthinta. Ikunika ithuba lokukwazi ithimba lakho elilinganayo futhi likunika ithuba lokusondelana nezilwane ongeke ukwazi ukuzenza kwenye i-safaris yomphakathi. Njengephothifoliyo yangasese, silwela ukunikeza izivakashi ithuba lomuntu siqu. Uzoba yingxenye yomndeni wethu uma usuka.
I-OB: Kunezinhlobo ezithile ezinobungozi obuhle ne-safaris. Chaza ukuzingela nokuqina kwalo.
KH: Ukugqugquzela kuyinkinga enkulu eNingizimu Afrika kuphela, kodwa e-Afrika yonke. Ukuzingela kuzokufika ngezigameko ezincane ezinjenge-poaching for "inyama yamahlathi" bese kubhekene nezinkinga ezinkulu kakhulu ezinjenge-rhino kanye ne-poaching poaching. Ukugqugquzela inyama yezinkomo lapho abantu bezingela izinhlobo ezincane zokudla ukuze ziphile. Lokhu ukukhathazeka okukhulu kunoma yimuphi umnikazi womhlaba njengoba kulahlekelwa yinzuzo. Inkinga enkulu esibhekene nayo yinkinga ye-poaching poaching. Ama-Rhin abulawa futhi izimpondo zabo zisusiwe. Esikhathini esiningi lokhu akukwenziwanga ngokwezifiso futhi kuningi lokubulawa kwabantu kunokuzingela. Ngezinye izikhathi amahhhishi asele ahambahamba ahamba nawo ubuso bawo bukhuni. Lokhu kuhlaselwa kwenzelwe ukuzuza ngokwezimali njengoba uphondo lwebhejane lubiza ngaphezu kwegolide ne-cocaine kumakethe amnyama yanamuhla. Iqiniso liwukuthi, zonke "ukuphulukiswa" kanye "namandla" umuntu angathola kusuka ku-rhino uphondo kuyi-fallacies. Uphondo lwe-Rhino lwakhiwa into efanayo nezipikili zeminwe. Ngeshwa sisezimpi ezizama ukuvikela lezi zidalwa ezinhle. Ngithemba ukuthi singakuyeka ngaphambi kokuba sekwephuzile. Ngingathanda izingane zami ukuba zibone izibungu endle kodwa kuyisithembiso engikwazi ukusigcina okwamanje.
Ngombono wami indlela kuphela yokuyeka isimo esibuhlungu ubuhlungu imfundo. Kumele kube nokuqwashisa okwengeziwe ngokuvikelwa kwezilwane emhlabeni wonke.
I-OB: Lokhu kuye kwaba ulwazi oluhle futhi nakanjani kukhuthaza ukuthatha i-safari. Umbuzo owodwa wokugcina. Umzuzu wakho owuthandayo we-safari. Hamba.
KH: Umzuzwana wami owuthandayo emotweni yemidlalo kufanele ube usuku engangibona ibhubesi lendoda liwela ehlathini bese libamba i-pangolin. Kuyinto engavamile ukubona "ukubulala" kwenzeka ngaphambi kwakho kodwa ukubona ukuthi kwenzeke esilwaneni esinqunyiwe ehlathini kwakungenye into.
