Nā nīnau i nīnau pinepine ʻia ma Safari

Pono kahi palapala holo moku i hoʻopuka ʻia e kou ʻāina kamaʻāina i kūpono no ka liʻiliʻi o ʻeono mahina ma mua o kou lā hōʻea no ke komo ʻana i Tanzania. Pono nō hoʻi ʻoe i kahi palapala hōʻoia no ka pale ʻana i ke kuni melemele a ʻo ka hapa nui o nā malihini mai ʻEulopa a me ʻAmelika e koi i kahi visa.

Ma Tanzania, koi ka hapa nui o nā lāhui ʻē i nā visa inā paha e kipa ana no kahi hoʻomaha a i ʻole e hana i ka ʻoihana ma Tanzania a me Zanzibar. Hiki ke loaʻa nā visa ma ke komo ʻana ma ke kahua mokulele honua ʻo Kilimanjaro, ke kahua mokulele honua ʻo Dar es Salaam a ma ke keʻa palena ʻo Namanga mai Kenya mai. No ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi sila visa ma kāu passport ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana, e kelepona i ka ʻEmepaea Tanzania kokoke loa a i ʻole ke Komisina Kiʻekiʻe ma kou ʻāina hānau.

No nā safaris ma ke kaapuni ʻākau, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hōʻea ʻana i ke kahua mokulele honua ʻo Kilimanjaro (JRO) aia ma waena o nā kūlanakauhale ʻo Moshi lāua ʻo Arusha. I kēia manawa, lawelawe ʻia kēia kahua mokulele i kēlā me kēia lā mai ʻEulopa mai e KLM a i kekahi mau manawa i ka pule e Ethiopian Airlines. Hoʻokele pū ʻo KLM ma o Nairobi (NBO), Kenya ma ka hui pū ʻana me Precision Air. Lele nā ​​​​mokulele ʻē aʻe e like me British, Emirates a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i Dar es Salaam (DAR). ʻO ka hōʻea ʻana ma o Dar e koi paha i kahi noho pō a pono ke kumukūʻai hou o ka hoʻopili ʻana me kahi mokulele kūloko ma kahi mokulele ʻāpana liʻiliʻi me nā kapu ukana.

Hiki ke hōʻea ma uka mai Nairobi ma kekahi o nā kaʻa hoʻokele mākaʻikaʻi i hoʻonohonoho ʻia i kēlā me kēia lā a ʻōlelo ʻia no nā mea huakaʻi akamai wale nō. Pono ʻoe e hana i kāu mau hoʻopaʻa mokulele honua ponoʻī, no ka mea, ʻaʻole ia he ʻāpana o kā mākou lawelawe. Hiki iā mākou ke kōkua iā ʻoe me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i kahi hoʻoili alanui inā hoʻoholo ʻoe e lawe i kēlā ala.

Ke hoʻopaʻa ʻoe i kahi safari me Tanzania Parks Adventure, e kiʻi mākou iā ʻoe i kou wahi e hōʻea ai ma Arusha, ma ka ʻākau o Tanzania. I ka hapa nui o nā hihia, ʻo ke alakaʻi e noho pū me ʻoe i kāu safari e hālāwai me ʻoe i kou hōʻea ʻana akā i kekahi manawa e hālāwai paha ʻoe me kekahi ʻelele mai Tanzania Parks Adventure.

ʻAʻohe hoʻoilo a kauwela paha ma ʻaneʻi no ka mea aia mākou ma kahi kokoke loa i ka equator. Eia nō naʻe, he mau kau ua ko mākou e paʻakikī ai ke hele a puni. Hiki mai nā ua lōʻihi mai ka hopena o Malaki - Mei a me nā ua pōkole i Nowemapa - hoʻomaka o Dekemaba. ʻO nā mahina wela loa ʻo ka hopena o Dekemaba - Malaki, a laila Kepakemapa - ʻOkakopa. Akā, ua hoʻokipa mau ʻia ʻoe!

He hoʻomaha maʻamau ʻole ka Safari ma ʻApelika Hikina. He mea nui e hoʻopaʻa māmā a akamai hoʻi. ʻOiai ʻoe e hoʻolilo nei i ka hapa nui o ka manawa o ka safari e nānā ana i nā holoholona hihiu mai kahi kaʻa, ua ʻōlelo ʻia e komo i nā lole maʻamau a palupalu. Pono ke kau anuanu (Iune, Iulai a me ʻAukake) i kekahi mau lole mehana no ka mea hiki i nā mahana ke hāʻule i nā 40's.

Pono ʻoe e lawe mai i hoʻokahi lole maikaʻi no kahi ʻaina ahiahi kūikawā i waho, akā naʻe no ka hapa nui, ua maikaʻi nā wahi me nā lole maʻamau a me nā lole safari kuʻuna. He mea kūpono ke komo ʻana i nā papa ʻaina, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻololi me nā mahana e loli nei. Hiki ke anuanu loa i ke kakahiaka, akā naʻe hiki i ke awakea ke mehana loa. He mea nui ka pāpale ākea a me ka pale lā.

Hoʻowalewale nā ​​kala ʻeleʻele i ka nānā pono ʻole ʻia mai kekahi mau pepeke. E pale i ka uliuli ʻeleʻele a me nā kala ʻeleʻele ma ke ʻano laulā. Hoʻowalewale ʻia ka lele tsetse (hana wale i ke ao) i nā kala ʻeleʻele no laila pono e pale ʻia kēia mau mea i ka wā e hoʻokele holoholona hihiu ana i nā wahi tsetse e like me nā ululāʻau o West Serengeti, Tarangire a me kekahi mau ʻāpana o North Serengeti. ʻAʻohe lele tsetse i nā pāpū o ka Hema a me East Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater a me nā wahi Hema o Central Serengeti. Paipai mākou e ʻaʻahu i nā lole lōʻihi a me nā pālule i ka wā e hoʻokele holoholona hihiu ana i kahi wahi i ʻike ʻia no ka nui o nā lele tsetse. Pono e ʻaʻahu ʻia nā kala māmā a kūlohelohe e like me ka khaki, brown, beige, olive a me ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo i ke ao. I ka pō, ʻaʻohe mea nui ke kala o kou lole. Mai ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā a hiki i ka wanaʻao, ua ʻōlelo ʻia e pale ʻoe iā ʻoe iho mai nā makika ma ke komo ʻana i nā lole, nā pālule lima lōʻihi, nā socks a me nā kāmaʻa a me ka mea pale pepeke.

He mau kāmaʻa hele wāwae ʻoluʻolu, He mau sandal a i ʻole flip-flops, Kekahi mau lole maʻamau ʻoluʻolu, a me nā lole ākea i ke kala khaki, brown, beige, ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me ka ʻoliva i hana ʻia me nā lole kūlohelohe e like me ka pulupulu, Nā pālule T, Nā pālule lima lōʻihi, kekahi mau pālua o nā pōkole, nā pālule lōʻihi ʻoluʻolu e māmā ana, He lole komo mahana a shawl paha, He lole ʻauʻau, Nā kāmaʻa a me nā lole komo (pulupulu), He pāpale ākea a me kahi bandana, ʻAʻahu māmā a pale makani paha. Inā e kipa aku ana i ke kau anuanu (Iune - ʻAukake) e lawe mai i kekahi mau lole mehana a me nā lole waho.

He mea pono loa ia e hele māmā ʻoe e like me ka hiki. ʻOiai ʻae kekahi mau mokulele honua a hiki i 50 paona (100 lbs) o nā ukana, ʻo nā mokulele kūloko āu e lawe ai i loko o ka ʻāina e kaupalena iā ʻoe i 15 paona (33 lbs) a ʻoi aku ka kakaʻikahi he 20 paona (44 lbs) ka huina - me ka lawe ʻia ʻana - me nā uku kiʻekiʻe loa no nā ukana keu a me ka hiki ke waiho ʻia nā hihia kaumaha. He palena loa hoʻi ka lumi i loko o nā kaʻa safari no laila ke paipai nui nei mākou e mālama ʻoe i kāu ukana i hoʻokahi ʻeke duffle palupalu waena/nui (ma kahi o 13″H x 30″W x 15″D) me kāu lawe ʻia ʻana (hana maikaʻi ka ʻeke hope) no kāu mau binoculars, nā lako kāmela, a pēlā aku. ʻAʻole e kūpono nā ʻeke paʻakikī i loko o nā kaʻa safari a pono paha e waiho iā lākou ma ka hōkele kūlanakauhale ʻoiai ʻoe ma waho i ka nahele.

ʻŌlelo nui ʻia ka ʻōlelo Pelekania ma Tanzania a ma nā wahi āpau i loaʻa ai nā mākaʻikaʻi. E ʻōlelo maikaʻi loa kāu alakaʻi safari i ka ʻōlelo Pelekania. E ʻoluʻolu e hoʻomaopopo iā mākou inā makemake ʻoe i alakaʻi e ʻōlelo ana i kahi ʻōlelo ʻē aʻe. ʻO Swahili ka ʻōlelo aupuni ʻē aʻe o Tanzania; ʻōlelo ka hapa nui o ka poʻe iā Swahili a mahalo nui i ka wā e hoʻāʻo ai nā malihini e aʻo i kekahi mau huaʻōlelo. I ka wā e hoʻāʻo nei e kamaʻilio me nā kānaka, e hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ka ʻōlelo Pelekania ka ʻōlelo ʻekolu a ka poʻe e aʻo ai a hoʻāʻo e ʻōlelo mālie i mea e maopopo ai. No ka hapa nui, makemake nā Tanzanians e kamaʻilio me nā malihini haole.

ʻAe, ʻae ʻia nā kāleka hōʻaiʻē ma kekahi mau wahi e like me nā hale hoʻokipa, nā hōkele a me nā hale kūʻai nui. He manaʻo maikaʻi paha e kaupalena i ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēia mau wahi i mea e palekana ai a ʻaʻole e hoʻohana wale i nā kāleka. I kekahi manawa e hoʻohui nā mea kūʻai aku i kahi "uku" a i ʻole ka pakeneka no ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi kāleka hōʻaiʻē e uhi i ke komisina i uku ʻia e nā panakō. ʻOiai ʻaʻole paha e ʻae ʻia kēia ma ʻEulopa a i ʻAmelika paha, he hana maʻamau ia ma ʻaneʻi.

ʻO ke kālā o Tanzania ka shilling Tanzanian (TSH a i ʻole /=). (No ka ʻike ʻana i ka uku hoʻololi o kēia manawa, e kipa iā www.xe.com). ʻO ke kālā US ke ʻano kālā i ʻae nui ʻia ma Tanzania a hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ma ka hapa nui o nā wahi a i kekahi manawa ʻo ia ke ʻano uku makemake ʻia. Aia paha kekahi mau manawa e pono ai ke kālā ma nā shillings Tanzania no laila he manaʻo maikaʻi e hoʻololi i kekahi kālā haole a i ʻole e unuhi mai kahi ATM. No ka laʻana ma nā pahu tip hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i nā kālā denomination liʻiliʻi a i ʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i nā T-shillings. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o nā kumukūʻai hoʻololi no nā bila o nā denomination kiʻekiʻe ($50 $100) a he mea KOʻIKOʻI e hoʻomanaʻo ai ʻo ke kālā hou wale nō e ʻae ʻia. E lawe mai i nā bila i paʻi ʻia i ka makahiki 2003 a ma hope paha, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka mea hou. (He mea pale kēia i nā mea hoʻopunipuni.)
