Ipaki yeSizwe yeeNtaba zeMahale

IPAKI

Le paki, njengommelwane wayo osemantla iGombe, likhaya lezinye zeetshimpanzi zasendle ezisele eAfrika, ezimalunga nama-900, zihlaliswe ziindwendwe ezingabantu yiprojekthi yophando yaseJapan eyasekwa ngeminyaka yoo-1960.

Ukulandelela iitshimpi zaseMahale ngamava amangalisayo.

IMahale ikwiNtshona yeTanzania kumazantsi edolophu yaseKigoma, ikufuphi neLake Tanganyika- ichibi lamanzi acocekileyo elide, lesibini elinzulu nelingangcoliswanga kakhulu kwihlabathi-iqulethe iintlobo zeentlanzi eziqikelelwa kwi-1000.

IXESHA ELILUNGILEYO LOKUTYELELA IPAKI

Ixesha elomileyo (ngoMeyi ukuya ku-Okthobha) lelona xesha lilungileyo. Ngeli xesha, iitshimpanzi zinokubonakala ziliqela elikhulu, ilanga likhanyisa iintlanzi eLake kwaye ulwandle luyindawo ekhangayo yokuphumla. Nangona kunjalo, iMahale Mountains National Park iyafikeleleka unyaka wonke. Ukutyelela ngexesha lemvula nako kungaba ngamava akhumbulekayo, aphawuleka ngokubona ilizwe elikufutshane iDR Congo ngaphesheya kwamanzi kunye neziphepho ezinkulu ezikhanyisa ichibi ebusuku.

UKUFIKELELA KWIPAKI

IMahale ifikeleleka ngenqwelo moya, ngendlela nangesikhephe. Kukho iindlela ezahlukeneyo zokuhamba ngenqwelo moya, imoto kunye nesikhephe ezilungele uninzi lwabahambi kunye nabathandi beetshimp:

Iinqwelomoya eziya ngqo eMahale

Le yeyona ndlela ilula yokufikelela eMahale. Ngexesha lexesha labakhenkethi abaphezulu (ngoJuni ukuya ku-Okthobha) abaqhubi abathathu beenkampu eMahale bacwangcisa uhambo oluqhelekileyo phakathi kwepaki nedolophu yase-Arusha. Phakathi kuka-Okthobha noMatshi iinqwelomoya ziyafika kwaye zihambe kabini ngeveki. Phakathi kukaMatshi, u-Epreli kunye nesiqingatha sokuqala sikaMeyi iinkampu ziyavalwa ngoko ke akukho zindiza zicwangcisiweyo.

Nangona kunjalo, kunokwenzeka ukuba iindwendwe zilungiselele iinqwelomoya zazo eziqeshisayo. ITanzania ineenkampani ezininzi zeenqwelo moya eziqeshisayo ezifana ne-Air Excel, iNorthern Air kunye neRegional Air ukukhankanya ezimbalwa. Iinqwelomoya zabucala zingalungiselelwa kwizixeko ezikhulu zaseArusha, eKilimanjaro, eDar es Salaam, eMwanza okanye eZanzibar.

Isikhululo seenqwelo-moya eMahale silungele iinqwelo-moya ezilula kuphela ezinokuthwala abantu abali-12.

Uhambo oluya eMahale ngeKigoma

IKigoma inokufikelelwa ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo:

NgomoyaI-Air Tanzania icwangcisa uhambo lwemihla ngemihla ukusuka eDar es Salaam ukuya eKigoma. Uhambo lwendiza luthatha malunga neeyure ezi-3.

NgeNdlelaIndlela inika ukufikelela eKigoma, kodwa inokuba nzima kwaye ingadluleki, ingakumbi ngexesha lemvula. Ukusuka eArusha kuthatha iintsuku ezimbini okanye ezintathu ukufika eKigoma ngemoto, kufuneka imoto enamavili amane.

Ngololiwe: Oololiwe abasuka eDar es salaam bahamba kabini ukuya kathathu ngeveki. Uhambo luthatha malunga neentsuku ezintathu nobusuku obubini.

Ukusuka eKigoma: IMahale inokufikelelwa ngesikhephe, ngenqwelomoya encinci okanye ngemoto.

Uthutho oluya eMahale ngezikhephe ezikhawulezayo okanye izikhephe zemithi ukusuka eKigoma lunokulungiselelwa yiPaki okanye abaqhubi babucala eKigoma. Izikhephe ezikhawulezayo zithatha phakathi kweeyure ezi-4 ukuya kwezi-5 ukufika epakini ngelixa izikhephe zemithi zinokuthatha ukuya kuthi ga kwiiyure ezili-15 nangaphezulu.

Inqanawa enkulu ethwala umphunga – iMV Liemba – isuka eKigoma kabini ngenyanga [ngoLwesithathu emva kwemini], ithwele abakhweli kunye nemithwalo ubude beLake ukuya eZambia. Imisa izihlandlo ezininzi endleleni, kuquka nenye eya eMahale, ebizwa ngokuba yi Lagosa (igama elidala) okanye elaziwa kakhulu ngokuba UMgambo. I-MV Liemba ithatha malunga neeyure ezili-10 ukufika eLagosa-Mgambo ukusuka eKigoma, kwaye idlula eMahale kwakhona xa ibuya [nokuba ngeCawa okanye ngoMvulo kusasa].

Ukusuka eLagosa-Mgambo umntu angalungiselela iinqanawa zepaki ukuze zithathwe.

IMahale ikwimizuzu engama-45 ukusuka eKigoma ngenqwelomoya elula. Iinkampani ezimbalwa zesafari zibonelela ngeenqwelomoya zabucala eziqeshisayo ukusuka eKigoma ukuya eMahale nakwezinye iiPaki zeSizwe entshona yeTanzania.

indlelaNokuba uqhuba iiyure ezi-2 usiya emazantsi eKigoma udlula kwiSimbo Village (160km) unqumla umlambo iMalagarasi usiya kwilali yaseHerombe (kunokugqithwa ngexesha lemvula) okanye uqhube i-122km ukuya kwiSigunga Village emva kokuba uvumelene nePark HQ ukuze udlulisele isikhephe ePark. Uhambo oluphezulu luthatha iyure e-1 okanye ezi-2 ngohambo ngesikhephe ngokulandelelana.

IMITHETHO YEPAKI

IMahale Mountains National Park likhaya lenye yezona zilwanyana zifunwe kakhulu eAfrika. Inkxaso enikwa ziindwendwe ngokuhlawula imali yokungena epakini inika iPaki indlela yokukhusela nokukhusela olu didi lukhethekileyo lwee-chimpanzee kunye nehlathi elihle ezihlala kulo.

Imithetho yePaki kunye nemimiselo

Hlala kwiindlela ezigunyazisiweyo.
Musa ukuphazamisa izilwanyana zasendle nangayiphi na indlela. Musa ukwenza ingxolo.
Yiba nolwazelelelo kwabanye abatyeleli – ungabaphazamisi bona okanye izilwanyana abazijongileyo.
Musa ukuthatha naziphi na izilwanyana zasekhaya okanye imipu uye epakini.
Musa ukuncothula, ukukha, ukunqumla okanye ukonakalisa nasiphi na isityalo okanye ube nayo nayiphi na inxalenye yesityalo esihlala epakini.
Musa ukubasa umlilo okanye ulahle nantoni na etshayo.
Musa ukulahla nayiphi na inkunkuma.
Phakathi kwentsimbi yesi-7:00 ukuya kweyesi-6:00 kusasa, hlala kufutshane neendawo zokuhlala ezimiselweyo (iinkampu zeentente, iibhandi zabakhenkethi, izindlu zokuphumla okanye iindawo zokukhempisha).
Imvume iyasebenza xa ungena kanye kwiiyure ezingama-24 kuphela.

IMIGAQO YOKUBUKA KWEENTSHIMP

Hlala umgama we-10m ubuncinane ukusuka kwiitshimpi ngamaxesha onke. Oku kunciphisa umngcipheko wokosulela iintsholongwane kunye neentsholongwane kuzo.
Soloko unxibe imaski (enikwe yisikhokelo sakho) phezu kwempumlo yakho nomlomo xa ukufutshane (<50m) neetshimpi.
MUSA ukutya okanye ukusela xa ukufutshane neetshimpi – hamba ubuncinci umgama we-250m.
SUKUZISHIYA izinto zakho emhlabeni okanye apho zifikeleleka khona kwiitshimp. Zizilwanyana ezinomdla kwaye izinto zakho zinokusasaza izifo. Ukuba ufuna uncedo lokuphatha iibhegi, isikhokelo sakho siya kukuvuyela ukukunceda.
SUKUSHIYA nayiphi na inkunkuma ngasemva. Inokuba yingozi kuzo zonke iintlobo zezilwanyana zasendle kwaye inokudlulisela izifo kwiitshimpi.
Ukuba uziva unqwenela ukukhohlela okanye ukuthimla xa ukufutshane neetshimpi, nceda uvale impumlo yakho nomlomo wakho ukuze unciphise ukusasazeka kweentsholongwane.
Zama ukungayi kwindlu yangasese ehlathini. Ukuba akunakwenzeka, suka ubuncinane kwi-250m ukusuka kwiitshimpi uze ucele isikhokelo sakho ukuba simbe umngxuma onzulu.
Akuvumelekanga ukutyelela iitshimpi ukuba uyagula okanye unesifo esosulelayo. Nceda ube noxanduva kwaye uxelele abaphathi bekampu yakho ukuba awuziva kakuhle. Ubeka impilo yeetshimpi esichengeni ngokuzityelela ngelixa ugula. Umphathi uya kugqiba ngendlela efanelekileyo.
Akukho mntu ungaphantsi kweminyaka eli-12 ubudala ovumelekileyo ukutyelela iitshimpi. Oku kungenxa yokhuseleko lwabo kwaye kuba abantu abaselula banamathuba amaninzi okudlulisela izifo ezosulelayo.
Akuvumelekanga ukuba kubekho iindwendwe ezingaphezu kwe-6 (kunye nomkhokheli omnye) kufutshane neetshimp nangaliphi na ixesha. Ukuba elinye iqela likunye neetshimp xa ufika, nceda ulinde kwindawo ekhethwe ngumkhokheli wakho, ubuncinane i-250m ukusuka kwizilwanyana.
Ixesha eliphezulu lokubukela yiyure enye. Ukuba iitshimpi ziyahamba kwaye ukubukela kuyaphazamiseka, ixesha lakho liya kumiswa de zifuduselwe kwenye indawo, kodwa ukulandelela akuvumelekanga ixesha elingaphezu kweeyure ezi-3 emva kokubona iitshimpi okokuqala, nokuba iyure enye ayifikelelwanga. Oku kwenzelwa ukunciphisa ukuphazamiseka kwizilwanyana nasehlathini.

IMITHETHO YOKHUSELEKO JIKELELE
Iitshimpanzi zikaMahale ziye zafundwa kwaye zahlalwa ngabantu kangangeminyaka engaphezu kwama-40 kwaye ziqhelene nabantu. Nangona kunjalo, zizilwanyana zasendle kwaye kubalulekile ukuba uphephe ukwenza nantoni na enokuzichasa okanye ezizibona njengomngeni okanye njengosongelo.

Xa ukufutshane neetshimpi, nceda ukhumbule ukugcina amazwi akho ephantsi. Oku kuya kukunceda ukuba ubukele ezinye izilwanyana zasendle ezintle nezahlukeneyo zehlathi laseMahale.
Musa ukukhomba iitshimpi okanye wenze naluphi na ushukumo ngequbuliso.
Kuphephe ukubajonga emehlweni ngqo kuba banokukubona oku njengokuziphatha okunobundlobongela okanye okusongelayo.
Musa ukusebenzisa iziqholo, ukutshaya okanye ukutshica.
Xa ukufutshane neeChimps: Hlalani niliqela elixineneyo, zama ukuhlala okanye ukuquleka endaweni yokuma, kuba oku kunciphisa ukuphazamiseka. Kwakhona qiniseka ukuba iqela lakho alizirhangqi ngokupheleleyo iitshimpi.
Ukuba itshimpi ikuhlasela, yiya kumthi okufutshane, yima ubambelele ngokuqinileyo esiqwini. Ngaphezu kwako konke, ungoyiki okanye ubaleke, landela imiyalelo yesikhokelo sakho.
Ukuba iitshimpanzi zisondela kuwe kunomgama ovumelekileyo (iimitha ezili-10), musa ukwenza naluphi na unyawo olukhawulezileyo ukwandisa umgama. Buyela umva kancinci kude nazo.
Iikhamera kufuneka zicinywe. Iifoto zeflash zinokuphazamisa kwaye zichase iitshimpi.
