Ipaki kazwelonke eliseduze kakhulu nedolobha lase-Arusha - inhloko-dolobha ye-safari enyakatho yeTanzania - i-Arusha National Park iyigugu elinezici eziningi, elivame ukunganakwa ngabahambi be-safari, naphezu kokunikeza ithuba lokuhlola ukuhlukahluka okukhangayo kwezindawo zokuhlala emahoreni ambalwa.
Isango lokungena liholela ehlathini lezintaba elinethunzi elihlalwa yizinkawu eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ezikhangayo kanye nama-turaco nama-trogon anemibala - okuwukuphela kwendawo esenyakatho ye-safari lapho inkawu ye-colobus emnyama nemhlophe ibonakala kalula khona. Phakathi kwehlathi kumi iNgurdoto Crater emangalisayo, enamadwala amakhulu, amboze phansi okubanzi okugcwele imihlambi yezinyathi nezingulube.
Ngasenyakatho, amagquma anotshani agudlayo ahlanganisa ubuhle obuzolile bamachibi aseMomela, ngalinye linombala ohlukile oluhlaza noma oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Amagquma awo angajulile ngezinye izikhathi anombala opinki onezinkulungwane zama-flamingo, amachibi asekela ukukhethwa okucebile kwezinyoni zamanzi ezihlala kanye nezifudukayo, kanti ama-waterbuck aqinile abonisa izimpondo zawo ezinkulu ezimise okwe-lyre emaphethelweni amanzi. Izindlulamithi zihambahamba emagqumeni anotshani, phakathi kwemihlambi yama-zebra adla iwundlu, kuyilapho ama-dik-dik amabili anamehlo amakhulu eqhuma ehlathini elinotshani njengonogwaja abakhule kakhulu emilenzeni emincane.
Nakuba izindlovu zingavamile e-Arusha National Park, futhi amabhubesi engekho nhlobo, izingwe nezimpisi ezinamabala zingabonakala zihambahamba ekuseni kakhulu nantambama kakhulu. Kusebusuku futhi kusempondozankomo lapho isihenqo samafu esisempumalanga cishe sizocaca khona, sembule iziqongo ezinhle zaseKilimanjaro ezimbozwe yiqhwa, eziqhele ngamakhilomitha angu-50 kuphela (amamayela angu-30).
Kodwa ngumzala kaKilimanjaro othobekile, iNtaba iMeru – engeyesihlanu ephakeme kunazo zonke e-Afrika ngamamitha angu-4,566 (amamitha angu-14,990) – ebusa umkhathi wepaki. Iziqongo zayo kanye nemithambeka yezinyawo zasempumalanga evikelwe ngaphakathi kwepaki kazwelonke, iMeru inikeza imibono engenakuqhathaniswa yomakhelwane wayo odumile, kuyilapho futhi yakha indawo enhle yokuhamba ngezinyawo ngokwayo.
Idlula kuqala emahlathini agcwele izihlahla lapho izinyathi nezindlulamithi zivame ukuhlangana khona, ukunyuka kweMeru kuholela emahlathini avutha ama-poker abomvu futhi kuconsa i-Spanish moss, ngaphambi kokufika endaweni evulekile ende eneziqongo ezinkulu ze-lobelia. Izimbali ezihlala njalo zinamathele ogwadule lwasezintabeni, njengoba ama-klipspring anezinselo ezinhle ephawula inqubekela phambili yohambo. Ehamba esiqongweni esinamadwala, iKilimanjaro imi ingabonakali, ikhanya ekuphumeni kwelanga.
