Izihlahla zesundu ziyanyakaziswa emoyeni opholile wolwandle. Isihlabathi esimhlophe namanzi aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kuyakhazimula ngaphansi kwelanga elishisayo. Ama-dhow endabuko adlula kancane, eqhutshwa ngamaseyili amhlophe agelezayo, kuyilapho abadobi baseSwahili bephonsa amanetha abo ngaphansi kokuphuma kwelanga okubomvu okukhazimulayo.
ISaadani yilapho ibhishi lihlangana khona nehlathi. Indawo yokugcina izilwane zasendle eMpumalanga Afrika eqhosha ngogu lolwandle i-Indian Ocean, inazo zonke izici ezenza ugu lolwandle olushisayo lwaseTanzania kanye neziqhingi zithandeke kakhulu kubantu baseYurophu abakhulekela ilanga. Kodwa futhi yindawo eyodwa lapho lawo mahora okuzilibazisa okugeza ilanga angaphazanyiswa khona yindlovu ehambahambayo, noma ibhubesi elizophuza emanzini aseduze!
Njengoba ivikelwe njengendawo yokugcina izilwane kusukela ngawo-1960, iSaadani yafakwa ku-gazet njengepaki kazwelonke ngo-2002, lapho yandiswa ukuze imboze indawo yayo yangaphambili kabili. Le ndawo yokugcina izilwane yahlupheka kakhulu ngenxa yokuzingela ngokungekho emthethweni ngaphambi kweminyaka yawo-1990, kodwa eminyakeni yamuva nje ibone ushintsho olukhulu, ngenxa yokucindezela okuhlangene kwabazingeli abazingeli, okusekelwe ekuhlanganiseni amadolobhana aseduze nomkhankaso wokonga.
Namuhla, kunezinhlobo eziningi ngokumangalisayo zezilwane ezidla utshani kanye nezilwane ezibizwa ngokuthi ama-primate ezindleleni nasezindleleni zokuhamba, phakathi kwazo kukhona indlulamithi, inyathi, i-warthog, i-common waterbuck, i-reedbuck, i-hartebeest, i-wildebeest, i-red duiker, i-greater kudu, i-eland, i-sable antelope, imfene ephuzi kanye nenkawu ye-vervet. Imihlambi yezindlovu ezingafika ku-30 itholakala ngokuvama, kanti kunezinhlobo eziningana zezingonyama ezihlala khona, kuhlanganise nengwe, i-spotted hyena kanye ne-black-backed jackal. Uhambo ngesikebhe eMfuleni i-Wami ogcwele i-mangrove luza nethuba elikhulu lokubona izimvubu, izingwenya kanye nezinyoni eziningi zasolwandle nezasemfuleni, okuhlanganisa i-mangrove kingfisher kanye ne-lesser flamingo, kanti amabhishi akha enye yezindawo zokugcina ezinkulu zokuzalela ufudu oluhlaza ezwenikazi laseTanzania.
