Ukuba ukhe wabona i-cheetah inyathela ixhoba layo, uyazi ukuba nakwesona silwanyana sikhawulezayo ethafeni, ukuzingela ngumsebenzi wokunyamezela nokuthula. Kwaye ukuba wena & apos unethamsanqa elaneleyo lokuba ibe nguwe olanda ikati enkulu ngelixa ukwi-safari, uyazi ukuba ukusukela kufuna ukunyaniseka okufanayo-kude kube kungabikho ndawo yokuhamba-hamba kwento egqobhozwa ngumgqumo wedizili weLand Cruiser yakho evulekileyo.
Ngenisa isafari yombane yesithuthi, into eluhlaza enokuthi ixhase amava e-safari yaseKenya- kwaye incede ukugcina i-ecosystem echukumisayo etsala ezinye izigidi ezibini zabakhenkethi kwilizwe lonke minyaka le.
Iimoto zohlobo lwe-safari zombane zezona zinto zintsha zibonelela kwiinkampu ezincinci zaseKenya, kwaye bayathembisa ukukhusela okusingqongileyo kunye nokwandisa amava ngokuqhuba bethule cwaka. Ukusukela ekuqaleni kowama-2021, inkampani esekwe eNairobi i-Opibus yaguqula izithuthi ezili-10 zeLand Cruiser safari ukusuka kwidizili ukuya kumbane.
'Sisebenzisa [amandla elanga] kwaye siguqula izithuthi, ukuze yonke indalo iyile inkqubo ye-off-grid engazimeleyo kwindawo engqongileyo, utshilo u-Albin Wilson we-Opibus. 'Ukuzinza-kubulumko, kukhulu kakhulu.' Nje ukuba i-Opibus iguqule isafari isithuthi ukusuka kwidizili iye kumbane, izithuthi zihlawuliswa ngesikhululo sephaneli yelanga. Akukho mfuneko yezithuthi zokutshisa ipetroli okanye ukusebenzisa idizili eloriwe eKenya kunye neepos; indalo yolondolozo kwaye igcinwe kwiitanki zangaphantsi komhlaba, apho isoyikisa ukuphuma.

Ukuguqula izithuthi esele zikhona endaweni yokwakha ezitsha zombane ukusuka ekuqaleni, uWilson uthi, kukwayonga iindleko ekuhambeni kwexesha. 'Ungasebenzisa izithuthi zakho zangoku kwaye uziphucule, kwaye wandise ixesha lokuphila kwezithuthi ezikhoyo, utshilo. Akunyanzelekanga ukuba ubeke nantoni na kwindawo zokulahla inkunkuma, nto leyo eyenza ukuba kube nengqondo kunye nokuzinza.
Kukwakho nje apos; indlela engcono yokuhamba .
Ukuqhubeka nomxholo wekati yethu, ukuba isithuthi esiqhelekileyo sokugquma kwesithuthi kunye nemidlalo yezemidlalo yase-Italiya, emva koko kuhamba imoto yombane ehamba ngombane. Njengoko ii-4x4 ziqengqeleka ngaphaya kweMaasai Mara kunye neapos evulekileyo, yonke into oyivayo yi unqwenela-swish yengca ngokuchasene nesithuthi kunye necala le-apos; ngexa utyibilika uthe cwaka ukuya kwingwenkala ikrazula kwisidumbu se-antelope. Imoto ithe cwaka kangangokuba ikati ayikhe ibenalo.
'Ipholile kakhulu, isondela kumdlalo, kungekho ngxolo, akukho nto ikhutshiweyo - iyamangalisa, utshilo uWilliam Partois Ole Santian, umphathi kunye nomnini we-Emboo River Camp eMaasai Mara, ekuphela kweMara inkampu ye-safari esele ihambile-yombane kunye neenqanawa zayo. 'Yiyo kanye le nto uMara ayifunayo ngoku: Abantu abathanda izinto eziphilayo nabanovakalelo kwimikhondo yabo endle.'
Uhambo lwe-Emboo River Ityala: UBrian Siambi
UPartois Ole Santian, owazalelwa wakhulela eMara, wakhula ebukele ukhenketho kwangoko enweba indlela yokuphila kwezoqoqosho kwaye esoyikisa nentshabalalo yexesha elide kuwo kanye umhlaba kunye nezilwanyana uninzi lwabantu basemzini oluthontelana ukuzibona. 'Zininzi iinkampu ngoku kunangaphambili, utshilo. 'Zininzi iinguqulelo, ukusetyenziswa komhlaba ngakumbi, nezinto ezenziwa ngabantu eMara.'
Waqala njengonogada wasebusuku ehambisa abakhenkethi kwiintente zabo emva kokutshona kwelanga, elandela isibane sakhe ebumnyameni ngemvubu engamkelekanga okanye enye ingozi enokubakho. Uye wanyuka waya kwigumbi elongameleyo, kamva wasebenza ekhitshini, kwaye emva kokuhamba kwisikolo esikhokela i-safari, waba ngumbonisi emva koko waba sisikhokelo esiqinisekisiweyo.
Xa wayevula eyakhe inkampu kunye namaqabane amabini, wayesazi ukuba ufuna ukwenza izinto ngokwahlukileyo, eqala ngokugxila kugxilwe kwizilwanyana eziNhlanu eziKhulu (iingonyama, iinyathi, iingwe, imikhombe kunye neendlovu) ezikhuthazwa zii-safarigoers ukuba zifune. IBig Five ligama elalisethwe ekuqaleni ngabazingeli, kunye nomfanekiso wobukoloniyali; UPartois Ole Santian ungene endaweni yakhe nge-Big 20, ezobeka ezinye zeMara & apos; zezona zidumileyo, kodwa zincinci izidalwa ezinokuxhonywa eludongeni, ukusuka kwingcuka epeyintiweyo ukuya kwi-lilac-breasted roller. UPartois Ole Santian kunye nabalingane bakhe bajolise ekubeni neemveliso zokusetyenziswa okukodwa enkampini kunye nokwenza yonke into ibe ye-eco-friendly, ukusuka kwizicoci ukuya kwiiphedi zokubethela ezisetyenziselwa ukuhlamba izitya.
Kwaye bafuna ukwenza into eyayingazange yenziwe yenye inkampu ngaphambili: iizithuthi zombane, zixhotyiswe lilanga.
'Ngoku, thina & apos; siyakubonisa oku ngaphakathi koluntu lwam apha. Abantu banomdla kwaye babuza imibuzo malunga nendlela enokwenziwa ngayo, utshilo uPartois Ole Santian.
Ewe, phantse lonke ixesha i-Emboo River & apos; iimoto zombane ezihamba ngombane zimisa ecaleni kwediesel zemveli, abakhenkethi abanomdla kunye nabafoti abaziingcali bakhupha iintloko zabo ukuze baqinisekise oko bakubonayo (nokungaboni). Ezinye zeefoto zeLand Cruiser kunye neepaneli zecala, apho uphawu lwenkampu ye-Emboo luprintwe kwiorenji kunye ne '1st Electric Safari Vehicle eMaasai Mara.' Ukuqhuba unqumle ithafa, uphefumla umoya ococekileyo, kwaye ukuva ukusika okuzolileyo kuphela kweentaka kunye nokutyunyuzwa kwengca emthubi phantsi kweenyawo zendlovu ngamava angenakuthelekiswa nanto, kwaye awunamava kwisithuthi esixokozelayo esishiya umsi wedizili umzila.

U-Emboo uyinkokeli, kodwa ayisiyedwa. Ezinye iinkampu eMaasai Mara zilandela ngokulandelayo kwaye ziguqula kancinci iimoto zazo ezindala. I-Lewa Wilderness kumantla eKenya & apos; iLewa Wildlife Conservancy yayiyeyokuqala ukongeza isithuthi sombane kwizithuthi zayo, kwaye iyaqhubeka nokuthatha iindwendwe kuzo zonke ii-safaris zombane.
Kwaye i-Opibus ayizikhupheli kwiseti ye-safari; Inkampani ikwinkqubo yokukhupha izithuthuthu zombane, indlela eyaziwayo yezothutho ezixekweni, kunye neemoto zombane, iibhasi ezilawula izithuthi zikawonkewonke eKenya. Lonke ulwakhiwo nokwenziwa ngokutsha kwenzeka ngaphakathi, kuzisa imisebenzi eNairobi. (Abaqeshwa ngama-85% aseKenya.)
Okwangoku, zonke iinqwelo zombane zibeka i-Emboo ngaphandle kwezinye iinkampu zaseMara. Kodwa uPartois Ole Santian unethemba lokuba kuya kutshintsha.
Ukubangowasekhaya kwaye uvela apha, kulungile kakhulu ukuba sibe kule ndawo sikuyo ngoku - ukubonisa ukuba oku kunokwenziwa, utshilo. UMara unesibane esiphela kwitonela. Ngenye imini, siza kubuyela kwindlela eyayiyiyo kwiminyaka engama-50 okanye engama-60 eyadlulayo. '
