Ngaba abahlali bayabaxhasa abakhenkethi abatyelele iKenya ngoku?

Ezokhenketho eKenya zikhule ngaphezulu kwe- $ 2 yezigidi, zangena kwi-1.6 yezigidigidi zeedola ngo-2019, kodwa ngo-2020, i-COVID-19 inefuthe elimandla kwingeniso yeshishini, kwaye amawaka eenkampani ezinxulumene nohambo kunye nabasebenzi baye babethwa kanobom. Umlawuli weSafari uKitonyi George Kamonde usebenze UMicato Safaris kangangeminyaka eli-10. Phambi kobhubhane, wayesebenzela ukubuyela umva komdlalo weqonga, kodwa ukusukela ngoMatshi, wakhokela amaqela amabini kuphela-elinye ngo-Okthobha nelinye ngoDisemba, ebendikulo. UKamonde uziva kwaye abone ifuthe lentsholongwane koogxa bakhe.

Okwangoku, uninzi lweendawo zokulala zisebenza kuphela kwiipesenti ezingama-50, kwaye abantu abaninzi bakwikhefu elingahlawulelwayo, utshilo uKamonde. Ucinga ukuba iiprotokholi zomanyano kunye nexesha lokubuyela ekhaya lincedile ukunciphisa inani lamatyala e-COVID-19. Abantu babesele bephila ngokuhlawulwa ngaphambi kokuba bangene kwintsholongwane. Abantu benzakele ngokwenene, utshilo uKamonde.

Ukongeza kubasebenzi baseKenya abanxulumene nezokhenketho bathatha i-hit, ubhubhane ukwenze kwanzima ukugcina ubudlelwane obuxabisekileyo nabantu balapha, njengabantu baseMaasai, iqela lokuziphatha lomthonyama elihlala kumbindi nakumazantsi eKenya. Uluntu lwamaMaasai luyinxalenye ebalulekileyo yoqoqosho lwezokhenketho lwaseKenya. Uninzi lwamaMaasai lusebenza kwiihotele kunye / okanye kwiinkampani zabakhenkethi. Ibe yintengiso yorhwebo-abakhenkethi bafumana amava awodwa okufunda ngabantu baseMaasai kunye nenkcubeko yabo, ngelixa uluntu luxhamla kubudlelwane norhulumente waseKenya kunye namaqela agcina izilwanyana zasendle.

Uninzi lwabantu balapha bakholelwa ukuba kukho ulungelelwaniso phakathi kokugcina bonke abantu baseKenya bekhuselekile kwaye bencedisa uqoqosho lwezokhenketho oluhlaselweyo ukuba luhlale lusebenza. Kwaye kukho imiqondiso yokuba inzala eKenya iyabuya- nangona ithe chu. Nangona benethemba lokulumka, kwaye kufanelekile, uThorburn Cattermole, umphathi e UMlambo iSand Masai Mara , ikholelwa ukuba iintsuku ezingcono zingaphambili. Ndiqale ukubona ukwanda kwabahambi, ngakumbi amaMelika, ngoNovemba, utshilo. Kumnandi ukuva amazwi aseMelika kwakhona.

Yintoni ekufuneka uyenzile ngaphambi kokuba uye eKenya?

Bonke abakhweli abafika eKenya kufuneka bathathe i-PCR (polymerase chain reaction) ye-COVID-19 kwaye babe nobungqina beziphumo zabo ezimbi kwiiyure ezingama-96 ngaphambi kokufika kwabo. Ixesha kufuneka lichaneke. Umzekelo, amavili enqwelomoya yam kwakulindeleke ukuba afike ezantsi eNairobi ngeCawa nge-11: 55 ebusuku. Ke, ndithathe isampulu yam yovavanyo ngolwesiThathu ngentsimbi yesihlanu, iiyure ezingama-96 ngaphambi kwexesha lokufika kwam eNairobi, ukuvumela igumbi lokujikeleza xa inqwelo-moya ilibazisekile.

Kuvavanyo lwe-PCR, ndicebisa ukuba kusetyenziswe Abacebisi be-COVID Inkonzo yokuthunyelwa ngeposi eqinisekisa ukutshintsha iiyure ezingama-24 ukuya kuma-48. Ngokungafaniyo novavanyo oluthile, kuya kufuneka uhlawule i-219 yeedola, kodwa ezinye iinkampani zokhenketho zibuyisela abahambi umrhumo omkhulu. Ndikwacebisa ukuba uthathe uvavanyo lwesibini lwe-PCR njenge-backup ukunceda ukukhulula nakuphi na ukuxhalaba onokubanako, ukuba iziphumo zakho zovavanyo azibuyi ngexesha. Abemi base-US abangenalo uvavanyo banokungavunyelwa ukuba bakhwele inqwelomoya ehamba okanye bangavunyelwa ukungena eKenya, ke cwangcisa kwangaphambili kwaye uqiniseke ukuba ubala ngokuchanekileyo ixesha lovavanyo lwakho.

Emva kokufumana iziphumo zovavanyo olubi lwe-COVID-19, bonke abahambi bamazwe aphesheya kufuneka bagcwalise iSebe lezeMpilo laseKenya I-COVID-19 yeFom yokuHlolwa kwezeMpilo kwi-intanethi. Ukongeza ekubuzeni ipasipoti efanelekileyo kunye nemibuzo yokuhamba, le fomu ibuza malunga nemeko yakho yangoku yezempilo njengoko inxulumene ne-coronavirus.

Nje ukuba ungenise ngempumelelo iphepha lemibuzo elikwi-Intanethi, uya kufumana ikhowudi ye-QR yokukhuphela njengePDF. Phrinta iikopi ezininzi njengoko ucinga ukuba unokufuna. Ukuba ungenisa ifom yakho kwi-intanethi kwaye ufumana iphepha elingenanto lekhowudi yakho ye-QR, ungakhathazeki - gcwalisa nje le fomu kwakhona usebenzisa isikhangeli esahlukileyo, ngokukuko i-Chrome.

Abemi baseMelika kuya kufuneka benze isicelo eVisa ukudlula kumasiko eKenya. A ivisa yabakhenkethi Ixabisa i $ 50, kwaye kuya kufuneka usete iakhawunti kuqala. Emva kokungenisa isicelo sakho kwi-Intanethi, jonga rhoqo ukuze ubone ukuba samkelwe na. Ngelishwa, awuyi kufumana saziso nge-imeyile malunga nokuvunywa kwakho, kodwa wakube uqinisekisiwe, phrinta ikopi ukubonisa igosa lezothengiso laseKenya xa lifika eNairobi.

Ukongeza kwi-eVisa, iziphumo ezingalunganga zovavanyo lwe-COVID-19, kunye nekhowudi ye-QR efunyenwe ngokuzalisa ifom yokuHlolwa kwezeMpilo, abahambi abaya eKenya kufuneka baqwalasele utyelelo kugqirha wabo oyintloko ukuze agonyelwe izifo ezimbalwa ezisongela ubomi, ezinje njenge yellow fever kunye nesifo seengcongconi. Akukho zigonyo zifunekayo ukungena eKenya ukuba ufika uvela e-U.S., Canada, okanye i-Yurophu, kodwa kuhlala kungumbono olungileyo ukuthatha amanyathelo ongezelelweyo ukuze uhlale usempilweni kwaye wonwabele uhambo lwakho. Ukugonywa nge-yellow fever, unokufumana ifoto (i-YF-Vax okanye iStamaril) ethatha malunga neentsuku ezili-10 ukuze usebenze-into ekufuneka uyigcine engqondweni xa ucwangcisa kwangaphambili. Kwaye ukukhusela isifo seengcongconi, ugqirha wakho angakucebisa ukuba uthathe ichiza elichasene ne-malaria, njenge-atovaquone / proguanil, chloroquine, primaquine, okanye doxycycline. (Ndiqale ukuthatha iintsuku ezintathu zokugqibela ngaphambi kokuba ndimke kwaye ndiqhubeke ngexesha nasemva kohambo lwam.) Kwakhona, jonga ugqirha wakho ukuze ufumane iinkcukacha ezithe kratya.

Kunjani ukubhabha usiya eKenya kanye ngoku?

Ukuhamba ngenqwelo moya okujikelezayo kubhukishwe ngeQatar Airways, kunye nenqwelomoya yokuqhagamshela kwiziko leenqwelo moya, kwisikhululo senqwelomoya saseHamad, eDoha, Qatar. Ngaphambi kokufika kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya i-Dulles International Airport (IAD), ndacelwa ukuba ndigcwalise IFom yokuVuma kwabahambi , ebonelela ngolwazi malunga neziphumo zam ezibi zokuhlolwa kwe-PCR kunye nesivumelwano sokuthobela izikhokelo zempilo kunye nezikhokelo zenqwelo moya. Kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya, zonke iivenkile zokuzinceda azisekho. Endaweni yoko, kuye kwafuneka ndingene kummeli weenkonzo ze-Qatar Airways, owayekhuselwe yiplexiglass.

Phambi kokuba bakhwele, bonke abakhweli nabo bafumana ikhuselo lobuso, ekufuneka silinxibe kunye nemaski. Sasivunyelwe ukuba sisuse ikhaka emva kokukhwela kunye nokumisa kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya esidibanisa.

Nje ukuba bakhwele, abakhweli banikwa isikhwama sohambo kunye nokuzithemba, esasiquka iiglavu zelatex, isicoci sezandla kunye nemaski. Abanye abakhweli kwiklasi yeshishini (iiQsuites) bavunyelwe ukuba basuse iimaski zabo. Gcina ukhumbula ukuba IiQsuites azifani nezihlalo zeenqwelo moya, kuba zibonelela ngamacandelo abucala aneesahlulo sokutyibilika ukwahlula abakhweli kwenye.

Oko kwathiwa, i-airline yayineendlela ezininzi zokukhusela kunye neenkqubo ezikhoyo, kubandakanywa ukubonelela nge-PPE (izixhobo ezikhuselekileyo) kubasebenzi bayo (umzekelo, iingubo zokukhusela ezihambelana neyunifomu, iiglasi zokukhusela, iiglavu kunye neemaski). I-Qatar Airways ikwasebenzisa Inkqubo ye-Ultraviolet Cabin njengonyango olungeyomichiza lokucoca izihlalo zeenqwelomoya, imiphezulu kunye neekhabhathi. Inqwelo moya ithi banezona nkqubo zokucoca umoya zihambele phambili, zixhotyiswe ngezihluzo zeHPA ezinobungakanani bemizi-mveliso ezisusa i-99.97% yeentsholongwane kunye neentsholongwane ezivela kumoya ojikelezayo, ekhusela abakhweli kusulelo. Kwaye akukho sidingo sokukhathazeka ngokhuseleko lokutya okundizayo, nokuba yeyiphi-ke into enikwa igutyungelwe okanye isongelwe.

Kwenzeka ntoni xa ufika eKenya?

Kwisikhululo senqwelomoya saseHamad samanye amazwe, apho ndibambe khona inqwelomoya endiza kudibana kuyo, bonke abakhweli bacelwa ukuba bathathe ubuso babo. Njengoko sasifolile, kwafuneka sidlule umntu osebenza enxibe isigcina-ntloko, ukuze akwazi ukuthatha amaqondo ethu obushushu nge-infrared imaging. Ukongeza kwiimaski zobuso ezinyanzelekileyo, indawo yokuhlala ekuhlaleni emasangweni, kunye nezixhobo zokucoca izandla ezingachukumisiyo, isikhululo seenqwelomoya sasineerobhothi ezibulala iintsholongwane ze-UV-C ezinendawo ezinabantu abaninzi.

Isikhululo senqwelomoya iJomo Kenyatta eNairobi, eKenya, siphumeze iinkqubo ezifanelekileyo zempilo nezokhuseleko. Phambi kokufika, abagadi beenqwelomoya basixelela ukuba sizakushenxiselwa kumasiko ngeebhasi, kodwa ngokwamaqela amancinci angadluli kubantu abali-10 ukuya kweli-15 ngexesha. Inkqubo yokumisa inokuba ithathe ixesha elide kunesiqhelo, kodwa yayenzelwe ukugcina abakhweli bekhuselekile kwaye bemi kude.

Ekungeneni kwesikhululo seenqwelomoya, igosa elihlola izinto zangaphandle lijonga ukuba ngaba umkhweli ngamnye unayo ikhowudi ye-QR ye-COVID-19 efunekayo yokujonga impilo; Elinye igosa, elinxibe isigcina-ntloko sokuhlola, lithathe iqondo lethu lobushushu sisebenzisa ukuskena okungafakwanga ekunxibelelaneni nobushushu kunye nemifanekiso ye-infrared-efana naleyo yayisetyenziswa eDoha. Emva kokudlulela kumda omfutshane wokungeniswa kwamasiko, igosa lacela ukubona ipasipoti yam, i-eVisa, ikhowudi yokuqinisekisa ye-QR, iziphumo zovavanyo ezingekhoyo ze-PCR, kunye nefom yeSibhengezo sokuQiniswa kweCoronavirus ukuba abagadi beenqwelo moya babanike abakhweli xa bengena.

Kucetyiswa ngamandla ukuba wenze iikopi ezimbalwa kuwo onke amaphepha akho ayimfuneko, njengoko kusenokufuneka ubonise iifom ezithile amaxesha amaninzi kubasebenzi beenqwelo moya, ukhuseleko kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya, nakumagosa amasiko apha endleleni.

Uhambo lwam luye lwabhukishwa nguMicato Safaris, ngoko ke ummeli wadibana nam kunye nabanye oogxa bethu kumasiko abo ukuze basincede sikhokele lenkqubo xa kunokwenzeka kubekho imicimbi. Kwiveni, umqhubi wayecoca yonke imithwalo ngaphambi kokuba ayilayishe, kwaye abakhweli banikwa isicoci sezandla ngaphambi kokuba bakhwele isithuthi.

Kunjani ukuhlala ehotele eKenya ngoku?

Ngaphambi kokungena kwihotele ye-chic Hemingways eNairobi, unogada ogqume ubuso uthathe ubushushu bomntu wonke, kwaye kwisango eliphambili kwigumbi lokungenisa, bekukho izikhululo ezimbalwa zococeko - iisinki ezincinci zokuhlamba izandla kunye nezicoci-zandla - ukugcina iindwendwe zingenantsholongwane.

Ukongeza ekunikezeni ugqirha weyure ezingama-24 kwiindwendwe, bonke abasebenzi basehotele bayacelwa ukuba bathathe uvavanyo lwe-COVID-19 rhoqo, kunye nokufumana uqeqesho kwezempilo nakwimigaqo yococeko evela kugqirha onamava. Abasebenzi bafumana uqeqesho oluqhubekayo lokuqinisekisa ukuba banolwazi ngamanyathelo othintelo asetyenziselwa ukuthintela ukusasazeka kwentsholongwane. Umzekelo, akukho nkonzo yokurhoxa ngaphandle kokuba undwendwe luyayicela, kananjalo akukho kugcinwa kwendlu ngelixa undwendwe luhlala kwigumbi okanye kwigumbi lokuhlala.

Ngexesha lokuhlala kwam, abasebenzi kwakufuneka banxibe izinto zokugquma ubuso ngalo lonke ixesha, kwaye iindwendwe kwakufuneka zinxibe iimaski ngelixa zihambahamba kwiindawo zikawonke-wonke, ezinjengegumbi lokungenisa iindwendwe nakwindawo yokutyela esizeni xa zingatyi. Zonke iindawo zikawonke-wonke, kunye neendawo zokuchukumisa eziphezulu ezinjengeebhokhwe zomnyango, zacocwa kabini yonke imihla. Kukwafanelekile ukukhankanya ukuba iingcango ezinkulu zehotele kunye neefestile ezisemgangathweni ziye zishiywe zivulekile ukuvumela ukujikeleza komoya ngokufanelekileyo.

Kunjani ukuhlala kwinkampu ye-safari okanye indawo yokulala eKenya ngoku?

Yayiyimizuzu engama-45 yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya kwinqwelo-moya yase-Amboseli kunye nemizuzu engama-45 yokuqhuba ukuya Inkampu ye-Elewana Tortilis -Nike okanye uthathe imizuzu embalwa eyongezelelweyo ukumisa kwaye ubone izilwanyana zasendle endleleni. Isicoci-sandla sasibonelelwa kuzo zonke iindwendwe ngaphambi kokunyanzeliswa kokudluliselwa kweveni, kwaye imithwalo yatshizwa ngesibulali-ntsholongwane. Abasebenzi kunye neendwendwe zazigqunyiwe ngexesha lokuqhuba ukuya kwinkampu ye-safari.

Ngokufana nehotele, umntu osebenza enkampini walinda kwisango lokungena ukuze athabathe iqondo lobushushu lomntu wonke kwaye wakhomba nezokucoca izandla ezikufutshane ukuze kube lula. Emva kokuba sikhutshiwe, umsebenzi wasamkela enkampini ngeglasi yejusi yeziqhamo esandula ukufakwa.

Ngokubhekisele kwimidlalo yokuqhuba, bekukho enye kusasa kwaye enye ngokuhlwa. Ukulungiswa kweToyota Land Cruisers kunye neepopu eziphakanyisiweyo kunye nejeep ezivulekileyo zazisetyenziselwa ukuvumela abakhweli ukuba baphakame, bajonge izilwanyana zasendle, bafumane umoya omtsha, kwaye bathathe iifoto ezintle zeNtaba iKilimanjaro. Ezi protocols ezifanayo zokhuseleko zilandelwe nazo Indlu ye-Elewana Rhinoceros , ebekwe kufutshane neLewa Wildlife Conservancy, kunye nase Elewana Sand River , kufutshane neMaasai Mara National Reserve.

Kufuneka iqatshelwe into yokuba abaphathi behotele kunye neenkampu, kunye nezikhokelo zabakhenkethi, banokuba negalelo ekucwangciseni uvavanyo lwe-COVID-19 PCR ngaphambi kokushiya iKenya. Ngamanye amaxesha, iinkampani zokhenketho zingayifaka njengenxalenye yephakheji ye-safari okanye njengexabiso lexabiso elongeziweyo ukuqinisekisa ukuba ubuyela ekhaya usempilweni.

Yintoni onokuyenza eKenya ngoku?

Abahambi abalindele amava obhubhane wangaphambi kokuba baphume kwithamsanqa. Kumzi weenkedama uSheldrick Elephant kunye noRhino, umzekelo, amaqela abucala avunyelwe kuphela ngesicelo kwaye kanye ngemini ngentsimbi yesithathu. Ngaphambi kwalo bhubhani, abantu abangaphezu kwama-500 bathontelana kwikhaya leenkedama bezilwanyana ukuza kubona iintsana zeendlovu noMaxwell, umkhombe omhlophe ongaboniyo. Ngoku, ubukhulu bamaqela bancitshisiwe baba ngabantu be-10 kuphela ngemini ngamava asondeleyo.

Okwangoku, kwi-African Fund for Endangered Wildlife - Giraffe Centre, abantu abasebenza esizeni bajonga iqondo lobushushu lomntu ngamnye, kwaye iindwendwe kufuneka zihlambe izandla phambi kokondla okanye ukusondela kwindlulamthi. Nangona kunjalo, iindwendwe zingalindela imigca emifutshane kunye nezihlwele ezimbalwa kwiindawo ezithandwayo zabakhenkethi.

Ukongeza kwizinto ezinomtsalane kubakhenkethi, iihambo zohambo lwe-safari kunye nezinto ezinokwenziwa zingarhoxiswa okwexeshana okanye ziguqulwe ukuze kugcinwe intsholongwane. Umzekelo, ingxoxo noMeoli, unyana wenkosi yoluntu lwaseMaasai e-Amboseli, ihlala icwangciselwe iindwendwe endaweni yokutyelela ilali. Luhambo lokuhamba iinkampani kunye neenkampu zithatha ukugcina abantu bomthonyama bekhuselekile. Abakhenkethi kuya kufuneka balinde ukuza kuba ngamangqina kwaye bathathe inxaxheba kumdaniso odumileyo wokuxhuma weMaasai owaziwa njenge adamu , yinxalenye yomsitho we-Eunoto, ngexa amakhwenkwe etshintshela emadodeni. Ukuba enye yeenjongo zakho eziphambili kukuthatha inxaxheba kumava okuntywila abandakanya abahlali, unokufuna ukuzibamba ekutyeleleni iKenya de ibe le minikelo iqala kwakhona emva kwesifo.
