Ngemva kweminyaka eyimpumelelo yezindiza zezivakashi phezu kweSerengeti National Park edumile yase-Afrika, uhambo olujabulisayo lwe-balloon safari lunwetshelwe e-Ruaha National Park eNingizimu neTanzania.

I-Serengeti Balloon Safaris yethule izindiza zebhaluni lomoya oshisayo e-Ruaha National Park, manje esibalwa phakathi kwepaki enkulu kunazo zonke evikelwe izilwane zasendle e-Afrika.

Uhlobo olusha lwe-hot air tourist safaris lwethulwa eTanzania ngo-1989 ngezindiza zalo zasekuseni emathafeni aseSerengeti National Park enyakatho yeTanzania.

Izindiza zaqala emathafeni aseSerengeti ngo-1989 futhi sezindize abantu abangaphezu kuka-250,000 abahambele i-safari, okuhlanganisa iningi lezivakashi ezidumile zaseTanzania kanye nabasebukhosini, ngemuva kwendiza yayo yokuqala, kusho imibiko yeSerengeti Balloon Safaris.

UJohn Corse, uMqondisi Ophethe weSerengeti Balloon Safaris utshele eTurboNews ukuthi i-balloon safaris ingene e-Ruaha National Park ngenyanga edlule.

"Sisanda kwenza izindiza zokuhlola e-Ruaha futhi zibe yimpumelelo enkulu, izimo zezindiza ezihluke kakhulu eziya e-Serengeti, umdlalo omnandi kanye nezwe elihle," kusho u-Corse.

I-Ruaha iyipaki elisendle kakhulu eTanzania futhi indawo yayo ebanzi yahlala ingakaze ithintwe umuntu futhi ipaki yasendle eTanzania enendawo ebanzi yahlala ingakaze ithintwe izandla zomuntu, ngaphandle kwezilwane zasendle ezinikezwe amalungelo emvelo okuhlala kuleli paki elidumile e-Afrika.

Izilwane zasendle ziningi eRuaha futhi indawo yayo iyamangalisa. Leli paki liwukukhanga okujabulisayo, hhayi kuphela kubahlali baseTanzania, kodwa izivakashi zakwamanye amazwe, okuhlangenwe nakho kwabo e-Afrika kuyingxenye ebalulekile yokuphila kwabo emhlabeni othuthukile.

I-Ruaha National Park ihlanganiswe ne-Usangu Game Reserve ukuze ikhulise ubukhulu bayo ngamakhilomitha-skwele angaphezu kuka-22,000, okuyenza ibe iNational Park enkulu kunazo zonke e-Afrika. Itholakala endaweni engamakhilomitha angaba ngu-120 ukusuka edolobheni lase-Iringa, futhi kuthatha amahora amabili ukushayela emgwaqeni omubi oya epaki, noma amahora ayisishiyagalombili ngemoto usuka enhlokodolobha yezohwebo yaseTanzania iDar es Salaam.

I-Ruaha National Park inemihlambi emikhulu yezindlovu, inani elikhulu kunawo wonke kunoma iyiphi ipaki yezwe yaseMpumalanga Afrika. Ivikela ingxenye enkulu yezwe eliwugwadule eliwugwadule elibonakala maphakathi neTanzania. Impilo yawo inguMfula iRuaha Omkhulu ogudla umngcele oseMpumalanga wepaki.

Imigwaqo emihle ebuka izilwane zasendle ilandela uMfula i-Great Ruaha nemingenela yawo yezinkathi ezithile zonyaka, lapho, ngenkathi eyomile, ama-impala, ama-waterbuck nezinye izinyamazane ezibeka ukuphila kwazo engozini ngenxa yengwenya elambile, enonya ukuze nje ziphuze amanzi asekela ukuphila.

Ubungozi bezimpilo zama-undulates bukhulu, ngokuzigqaja okungama-20-plus kwamabhubesi abusa phezu kwe-savannah, izingulule ezicanasa utshani obuvulekile, nezingwe ezicasha ezihlohleni zomfula eziphithene.

I-Ruaha futhi iyikhaya lezinhlobo zezinyoni ezingaphezu kuka-450. Isiqiwu sase-Usangu simboze i-Ihefu Wetland okuyindawo yokugcina amanzi emvelo yoMfula i-Great Ruaha ogeleza ubheke enyakatho wenze umfula i-Rufiji odumile.

Ukubuka inkunzi yendlovu egijimayo, ukubona amabhubesi akhwelayo noma umhlambi wamadube apheqululayo kuyinto ejabulisayo e-Ruaha National Park, ebalwa njengesikhungo sezilwane zasendle esikude kakhulu eMpumalanga Afrika.

Yakhiwe uMfula iRuaha Omkhulu, leli paki lizidla ngokuba nezilwane eziningi zasendle eTanzania lapho izilwane zasendle ezazitholakala ngobuningi.

Njengoba igcwele amachibi ajulile namanzi anyakazayo oMfula i-Ruaha, leli paki linikeza uhambo oluhle kakhulu lwezilwane zasendle endaweni yezokuvakasha yaseNingizimu Tanzania ngemva kweSerengeti enyakatho yeTanzania.

Umfula iRuaha uyisici semvelo esikhanga kakhulu kuleli paki. Isekela impilo enanini eliphezulu lezikole zezimvubu kanye nezingwenya okusho ukuthi zonke zihlangatshezwane nohambo lokugibela izikebhe. Izilwane zasemhlabeni zibonakala kalula zicima ukoma kwazo osebeni lomfula kuyilapho ezinye zivele ziye emfuleni ukuze zibhuquze futhi zidlale osebeni lwawo.

Ipaki ingafinyelelwa kalula ngendiza nangomgwaqo osuka ezikhumulweni zezindiza i-Mbeya ne-Iringa. Okumangalisa nakakhulu i-safaris ye-trekking ehlala izinsuku ezimbalwa. Iqembu elincane labahamba ngezinyawo liqala ekamu elinabaqondisi kanye nezinhloli zegeyimu. Kusihlwa bagxumeka amatende abo endaweni ebukekayo futhi bahambe ngakusasa ekuseni.

Ngokungafani namapaki asenyakatho, ukuvakasha kwabantu abaningi akubonwa e-Ruaha, futhi amakamu ahambisana nemvelo nezindawo zokulala ezihambisana nemvelo yizona zindawo zokuhlalisa izivakashi ezivelele lapho.

Izivakashi eziza epaki zizobuka izilwane zasendle zingajabulela ihlane eliyingqayizivele nelingonakalisiwe. I-Balloon safaris epaki izoba enye insizakalo ethokozisayo eyethulwe kuleli paki ukwengeza ukugqama kwayo phakathi kwamapaki ezilwane zasendle ase-Afrika.

Indiza yansuku zonke, yasekuseni kakhulu, ithatha abagibeli abayi-12, kusho uCorse.
