Ezinyangeni ezimbili kuphela ngemva kokugqashuka kwesomiso eside nesibhubhisayo, ebesinezingxenye ze-East Africa iminyaka eminingana, izimvula ezinamandla ziphinde zidale izinkinga ezengeziwe kubantu basemaphandleni esifundeni. Izinkulungwane zamahektha omhlaba wezitshalo kubikwa ukuthi zigcwele amanzi, futhi kubonakala sengathi azipheli usongo olukhulayo lwezikhukhula ezicekele phansi imigwaqo, amabhuloho acwile emanzini, kwaphinde kwaholela ekufeni kwabantu ngenxa yokubihlika komhlaba kanye nezingozi ezihlobene nesimo sezulu. Okwesikhashana ngisho nomgwaqo omusha ophakathi kweKabale neKisoro, okuyindawo ebalulekile kwezokuvakasha ikakhulukazi ekulandeleleni ama-gorilla e-Uganda, wawungahambeki ngenxa yamatshe nodaka, ngaphambi kokuba uvulwe osonkontileka.
Kusukela eRwanda, phezu kwe-Uganda neKenya kuya eTanzania, yonke indawo kuvela imibiko ngomonakalo owenziwe kubalimi, okwenza kube nokushoda okuzayo kwezitshalo ezibalulekile njengommbila, njengoba amasimu engaphansi kwamanzi nembewu igugulekile. Kubikwa ukuthi inqwaba yabantu ishonile esifundeni sonke ezigamekweni ezihambisana nezikhukhula nemvula kanti izindawo ezikhungethwe yizikhukhula zishiye izinkulungwane zabantu ezindlini zabo.
Muva nje izingxenye zaseKampala ezibe nezikhukhula ngemva kwezimvula ezisondele eBhayibhelini, futhi izibikezelo zesimo sezulu zimbi njengoba izazi zezulu zibikezela ezinye izimvula ezibangelwa u-el Nino. Lezi zikhukhula zanwetshwa ukuvala umgwaqo obalulekile osuka eKampala uya esikhumulweni sezindiza samazwe ngamazwe e-Entebbe, ngaphandle nje kwemingcele yedolobha engxenyeni yezinqola ezimbili zomgwaqo, futhi amabhizinisi nezindawo zokuhlala, njengangonyaka odlule, zaphinde zagcwala izikhukhula zaze zafika ophahleni ngenxa yokushoda. wokudonsa amanzi noma amanzi avinjiwe. Abahambi abafika besuka e-Entebbe beza edolobheni nabagibeli ezindizeni ezisukayo kuthiwa baphoqeleke ukuthi balinde amahora amaningi ngaphambi kokuthi izikhukhula zihle kangangokuthi okungenani leyo ngxenye yomgwaqo yabe isikwazi ukudlula futhi.
Izivakashi ezihlose ukuya esifundeni zelulekwa kahle ukuthi zifune ulwazi kubaqhubi bazo be-safari mayelana nesimo semigwaqo noma-ke zishintshele ku-air safaris, ekwazi ukwehlisa izivakashi phakathi nendiza yehora ukusuka e-Entebbe, eNairobi, noma e-Arusha kuye ngisho nasezindaweni ezikude kakhulu, izinqolobane, kanye nokongiwa kwemvelo. Kodwa-ke, alukho ulwazi olufinyelele kule ntatheli okwamanje ukuthi i-safari kudingeke ukuthi iyekwe ngenxa yezimvula, kodwa iqiniseke kangcono kunokuzisola. Kunoma ikuphi, abaqhubi bezokuvakasha nabahamba phambili be-safari eMpumalanga Afrika ngokuvamile bayazi ukuthi bangabhekana kanjani nezimvula kanye nemiphumela futhi ngokuvamile bangathenjelwa kubo ekwenzeni izinto ezifanele ngokuzuzisa amakhasimende abo.
Khonamanjalo, njengoba kufakwa lo mbiko, ulaka lonkulunkulu bemvula seluphinde lwehlela eKampala ngezimvula ezinamandla kangangokuthi indawo ehlala umakhelwane oseduze ingabonakali kalula ngezifufula ezethulwa phezu kwethu.
