Ukusuka e-Elephant Sands Lodge kungamakhilomitha angama-150 ukuya ePandamatenga. Ngemva kokugcwalisa amafutha nokudla, salibangisa emngceleni. Uhlangothi lwaseBotswana lwalusebenza kahle futhi lunobungane. Iqembu leZimbabwe laliyingxenye lengxenye. Bekungekho muntu eposini. Salinda, kwafika amanye ama-gents azokwenza isitembu esibalulekile samadokhumenti. Akekho kubo owayegqoke umfaniswano; isikhulu sezokufika sasinesimo sengqondo. Kepha, bekungakaze kube khona muntu emngceleni izinsuku ezimbalwa, ngakho-ke ngicabanga ukuthi bebevele bekhungatheka futhi benesithukuthezi ohlelweni lwabo.

Sasuka emngceleni, umgwaqo wetiyela waseBotswana usiyisa lapho, sabe sesihlangana nomgwaqo waseZimbabwe - okwakungethusa kakhulu - wawungengaphezu kukamzila futhi wawungemuhle kangako. Kodwa kithi kwakumnandi.

Kwaba mnandi kakhulu lapho kamuva sibona ibhubesikazi lihamba emgwaqeni ngaphambili. Sasondela futhi, ngoba wahlala phansi otshanini obude eduze komgwaqo, okwasinikeza ithuba elihle lokuthwebula izithombe, wabe esezinza ukuze athi thize.

Sazulazula emgwaqeni, singaboni okuningi kodwa utshani obuphakeme, sagcina sifikile emnyango weHwange National Park. Imoto yami yenze enye yezindlela zayo ezijwayelekile futhi yenqaba ukuhamba. Ngivule ibhonethi; Angazi okuningi, kodwa ngangazi ukuthi yini ebangele lokhu kumisa, futhi ngokushesha sase sisendleleni futhi. Kungekude, amakhilomitha ayi-12 empeleni, safika eRobins Camp.

Sakhetha i-chalet esikhundleni sokugxumeka itende njengoba izindleko zazingehlukanga kangako, futhi sasikhathele ukugxumeka amatende.

Ngemva kokukhipha impahla emotweni, sasuka salibangisa kuBig Safari - yathatha cishe isigamu sehora, ngoba isibhakabhaka savuleka futhi kunalokho sanciphisa izinto. Hhayi-ke, inkathi yemvula, phela.

Laqhubeka lina, okwenza kwaba nzima ukubasa umlilo wokupheka, ngakho sahlala kuvulandi omncane, sadla ukudla okubandayo kwamathini, futhi sabuka imvula iconsa ophahleni. Sanquma ekuseni ngovivi.

Ama-chalets ase-Robins ahlanzekile futhi ahlanzekile, kodwa angacinana. Awekho amanetha omiyane efasiteleni, ngakho bahlala bevaliwe. Ngangifunde okunye okuphawulwe encwadini yezivakashi mayelana namagumbi aminyene. Umbhali wayeke waphawula ukuthi wathola amagumbi eshisa, wavula umnyango, kodwa kwafika impisi. Ngakhetha ukugcina umnyango uvaliwe.

Ngakusasa ekuseni laligqamile futhi libalele, kodwa lalina kakhulu ebusuku futhi sanquma ukungayi kolunye uhambo olukhulu. Ngathatha uhambo lokuzungeza iRobins. Isesimweni esidabukisayo. Amaphoyisa azama konke okusemandleni awo ukuyigcina icocekile futhi icocekile, kodwa kusobala ukuthi banemali encane yokuyilungisa; izinto seziqala ukubukeka zidinga ukulungiswa. Futhi bathanda ukushanela, ngakho ngokuguguleka nokuguguleka kwemvula, izisekelo zezakhiwo ziyadalulwa, nezindonga seziqala ukuqhekeka.

Ngemva kokupakisha imota, sahamba kancane sibuyela epaki kanye leMatetsi Safari saze safika emgwaqweni omkhulu weBulawayo-Victoria Falls, uhambo olungamakhilomitha angaba yikhulu lamatshumi amabili. Asizange sijahe, ngoba yayiyinhle kakhulu; izimbali, izihlahla, nezihlahlana kusaqhakaza.

Kufanele ngiye eRobins Camp futhi; ngalesi sikhathi ngenkathi eyomile. Kusamele ngivakashele le ndawo, futhi ngiyazi ukuthi idume ngokuba yinhle kakhulu. Futhi ngifuna ukubona izingcezu ezinhle.
