Ukubuka indawo ezungeze iJao Camp eBotswana

Sasisekamu lokugcina le-safari yethu - i-Jao Camp. Imaphakathi ne-Okavango futhi bekuyindawo yokuphenya imigudu namachweba adume ngawo i-Okavango. Uhambo lwethu lokuqala singena ekujuleni kwe-Okavango kwaba ngesikebhe esinenjini phakathi kwemibhede yomhlanga ne-papyrus. Umhlahlandlela wethu wohambo bekungu-KB, umhlahlandlela ochwepheshile. U-KB usitshele ngabantu, izilwane zasendle, kanye nemvelo.

Indaba yakhe yokuqala ibimayelana nokuthi abantu bendawo basidla kanjani isiqu se-papyrus ngokudwengula ungqimba lwangaphandle nokugwinya ingaphakathi. Sidle okunye; kwakungemnandi kakhulu. Uphinde wasitshela ukuthi ngenkathi besohambweni lokudoba, amadoda enza inetha ngenkathi abesifazane nezingane beya emanzini anezingwenya ukuvuna izilimo eziyizigaxa zeminduze yamanzi.

Isimo se-Okavango siyisicaba ezineziqhingi ezincane, iziqhingi ezidalwe umuhlwa. Umuhlwa wakha izidleke zawo ngezikhathi zokoma; imbewu ithola isisekelo; kukhula izihlahla nezihlahlana. Izindunduma ezincane ziba zinkulu, ekugcineni ziphenduka iziqhingi. Imigudu edlula emhlangeni ngokuvamile yenziwa izimvubu njengoba zizula ngayo; kwakuyiziteshi esasivame ukuzihlola.

Ngemuva kokudabula emizileni yamanzi, sijabulela ubuhle bendawo futhi sibuka nezinyoni, sahlangana nemoto ebekelwe isikhathi osebeni lomhlaba owomile esangena kuyo. Ngemuva kwalokho ukubukwa komdlalo kwaqala.

Saqala ukuhlangana nengonyamakhosazana enamazinyane amane amaduna, cishe anezinyanga ezimbili ubudala. Wayebahola ngotshani, abathathu babo belandela ngokulalela. Izinyane lengonyama lokugcina lalikhononda kabuhlungu njengoba lalihamba, kwesinye isikhathi lihamba liye kolunye uhlangothi, liyinsizwa enesibindi. Ngesinye isikhathi, lo mama wabuyela kulo mfana owayephambana, futhi wabuyela emgqeni ngokushesha. Ekugcineni, umama walala phansi wavumela amawundlu ukuba ondle. U-KB uthe wayebone iqembu eliqhele ngamakhilomitha ngosuku olwedlule, ngakho-ke wazi ukuthi babehambe ibanga elide; amawundlu kusobala ukuthi ayekhathele.

Ezinye izilwane ezibonwe yilechwe, i-wildebeest, i-steenbok, i-reedbuck, i-tsessebe ne-impala. Bekumanzi impela, umdlalo ubusuka kwenye indawo, ngakho-ke besigxile empilweni yezinyoni, ebiyinhle kakhulu.

Ngakusasa kwaqala kwaba manzi; imvula ifiphaze umbono. Ezinye zezihambeli zaqinisa isibindi futhi zaphuma zaya ezikebheni ezigqokiswe ama-ponchos. Sasimane sijabulela amakamelo, sifunda izincwadi, sibheka amamephu, futhi ngokuvamile sivilapha. Ntambama, imvula bese ihambile, saphuma sayokwenza umdlalo wegeyimu. Futhi ngezansi nje komgwaqo sithole ibhubesi namabhubesikazi amabili. Lokhu bekungukubona kwethu kokuqala kwebhubesi lenduna kulo lonke lolu hambo, futhi bekufanele alinde - isoka lomfana langempela.

Futhi leyo bekuyindlela enhle yokuqeda uhambo oluphelele, sibonga iWilderness Safaris.
