Ngamangala kakhulu futhi ngajabula lapho ngifika esikhumulweni sezindiza iVictoria Falls, eZimbabwe. Lesi sikhungo sesimanjemanje sakhiwa nguNgqongqoshe Wezokuvakasha Nezivakashi ZaseZimbabwe owake waba nguNgqongqoshe Wezokuvakasha, uDkt. Lesi sikhungo sesimanjemanje sinikeza umgwaqo omusha owamukela izindiza ezinemizimba ebanzi emi-150, ama-carousel amasha nezindawo zokwamukela izivakashi, isibalo esandayo sezikhulu zabokufika futhi samukela kahle izivakashi eziningi nsuku zonke.

Isikhala Esiyingqayizivele

Ngenkathi amatekisi etholakala esikhumulweni sezindiza aya emahhotela, kungakuhle ukuthi ihhotela lakho lihlelele iveni yakho lapho ufika khona.

Kunezinketho eziningi zokuhlala eVictoria Falls; noma kunjalo, intandokazi yami:

IVictoria Falls Safari Club

Ngemuva kwezinsuku ngihamba ngezindiza, ngidabula ezikhumulweni zezindiza, ngimi olayini ongapheli futhi ngihamba ngemigwaqo enothuli, ngangikhathele futhi ngikhathazekile ukuthola indlela yokuphefumula umoya nesiphuzo esibandayo. Ngenkathi umshayeli edlula umgwaqo obonisa ukufika eLodge, ngezwa ukuhlaselwa ukukhathazeka kungena ngokuqonda kwami. Ngabe ibukeka kanjani i-lodge safari? Ingabe ukulindela kwami ​​bekungokoqobo noma kungenangqondo (bekususelwa kuzincwajana nakwimamuvi). Ngabe lezi zinsuku ezimbili zokuhamba zingapheli zizoklonyeliswa, noma bengizodumala?

Kafushane - impendulo yami ibingu-OMG! Indawo yokwamukela izivakashi incwajana ngokuphelele futhi ukwamukelwa kwabasebenzi yilokho okudingwa yilo mhambi okhathele. Ngemuva kokubingelela okufudumele ngaphiwa isiphuzo esipholile nesihlalo esihle kanye nesicelo esiqotho sokuthi ngihlanganyele uhambo lwami. Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi umphathi wehhotela wayenezinye izinto ayezenza ezazibaluleke ngaphezu kokulalela i-odyssey yami, kodwa ngomoya ophansi nangenhlonipho wakhombisa intshisekelo eqotho ohambweni lwami olusuka eManhattan luya eZimbabwe.

Ekugcineni lapho ngiqeda (obekumele ngabe bekuyindaba ende kakhulu), ngabhaliswa ku-database yehhotela, ngaphelezelwa egumbini lami, futhi nganikezwa ishejuli nolwazi lokudla / ukuphuza ongakhetha kukho, okuhehayo, nokubuka konke kwezimfanelo ezihlukile wehhotela. .

Igumbi Lami? Iphelele!

I-Club yakhelwe endaweni ephakeme yamagquma enikeza ukubukwa okungapheli kwe-panveic yasendle kanye nokushona kwelanga okumangalisayo kwase-Afrika; umgodi wamanzi esizeni muhle kakhulu ekubukeleni umdlalo.

Izindawo zokuhlala zinemidwebo nemibala yase-Afrika futhi ifomethi evulekile idala umuzwa wobubanzi. Ngebhalkhoni elihlolwe ngasese nendawo yokugezela en-suite, lokhu kuyisimo sokunethezeka ngaphandle kokuzijabulisa.

Ngemuva kokugeza ngamanzi abandayo, ngikhipha izinto ezimbalwa ebengizidingayo epotimendeni engiliphethe, ngabuyela endaweni yokwamukela izivakashi ukuze ngikhonjwe indlela yokudlela yaseMaKuwa-Kuwa ukuze ngidle isidlo sasemini noMphathi-Jikelele wangaleso sikhathi, uJonathan Hudson.

Ngivame ukweqa isidlo sasemini lapho ngihamba, ngikubheka njengokuchitha isikhathi esiyigugu sokubona; nokho, ukuskena ngokushesha imenyu kwashintsha umqondo wami.

Isidlo sasemini namaNqe

Uma ukudla okumnandi newayini elimnandi laseNingizimu Afrika kunganele ukukugcina ubandakanyeka ngesikhathi sokudla kwasemini eSafari Club, khetha itafula elibheke umhlabathi osetshenziselwa Ukondla Amanqe. Kunzima ukukholelwa ukuthi inqe isisohlwini oluzoqothuka e-Afrika. Yize beyingxenye edingekayo yohlelo lwe-eco-system (iqembu lokuhlanza uhlobo) bayabhujiswa.

Abazingeli abangekho emthethweni babulala izindlovu, banqume amazinyo abo, bese bejova ushevu ezinsaleni. Amanqe adla izidumbu ziyafa ngokudla inyama enobuthi. Uma bengafi, amafu amanqe aphilayo ayezoxwayisa abagibeli endaweni yabazingeli abazingeli.

Ngaphezu kwabazingeli abangekho emthethweni, izizwe zendawo zibulala amanqe ngezizathu zokwelashwa. Kwesinye isikhathi zifa ngengozi lapho zindiza ezintanjeni zikagesi.

Gcina Amanqe

Eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-18 eyedlule, abasebenzi baseVictoria Falls Safari Lodge naseClub banquma ukusiza amanqe baqala ukubondla. Manje bamema izivakashi kule ndawo ukuthi zizobabukela bedliswa (Vulture Culture). Umcimbi wansuku zonke wenzeka phambi kweBuffalo Bar. Izihambeli zingahamba ngomgwaqo omncane wobhuqu zilinde “esikhungweni” noma zihlale etafuleni lokubuka ngengilazi ebandayo ye-chardonnay - futhi zibuke izinyoni zikujabulela ukudla kwazo kwasemini.

Izinyoni zifika zidle emakhanda, ezinyaweni nasezinsaleleni zenyama yenkomo, izinkukhu nezingulube (kususelwa kulokho okutholakala ekhishini lehhotela). Balinda ngesineke lapho uMhlahlandlela Wamanqe uphonsa izingcezu zesidumbu, futhi njengoba ehamba, behla ngomkhosi.

Okulandelayo Misa. IZambesi Royal River Cruise (Wild Horizons)

Indlela ephelele yokujabulela ukushona kwelanga lase-Afrika isolwandle lwaseZambesi. Ithimba lezivakashi lifaka umpheki, umabarmen nomphathi. Lesi sikebhe sisuka eCruise Terminal futhi sihambahamba eziqhingini sisondeza abagibeli eduze nezilwane zasendle eziningi (izingwenya, izindlovu, izimvubu nezinyoni). Izithambisi ezimnandi nezichichimayo, ukukhetha okuningi kweziphuzo kanye nabasebenzi abahle bakwenza lokhu kube yinto ebalulekile eZimbabwe.

Emuva eSafari Club, isikhathi se-cocktail ithuba elihle lokuthola izinto eziningi ezivela kumpheki nokuphuza iwayini laseNingizimu Afrika ngenkathi kukhunjulwa ukushona kwelanga. Isitobhu esilandelayo isidlo sakusihlwa eBoma.

IBoma Dinner neDrum Show

IBoma ingaphezu kwendawo yokudlela - kungumcimbi okhethekile. Amakhulu ezivakashi, amathani okudla, ezokungcebeleka ngabadansi bendawo Amakwezi - konke lokhu kunikela ekwenzeni lokhu kube ngubusuku beshashalazi. Ukujabulela ngempela "idrama" - ngena ngesimo "sokungabi nacala". Yamukela indwangu yase-Afrika eboshelwe emahlombe akho, nambitha konke kufaka phakathi i-warthog eyosiwe. Amathebula abekwa asondelene kakhulu - okwenza kube lula ukuxoxa nabanye izivakashi.

Ukudla kwasekuseni eClub

Akunandaba ukuthi ngidle kangakanani izolo ebusuku, ngiyafisa ukwazi ukuthi "kudliwani kwasekuseni" lapho ngisendleleni. Izwe ngalinye nehhotela kunendlela yalo ehlukile kulokhu kudla kokuqala kosuku.

Izivakashi zeClub ngeke zilambe. Kunokukhetha okuningi okukhangayo, okusetshenzelwa endaweni enhle ngabasebenzi abaqeqeshwe kahle… Ngifisa sengathi ngingangena - unomphela.

Uhla Lwamabhakede Lapho Uya khona: IVictoria Falls

Umhloli wamazwe wase-Afrika, uDavid Livingstone “wathola” iMpophoma, wayiqamba ngeNdlovukazi uVictoria. Ungowokuqala waseYurophu ukuwela i-Afrika esuka eningizimu aye enyakatho ethola lesi sigameko ngo-1855 ngenkathi eshumayela ubuKristu e-Afrika. IVictoria Falls yaba yindawo ekhangayo ngesikhathi sokubusa kwamakholoni aseBrithani eNyakatho naseNingizimu Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) kanti leli dolobha lakhula laba isikhungo sokuvakasha.

Ukuqala Kwezokuvakasha

IVictoria Falls yaqala ukunakwa ngabaseYurophu ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20. Le ndawo yathuthukiswa ngenxa yokugxila kwelaser kukaCecil John Rhodes (1853-1902) owayefuna ukusebenzisa imithombo yayo yemvelo (amahlathi okhuni, izindlovu zendlovu, izikhumba zezilwane namalungelo ezimbiwa). URhodes empeleni wenza iningi lomcebo wakhe ngokulawula kwakhe izimayini zamadayimane futhi waqala iDeBeers nomfowabo uHerbert.

Ukuqala lo msebenzi, wahlela ibhuloho lokuwela uMfula iZambezi futhi izitimela zaqala ukuletha ezokuhamba nezentengiselwano zisuka eKapa, ​​SA zize eBelgian Congo (1905). Ngawo-1990 abantu ababalelwa ku-300,000 XNUMX babevakashela lezi Zimpophoma minyaka yonke.

Akunakuphikiswa, iVictoria Falls inkulu futhi iyamangalisa futhi kuthatha isikhathi ukuhamba indawo ukusuka ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni. Isimo sezulu siyashisa futhi asinamsindo, izindlela zinamadwala futhi azivikelekile (akukho njali zonogada), futhi ngaphandle kokuthi usesimweni esihle ngokomzimba, ukuvakashelwa kwesayithi kungashesha kusuka kokumangazayo kuye “ekuthuseni.”

Mhlawumbe indlela engcono kakhulu yokujabulela lolu hambo nombono - ngukuhlukanisa okuhehayo kube yizinsuku ezi-2 zokuzijabulisa bese uhlela indlela ozohamba ngayo ekuseni kakhulu - ngaphambi kokuba ilanga lifike esicongweni salo. Gqoka izingubo ezikahle kakhulu. Yize izikhindi, izikibha nezimbadada kwamukelekile, phakathi kwelanga, izindlela ezingagandayiwe nezimbungulu, amabhulukwe akhanyayo, isikibha esinemikhono emide namateku (anamasokisi) angenza umdlalo onethezeke kakhudlwana. Ungakhohlwa isigqoko, amanzi, i-sun screen, i-bug repellant nekhamera.

Silungele Ukuhamba

Unkulunkulu woMfula iZambezi, uNyami Nyami umoyizela eVictoria Falls. Ngisho nesihambi esingenangqondo kakhulu sizokucindezela kanzima ukukhononda ngale ndawo. Ngaphezu kwezimpophoma, ukuhamba ngezinyawo koMfula iZambezi kanye nokubona izilwane zasendle, izivakashi zingagxuma nge-bungee, zihlangabezane nomfula we-rafting, i-kayaking, nesikebhe, ulayini we-zip ngaphesheya komhosha, uthathe i-safari ebuyela emuva yezindlovu, uhambe namabhubesi futhi uhlangabezane nokuhamba ngendiza enophephela emhlane impophoma. Ngemininingwane eyengeziwe, Chofoza lapha.
