Te Piki Kilimanjaro Me te Nohoa Wira

E 5,895 mita te teitei o Kilimanjaro. He toka te ara i ētahi wāhi, he onepū i ētahi atu, ā, kei te tihi te haurua o te hāora e manawahia ana e koe i te taumata moana. Kāore tētahi o ēnā e ngaro nā te mea kei te piki tetahi i runga i te tūru wīra. Ko ngā mea e rerekē ana ko te whakamahere, te rahi o te tīma, ngā taputapu, me te kōwhiringa huarahi.

ko matou Kiwoito Africa Safaris, kei Arusha. Ka whakahaerehia e mātou ngā pikinga Kilimanjaro i ia marama o te tau ka taea te piki, ā, ka tautoko mātou i ngā kaipiki urutau ina rite te whakaaetanga hauora, ngā whāinga a te kaipiki, me te kaha o tā mātou tīma. Kua tuhia tēnei whārangi mō te hunga e tino rangahau ana i te pikinga Kilimanjaro tūru wīra. Kāore mātou e hoko nui rawa atu. Ka kōrero atu mātou ki a koe he aha te mea pono, he aha te utu mō te wā me te kaha, me te wāhi e mutu ai ngā pikinga urutau i runga i te maunga.

Ki te pānuihia e koe tae noa ki te mutunga, ā, ka whakatau koe kāore i te tika, he hua pai anō hoki tēnā. Ki te whakatau koe he tika, ka pono mātou ki a koe i roto i ia wāhanga o te whakamahere.

He Tino Taea te Piki i Kilimanjaro i runga i te Tūru Wiira?

Whakautu poto: āe, me ngā tohu mātauranga nui.

He tokoiti noa iho ngā tāngata e whakamahi ana i ngā tūru wīra kua tae ki te tihi o Uhuru, te tihi tuturu o Kilimanjaro, mai i te tīmatanga o te tau 2000. Ko te tauira tino rongonui ko Bernard Goosen o Āwherika ki te Tonga, nāna i eke ki te tihi e rua ngā wā. Mai i taua wā, kua maha atu ngā pikinga urutau, tae atu ki ngā kaipiki e whakamahi ana i ngā tūru wīra maunga motuhake, ngā pahikara ā-ringa, me ngā tūru hikoi wira kotahi tautokona e te rōpū.

Ko te mea e taea ai ēnei pikinga he mea noa iho nā te tūru wīra tonu. Ko te tīma. Ko te nuinga o ngā pikinga Kilimanjaro e whakamahia ana e te waru ki te tekau mā rua ngā kaiamo mō ia kaiamo, kaua ki te toru ki te whā noa, me te kaiārahi matua, te kaiāwhina kaiamo, me te nuinga o te wā he tohunga hauora. Ka tautokona te kaiamo i ngā wāhanga tino pari, he mea hanga motuhake ngā taputapu mō te whenua, ā, ka taea e te kaupapa te tuku i ētahi atu rā hei whakangāwari i te taiao.

Ehara tēnei i te haerenga ka rēhita koe ki te ipurangi, ā, ka tae mai i roto i ngā marama e toru. Ko te nuinga o ngā pikinga urutau e tautokona ana e mātou, e ono ki te tekau mā rua marama te roa o te whakamahere, te whakangungu, me te whakakorikori i mua i te taenga mai o te kaipiki ki Tanzania.

Mā wai tēnei pikinga

Kua mahi tahi mātou me ngā kaipiki maunga, ā, kei a rātou ēnei āhuatanga:

• te pararutiki o ngā peka o raro, tae atu ki te paraplegia
• Ngā tapahi waewae kotahi, takirua rānei
• Ngā whara o te taurakira me te pupuri i te mahi o te tinana o runga
• Te pararutiki roro me ngā herenga nekenekehanga
• Kua ora mai i te whara nui engari he herenga hikoi tuturu
• Ngā mate uaua e kore ai e taea te hikoi tawhiti

Kua whakakahoretia hoki e mātou ngā kaipiki maunga, ā, he mea nui tēnei kia whakahuatia. Kāore mātou e tango i tētahi kaipiki kāore anō kia hainatia e tōna tākuta e rongoā ana te whakaaetanga mō te piki. Kāore mātou e tango i tētahi e kore e haumaru te teitei nā te āhua o tōna manawa me ōna pūkahukahu. Kāore mātou e tango i tētahi kaipiki maunga e nui ake ana ōna hiahia hauora i tā te tīma maunga tawhiti e taea te whakahaere. Ehara ēnei i te kaupapa here hei whakararu i a koe. Kei te noho tonu ēnei kaupapa here nā te mea kāore he huarahi whakawātea i Kilimanjaro i runga ake i te 3,000 mita i te nuinga o ngā huarahi, ā, ko te whakatau haumaru i ētahi wā ko te mea uaua.

Mena he tākuta kei a koe e rongoā ana, kua oti i a koe te aromatawai i te ngākau me te manawa, ā, e mārama pono ana koe ki tō manawanui, ko koe tētahi tangata ka taea e mātou te mahi tahi me koe.

Ko tēhea Ara e Pai Ana mō ngā Piki Whakarerekē

E whitu ngā ara kua whakapūmauhia ki runga i a Kilimanjaro. E rua o aua ara e tino pai ana mō te piki urutau, ā, ko te kōwhiringa i waenga i aua ara kei te kaipiki.

Marangu Route

Ko Marangu anake te ara i runga i te maunga he whare noho, ehara i te tēneti. E toru ngā whare whare (Mandara, Horombo, me Kibo) me ngā moenga papa rua, ngā whare kai, me ngā wharepaku o roto. Mō te hunga piki wīra, ka whakakorea e te kōwhiringa whare te uaua o ia rā ki te tomo me te puta i te tēneti i runga i te whenua papatahi.

Ko te ara tonu te mea tino tiakina i runga i te maunga. Ko ngā rā tuatahi e rua ka whai i tētahi ara whānui, whakarārangihia i roto i ngā ngahere ua me ngā whenua māra. Ko te ngoikoretanga ko te āhua piki. Ka hikoi a Marangu i runga, i raro i te ara kotahi, he iti ake te taunga ki te rangi i ērā atu ara, ā, he iti ake te angitu o te piki i te tihi whānui.

Mō te nuinga o ngā kaipiki maunga urutau, ka tūtohu mātou kia eke ki Marangu mō ngā rā e ono, kaua mō ngā rā e rima noa. Ko te rā tāpiri ka pau ki Horombo (3,720 m) hei whakangāwari i a rātou anō.

Rongai Route

Ka whakatata atu a Rongai ki Kilimanjaro mai i te raki, e tata ana ki te rohe o Kenya. He maroke ake te whenua i ngā huarahi tonga, he maeneene ake te ara, ā, he ngāwari te haere i ia rā. Kāore he whare, nō reira kei roto i ngā tēneti te wāhi noho, ko te tikanga he rite tonu ngā whakaritenga moe a te tīma.

He marino ake a Rongai i a Marangu. Nā reira, he pai ake ki ētahi kaipiki urutau. Ko te ngoikoretanga ko ngā mahi kawe waka. He roa ake te haerenga ki te tīmatanga o te ara (tata ki te whā hāora mai i Moshi), ā, he uaua ake te rere o ngā taonga.

I te nuinga o te wā ka whakahaerehia e mātou a Rongai mō ngā pikinga urutau i roto i ngā rā e whitu.

Ngā Ara Kāore Mātou e Tūtohu mō te Piki Tūru Wira

Machame, Lemosho, Umbwe, me te Northern Circuit kei roto ko te Taiepa Barranco, ngā papa whenua, me ngā wāhanga huarahi e taea ana e te hangarau engari he tino uaua ki te tautoko i te tūru wīra. Kua kite mātou i ngā kaiwhakahaere e tuku ana i ēnei ki ngā kiritaki urutau. Kāore mātou e pena. Ko te kōtaha mōrearea me te kawenga a te kaikawe e hiahiatia ana ehara i te mea e pai ana mātou ki te tango.

Te Āhua o te Piki i ia Rā, i ia Rā

Hei tauira, ka whakamahia e mātou he pikinga urutau mō Marangu mō ngā rā e ono, nā te mea koinei te hanganga tino noa.

Te rā i mua i te pikinga. Ka tae koe ki te hōtēra i Moshi, i Arusha rānei. Ka tirohia e mātou ngā taputapu katoa, ka tūtaki ki te kaiārahi matua me te kaitiaki matua, ka paunatia ngā utanga, ā, ka whakahaerehia he arotake hauora whakamutunga. Mena kei te tata tetahi mea i roto i te arotake hauora, ka matapakihia e mātou me haere tonu, me whakarerekē te mahere, me whakaroa rānei.

Day 1. Mai i te Kūaha o Marangu (1,860 m) ki te Whare o Mandara (2,700 m). Tata ki te 8 kiromita te tawhiti. E rima ki te whitu hāora te roa o te ara mō ngā kaipiki urutau, ā, e toru, e whā rānei hāora mō te rōpū hikoi. He marumaru te wāhanga ngahere, ā, he paku te pikinga. He pai te nuinga o tēnei rā mō te kaipiki.

Day 2. Mai i Mandara ki Horombo Hut (3,720 m). Tata ki te 12 kiromita te tawhiti. Ka huri te ngahere ki te whenua māra. Koinei te wāhi ka tīmata te hiranga o te teitei. Ka aroturukihia e mātou te mākū o te hāora i te ata me te ahiahi mai i tēnei wāhi.

Day 3. He rā whakangāwari i Horombo. He hikoi māmā, he arotahi ki te wai, he moe. Kāore e taea te whakarerekē i tēnei rā mō ngā pikinga urutau.

Day 4. Mai i Horombo ki Kibo Hut (4,700 m). Ko te rā roa rawa atu tēnei tae noa mai ki tēnei wā. Ka whiti te ara i te nohoanga hoiho, he koraha maunga teitei, kāore he piringa mai i te hau. He puhoi, he ātaahua hoki te tere.

Day 5. Te ngana ki te piki i te tihi. Mai i Kibo ki te tihi o Uhuru (5,895 m), kātahi ka heke iho ki Horombo. Koinei te rā e tino uaua ai te whakatau mō ngā pikinga urutau. Ka tīmata te pikinga i te tihi o te maunga i waenganui pō. Ka taea e te pāmahana te heke ki te -15 Celsius. He toka, he tuwhera hoki te rohe whakamutunga mai i Gilman's Point ki Uhuru.

Ka kōrero mātou ki ngā kaipiki piki katoa i te mea kotahi. Ko te maunga te whakatau. Mā tō rōpū koe e kawe ki te teitei e taea ai e koe te piki. Ki ētahi kaipiki, ko Gilman's Point (5,681 m) tērā, he tihi Kilimanjaro e mōhiotia ana, ā, e whiwhi ana i te tiwhikete matomato mai i te mana whakahaere o te pāka. Ki ētahi, ko Stella Point (5,756 m). Ki ētahi, ko Uhuru Peak. He tihi tūturu ēnei e toru, ā, he tika kia whakanuia.

Day 6. Mai i Horombo ki Marangu Gate. He rā roa e heke ana. Kia tae ki te mutunga ka hoki koe ki tētahi hōtēra me te kaukau wera me te kai tino pai.

Ngā Taputapu e Whakamahia ana e Mātou

Ko te rārangi taputapu mō te pikinga urutau te wāhanga e hē ai te nuinga o ngā kaiwhakahaere. Ka mahi mātou me ngā tūru hikoi maunga i hangaia mō te whakamahi i waho o te rori. Ko te tauira motuhake ka whakawhirinaki ki te tinana o te kaipiki, ki tōna āhua, me te huarahi.

Mō ngā kaipiki e taea ana te neke me te kaha o te tinana o runga, ka whakamahia e mātou he tūru hikoi wira kotahi me ngā tīma tōia o mua me muri. He pai te mahi a tēnei whakaritenga i te ara matua o Marangu me ngā wāhanga o raro o Rongai.

Mō ngā kaipiki kāore e taea te neke, ka whakamahia e mātou he tūru urutau wira-whā pakari ake me te pūnaha nohoanga ritenga. Ko te taurite ko te taumaha: ko te tūru me te kaipiki he nui ake ngā kaikawe, he nui ake te wahie, he nui ake te kai, ā, he nui ake te utu whānui.

Haunga te tūru, kei a mātou:

• He ine pūoro mō te aroturuki i ia rā
• He pūnaha hāora kawe mō te whakamahi i runga ake i te 4,000 mita
• He putea pēhanga teitei (pute Gamow) mō ngā āhuatanga ohorere teitei
• He kete āwhina tuatahi maunga me ngā rongoā teitei kua tohua e te mema o te tīma kua whakangungua.
• Ngā taputapu whakawhitiwhiti kōrero amiorangi mō te whakaritenga whakawātea
• He whāriki moe ritenga me te pūnaha pēke moe whakamahana kua whakatauria mō te -20 Celsius
• Ngā wira tārua, ngā toki, me ngā wāhanga tūru

Ia pikinga urutau ka wehe atu i Arusha me tētahi mahere whakakorenga tuhituhi kua arotakehia tahitia me te kaipiki, te hoapā ohorere a te kaipiki, me te kaiwhakarato inihua a te kaipiki.

Te Utu

He nui ake te utu mō ngā pikinga Kilimanjaro urutau i ngā pikinga paerewa. Kāore he huarahi hei karo i tēnei, ā, e hiahia ana mātou kia mārama, kaua e pōhēhē.

Ko te tīma te kaitaraiwa utu. E toru ki te whā ngā kaiamo mō ia piki i te pikinga Marangu mō ngā rā e ono. E waru ki te tekau mā rua ngā kaiamo mō ia piki i te pikinga urutau. Ka kawea mai e ia kaiamo tāpiri ā rātou ake utu whakauru ki te pāka, utu, kai, wāhi noho, taputapu, me te inihua. Ko te tūru tonu, te hāora, me te kete hauora motuhake ka tāpiri atu i te utu.

Hei tauira, ko te pikinga Kilimanjaro whakarerekē i te tau 2026 ka taka ki te toru ki te whā ngā wā o te utu o tētahi pikinga paerewa rite tonu i runga i te ara kotahi. Ka hoatu e mātou he utu tika ina mōhio mātou ki te āhua o te kaipiki, te ara i whiriwhiria, ngā rā haerenga, me ngā hoa haere katoa e uru atu ana ki te pikinga.

Kāore mātou e tāpiri i ēnei utu. Ki te whakaritea e koe tā mātou ki tētahi kaiwhakataetae, ā, he iti ake te utu o te kaiwhakataetae, pātai atu ki a rātou e hia ngā kaikawe e tahua ana, he aha te pūnaha hāora e mau ana i a rātou, me te mea kua oma rātou i tētahi pikinga urutau i mua. Ko aua pātai e toru te tikanga e whakamārama ana i te rerekētanga.

Te Wā Pai o te Tau mō te Piki Urutau

Ko ngā wā piki maunga o Kilimanjaro ko:

• Mai i Hānuere ki te tīmatanga o Poutū-te-rangi: he mahana ngā rā, he makariri ngā pō, he mārama te rangi. He pai te tirohanga mai i te tihi.
• Hune ki Oketopa: te wā maroke roa. He rangi pumau, he rangi e taea te matapae. Ko te matapihi piki maunga rongonui tēnei.

Ka karohia e mātou ngā ua roa (waenganui o Poutū-te-rangi ki Mei) mō ngā pikinga urutau nā te mea ka nui ake te mahi a te tūru i ngā ara mākū, ā, ka nui ake te mōrearea ki ngā wāhanga whenua mania. Ka karohia hoki e mātou ngā ua poto i te marama o Whiringa-ā-rangi nā te mea ka kore e taea te matapae i ngā awha o te ahiahi.

O ngā matapihi e rua e taunakitia ana, ko te mutunga o Hānuere me Pēpuere he marino ake, he mahana ake hoki i te teitei. He pukumahi ake i Hune ki Hepetema engari he maroke ake. Ka pai te mahi a ngā mea e rua.

Te Whakangungu me te Whakarite i mua i tō Taenga Mai

Ka tono mātou ki ngā kaipiki piki urutau katoa kia whakaoti i tētahi kaupapa whakarite kua whakaritea i mua i te rere ki Tanzania. Ehara tēnei i te mea whiriwhiri. Ka utua e te maunga te whakarite, ka whiua hoki ngā ara poto.

Ko te tikanga kei roto i te kaupapa:

• Te whakapakari i te ngākau me te ngākau e tika ana mō te āhua o te kaipiki, ko te tumanako kia toru ki te rima ngā wā whakangungu i te wiki mō te iti rawa e whā marama.
• Ko te whakangungu kaha o te tinana o runga e arotahi ana ki ngā rōpū uaua e whakamahia ana i roto i te pana me te whakawhiti tūru
• Te pānga ki te makariri mēnā kei te haere mai te kaipiki i tētahi āhuarangi mahana
• Te mōhio ki te teitei o te maunga mēnā ka taea (he maha ngā rā e noho ana i te 2,500 mita, neke atu rānei, i ngā marama i mua i te pikinga)
• Te whakahaere i te wai, nā te mea he maha ngā wā ka pāngia ngā kaipiki maunga e te matewai.
• He arotake katoa mō te hototahitanga o ngā taputapu ki te pūnaha tūru wīra me te nohoanga o te kaipiki maunga i te kāinga.

Ka tohaina e mātou he mahere whakangungu taipitopito ki ia kaipiki piki kua whakaūtia kua taea te urutau, ā, ka tirohia e mātou ia marama i mua i te pikinga.

Ngā Mea e Hiahiatia ana e Mātou Mai i a Koe hei Whakarite i te Piki

Mena kei te tino whakaaroaro koe ki tēnei, anei ngā mea hei tuku mai māu i roto i tō īmēra tuatahi:

• Te tau, te taumaha, me te āhua matua o te kaipiki
• He whakarāpopototanga poto o te nekenekehanga (te kaha whakawhiti, te kaha o te tinana o runga, te kare ā-roto, ngā whakaaro mō te pupuri i te mimi)
• Te hītori hauora o te ngākau, o te pūkahukahu, o ngā wā tata nei rānei
• Ngā taipitopito whakapā a te tākuta e rongoā ana, me te whakaaetanga kia kōrero mātou ki a rātou
• Ngā rā whainga tata me ngā āheinga huri noa i aua rā
• Te rahi o te rōpū haere (ngā kaipiki maunga, te whānau, ngā kaitautoko)
• Ngā wheako teitei o mua

Ka arotakehia e mātou, ā, ka hoki mai anō me tētahi aromatawai tūturu, he huarahi kua tūtohutia, he roa kua tūtohutia, me tētahi whakatau utu.
