I-Amboseli National Park
Itholakala esifundeni esiseningizimu yeKenya, i-Amboseli National Park ime njengendawo edumile yokongiwa kwezilwane zasendle, iheha izivakashi ngokuhlukahluka kwayo okumangalisayo okucebile kanye nezindawo ezimangalisayo. Kuyikhaya lezilwane zasendle ezidumile, ezisingatha amalungu amane e-Big Five, kusukela kumabhubesi kuya kumadube anomusa, kanye nenani elingenakubalwa lezinhlobo zezinyoni emaxhaphozini nasezindaweni ezingamaxhaphozi.
Isendaweni engaba amahora amane ngemoto (240 km noma 150 miles) eningizimu-mpumalanga yeNairobi, i-Amboseli National Park yaziwa kakhulu ngemihlambi yayo yezindlovu ezinamazinyo amakhulu.
Ipaki yemvelo ngokwayo, i-Amboseli ifana nezinto ezimbili ezithile - imihlambi emikhulu yezindlovu kanye nemibono ekhazimulayo ye Mount Kilimanjaro ezweni elingumakhelwane iTanzania.
Ipaki kazwelonke yesibili edume kakhulu eKenya ngemuva kwe UMasai Mara I-National Reserve, i-Amboseli yamenyezelwa njenge-UNESCO-Mab Biosphere Reserve ngo-1991.
Phakathi nezimvula ezinkulu, umgodi omaphakathi nepaki ukhukhula, uheha izindimbane zezilwane zasendle. Lesi siqiwi siyindawo enhle kakhulu yokubuka i-Big Five, kanye nezinhlobo zezilwane zasendle ezaziwa kancane nezingavamile.
I-Amboseli ibungazwa ngamathuba ayo akhethekile okuhlangana eduze namalungu azulazula mahhala e-Big Five. Leli paki liyikhaya lezindlovu eziningi zase-Afrika, okudala ithuba elihle lokubuka eduze imihlambi yezindlovu efika emashumini amahlanu endaweni eyodwa, okuyenza ibe indawo ephambili yabo bobabili abathwebuli bezithombe nabathandi bezilwane zasendle.
Ubuhle bayo obuyingqayizivele busemakhonweni alo ayiqiniso futhi acebile amasiko amaMaasai okunikeza ulwazi lwe-safari olungasoze lwalibaleka ebuhleni bemvelo obukhuthazayo be-Mother Nature, okwenza kube indawo okufanele ivakashelwe yinoma ubani ofuna ukuzwa umlingo wasehlane laseKenya.
Ungafika Kanjani E-Amboseli National Park
Ngomgwaqo: Ipaki ifinyeleleka ngamasango e-Iremito, eKimana, naseMeshanani.
- Nge-Emali ukuya esangweni lase-Iremito emgwaqeni omkhulu waseNairobi-Mombasa. (204km) Kwa-Emali jikela kumgwaqo u-Emali-Loitokitok. Landela izimpawu eziya kwesokudla eziholela e-Amboseli nge-Iremito Gate.
- Noma, qhubeka ku-Loitokitok Road ukuya enxanxatheleni yezitolo yase-Kimana bese ulandela izimpawu eziya epaki ngeSango lase-Kimana.
- Nairobi – eNamanga udlula eSangweni iMeshanani (220km) umgwaqo ufakwe itiyela uze ufike eNamanga futhi uhube usuka eNamanga uye eSangweni laseMeshanani.

Ngomoya; Leli paki linendawo eyodwa yendiza enetiyela -inkundla yezindiza yaseKimana (ubude obuyi-1.2km) yendiza elula. Ezinye izikhumulo zezindiza zikhona e-Kilimanjaro Buffalo Lodge nasedolobheni laseNamanga.
Yini Ongayilindela
Umdlalo omkhulu nobuhle obuhle bemvelo lapho indawo igcwele khona iNtaba iKilimanjaro kanye namakhulu ezindlovu ezibuthana eduze kwamaxhaphozi kuwumbukwane. Ukubuka okungenakuqhathaniswa kweNtaba iKilimanjaro okuyintaba ephakeme kunazo zonke ezimele e-Afrika ephakama ngo-5,896m ngaphezu kogu lolwandle futhi isiqongo sayo esimbozwe yiqhwa sibusa umhlaba ngezinsuku ezicwathile ibonakala ekuseni nantambama okwenza kube ingemuva elihle lokuthwebula izilwane zasendle.
Ipaki ihlanganisa izindawo ezi-5 zezilwane zasendle eziyinhloko (i-Savanna grassland, i-acacia woodland, izihlahla zomunga ezinamatshe, amaxhaphozi kanye namaxhaphozi) futhi ihlanganisa ingxenye yechibi le-Pleistocene. Ngaphakathi kwalesi sigodi kunechibi lesikhashana i-Amboseli eligcwala izikhukhula ngezikhathi zezimvula ezinamandla ngaleyo ndlela lihehe ama-flamingo. Ichibi libonakala ngamanzi ane-alkaline kakhulu kodwa ngokuvamile lomile kakhulu futhi libe nothuli ngesikhathi sokushisa nesomiso, isimo sezulu esibonisa indawo ye-Amboseli ecosystem cishe unyaka. Leli chibi lisoGwadule LwaseNyiri olunwebeka lubheke emngceleni oseningizimu yeKenya kanye neTanzania elihlanganisa i-Amboseli National Park.
Imithombo yamanzi ehambisana neNtaba iKilimanjaro yenza kube namaxhaphozi amaningana epaki isib. Ixhaphozi i-Enkong Narok namanye amaxhaphozi ahlala njalo abalulekile ezilwaneni zasendle endaweni ye-Amboseli ecosystem.
Isikhathi Esingcono kakhulu Sokuvakasha
Isizini Ephakeme / Ephakeme: NgoJuni kuya ku-Okthoba
- Isikhathi esingcono kakhulu sokubuka izilwane zasendle – utshani bufushane okwenza izilwane zibonakale kalula futhi azisuki kude nemithombo yamanzi.
- Ilanga kakhulu linemvula encane kakhulu.
- Amanani aphezulu futhi ipaki ingaba matasa kakhulu.
Isizini ephansi / eluhlaza: Novemba kuya kuMeyi
- Izimvula ezimfishane ziba ngoNovemba, nezimvula ezinde ngo-Ephreli noMeyi.
- I-Scenically i-Amboseli isezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu - isikhathi esihle kakhulu sokuthatha izithombe.
- Isikhathi esingcono kakhulu sokuvakashela ukuyobuka izinyoni.
- Ukubuka okuhle kakhulu kwe-Kilimanjaro - isibhakabhaka sigcwele uthuli.
- Amanani aphansi futhi ipaki lithule ngenxa yezimo zomgwaqo ezimanzi (cishe ngo-April noMeyi).
