Iyaziwa ngokugqithiseleyo ngeenkomo zayo ezinkulu zeendlovu kunye neenkunzi; kwaye ininzi imvukazi yabantu abahlala kuyo. I-Lion nayo iqhelekileyo, kwaye iSouth Luangwa idlalwa njengenye yezona ndawo zibalaseleyo eMzantsi Afrika ukuba zibonwe ingwe engapheliyo. Kukho okungaphezulu kweSouth Luangwa kunezo zixhobo ze-safari, nangona kunjalo. Kwakhona ikhaya leenja zasendle zase-Afrika ezinobungozi, iintlobo ezili-14 ze-antelope kunye ne-subspecies ezikhoyo eziquka i-shrif Thornsroft kunye ne-crawshay idiza.

Inyoni eMzantsi Luangwa

Ipaki nayo iyaziwa ngokukhethekileyo njengendawo yokuhamba . Iintlobo ezingama-400 zeevian (ngaphezu kwesigamu sazo zibhalwe eZambia) ziye zaphawulwa ngaphakathi kwemida yazo. Kanye kunye neentaka eziqhelekileyo zaseMzantsi neMpuma Afrika, ipaki inikezela indawo yokuphumla abafudukayo bexesha elide ukusuka eYurophu naseAsia.

Amaphuzu aphambili afaka iskrini esasisongelayo saseAfrika; i-owl yokuloba i-Pel kunye neenkomo ezinkulu ze-ruby-colored zase-Southern carmine ezidliwayo.

Imisebenzi kwiPaki

I-South Luangwa National Park ibhekwa njengendawo yokuzalwa yokuhamba i-safari, eyaqala ukusetyenziswa ngabaqhubi be-safari be-iconic njengoNorman Carr noRobin Pope. Ngoku, phantse yonke indawo yokulala kunye nekampu epakini inika eli liva elihle, elikuvumela ukuba usondele kufuphi nezilwanyana zasendle ngendlela engenakwenzeka kwisithuthi. Ukuhamba ngeentlambo ezinqabileyo zentlambo kwinqanaba lithetha ukuba unayo ixesha lokuyeka nokuxabisa izinto ezincinci - ezivela kwiinambuzane ezingaphandle, ukuya kwizilwanyana zezilwanyana kunye nezityalo ezingaqhelekanga. Ukuhamba i-safaris kunokuhlala kwindawo ethile ukusuka kwiiyure ezimbalwa ukuya kwiintsuku eziliqela, kwaye zihlala zihamba kunye ne-scout yezixhobo kunye nekhokelo zengcali.

Umqhubi wemidlalo yemveli nawo uyathandwa, kwaye zonke iindwendwe kufuneka zibheke ubuncinane ubusuku obunye . Emva kobumnyama, isilwanyana esiluhlukileyo sahlukileyo siphumelela ukudlala, esukela kwiindawo ezinobungqina ezihlambulukileyo ukuya kwikosi engabonakaliyo yobusuku, ingwe. Iingcali ezihamba ngeendlela ezithandwayo ziyaziwayo kwixesha elihlaza (ukususela ngoNovemba ukuya kuFebhuwari), xa ubuninzi bezinambuzane eziveliswa yimvula yehlobo zikhawulela ikhulu leentlobo ezivela kwiindawo ezifudukayo. Ihlobo libuye libe lixesha eliphambili lokuhamba ngesikebhe safaris - indlela enokuzenzekelayo yokugcina inyoni kunye nezilwanyana zasendle ezihlanganisela emanzini ukusela, nokubukela amavubu kunye neengwenya ezenza ubuninzi bezinga eliphezulu zamanzi.

Uhlala phi

Naluphi na ukhetho lwakho okanye uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali, iindwendwe kwiSouth Luangwa National Park zichithwa ngokuzikhethela ngokweendawo zokuhlala. Uninzi lweendawo zokulala kunye neenkampu zisekupheleni kweMlambo iLuangwa, zinika imibono ephawulekayo yamanzi (kunye nezilwanyana eziza khona ukusela). Ezinye zeenkampu ezifanelekileyo zibandakanya abo baqhutywe nguovulindlela baseMzantsi Afrika uRobin Pope Safaris noNorman Carr Safaris. Inkampani yangaphambili inezinketho zokuhlala ezintandathu ezinokuzondla kwindawo okanye kufuphi nepaki, kubandakanywa inkampu enkulu enentente iTena Tena kunye neLuangwa Safari House yangasese. I-jewel kwipotfoliyo yaseNorman Carr yiChinzombo, ikampu ekhangelekayo enezakhiwo ezinama-villas ayisithupha kunye nedama elingaphansi komlambo.

I-Flatdogs Camp (kunye neentlanzi zayo ezikhethwe kakuhle, iintente ze-safari kunye no-Jackalberry Treehouse kuphela) zikhethwa ngabantu abafuna ukufumana into encinci.

Abo bahlahlo-lwabiwo-mali bafanele baqwalasele ukuhlala kwi-Marula Lodge, inketho yokuhlala kwindawo enobungqina obuhle emva kwemizuzu emihlanu ukusuka esangweni eliphambili lepaki. Izinketho zegumbi zivela kwiintente ezisigxina kunye neendlwana ezabelwana ngazo kwii-chalets ezinokuthengwa ngexabiso, ngelixa i-rate yebhodi epheleleyo yokuzikhethela iquka zonke ukutya kunye neefarasi ezimbini ngosuku olupheleleyo. Ngenye indlela, unako ukugcina imali ngokwenza uninzi lwekhishi lokuzigcina endaweni yokutya.

Nini ukuya

I-South Luangwa National Park iyindawo ehamba kuyo yonke indawo kunye nenzuzo kunye nexesha elifanelekileyo lexesha. Ngokuqhelekileyo, iinyanga zasebusika ezomileyo (ngoMeyi ukuya kuOktobha) zibhekwa njengexesha elifanelekileyo lokubukela umdlalo, kuba izilwanyana zibuthela emlanjeni kunye nemithombo yamanzi kwaye ngoko kulula ukubona. Amaqondo okushisa emini afudumele kwaye ayamnandi ukuhamba nge-safaris; ngelixa iintsholongwane zincinane. Nangona kunjalo, ixesha elivuthayo lasehlobo (ngoNovemba ukuya ku-Epreli) linalo inzuzo eninzi kulabo abangenakucinga ukushisa okuphezulu kunye nesantya semvula. I-Birdlife ilungile ngeli xesha lonyaka, indawo yepaki iluhlaza kwaye ixabiso lihlala libiza.

Qaphela: I- Malaria iyingozi kulo nyaka, kodwa ngokukodwa ehlobo. Qinisekisa ukuthatha amanyathelo okukhusela isifo, kubandakanya ukuthatha i-anti-malaria prophylactics.

Ukufika apho

Isiza-moya esiseduze kwiSouth Luangwa National Park yiMfuwe Airport (MFU), isango elincinci elisemakhaya kunye neenqwelo ezinxulumene neLusaka, Livingstone naseLilongwe. Ininzi iindwendwe zibaleka kwiMfuwe, apho ziqokelelwa ngummeli kwi-lodge okanye ekampini ye-30 ngomzuzu wokuqhuba ipaki ngokwayo. Kwakhona kunokwenzeka ukuba ufike epakini ngokuqesha imoto, okanye nangothutho loluntu. Ngaloo mva, thabatha i-minibus mini ukusuka kwisixeko saseCaphuata ukuya kwisixeko saseMfuwe uze udibanise nokuthunyelwa kwakho kwindawo yokuhlala.
