Iingcali zeendlela zokuhamba zichaza indlela yokuhamba ngokuqhubekayo kunye nenjongo.
NgoDisemba 2015, i-OhThePeopleYouMeet yacelwa ukuba ijongise indawo ye-About.com ye-Travel Sustainable site-enye yezihloko esithandayo. Ngenyanga nganye, siyakulinganisa ezinye iingcali eziphezulu kwithuba. Izihloko esizibandakanya kwiinkalo ezixhasayo ngokusisigxina kuluntu apho u tyelela khona, ihotele eco-chic hotele, ukulondolozwa kwezilwanyana zasendle kunye nobunzima obunzima kakhulu ukubetha izihloko ezifana nokuthengiswa kwabantu.
Nangona ndizinikezele ukwenza uphando lwam ngaphambi kokuba ndihambe kwaye ndizama ukwenza izigqibo ezizinzileyo kunye nezixanduva ngokubhekiselele ekuhambeni kwam, nangona mna, umhambi onobuchule osebenzayo kumashishini okuhamba kunye namajelo, uye wenza iimpazamo ezingenacala apha endleleni.
Emuva ngo-2014, iqela lethu lokuvelisa i-video kunye nathi saqeshwa kwifilimu eZimbabwe naseBotswana ukudala amavidiyo amalungiselelo ahleliweyo kwiindawo, kunye nezixhobo zorhwebo zomqhubi we-Safari obizwa ngokuba yi-African Bush Camps- sizzle reel. Ukukhula eSt. Louis, eMissouri, andinalo ithuba lokukwazi abaninzi kakhulu kwi-BIG ye-5 ngegama, kodwa kulo luhambo oluthile, ndaziswa kwiCecil iNgonyama kunye neqabane lakhe, iYeriko.
Ngo-Ephreli ka-2015, iinyanga ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba iindaba zehlabathi ziqhekeke malunga neCecil idutshulwa ngudokotela wamazinyo wase-USA, kwaye ngaphantsi komnyaka ukususela ekubeni ndikwazi isilwanyana, ndamenywa ukuba ndihambe kunye neengonyama.
Njengomntu ochithe ixesha elide kwi-safaris kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, oku kubonakala ngathi kungumsebenzi ondiluncedo kum, kodwa ke ndidibene ngokuya kutyelela kuba kwakukho isikhungo sophando esafumanisa i-genetic (i-white) iingonyama.
Nokuba ndiyinqaba ukuyivuma, inkunzi yokuqala yengonyama ebhujimayo yandiba phezu kwam yayiyinto emnandi.
Njengoko kwakunamabhabhu amabini ahamba ngeenxa zonke (nceda uqaphele ukuba ama-tigers afaka iAsia, kungekhona iAfrika). Ndifumene loo mntu kwiziko lophando ukuba azikhuselele kodwa ndamnyamekela kwaye ndabambana ne-cub cubs. Kancinane kamva basithatha ukuba sihambe kunye neengonyama "ezintsheni". Njengoko sasihambahamba ndaqala ukubuza imibuzo malunga nokuba bangaphi na kwaye kutheni babekho kwikheji elincinci. Ndiyathetha ukuba ezi zizilwanyana ezinkulu ezihlanganisa indawo enzulu. Kwaye xa ndabuza into eyenzekayo xa iingonyama zikhulu kakhulu ukuhamba nazo, ndadibana nezinye izimpendulo ezingacacileyo kwaye ndaxelelwa ukuba zithunyelwe kwiifama zolondolozo. Hmmm ...
Kamva ngalobo busuku, ndathumela isithombe kwiimboniselo zentlalo endidlala nayo enye yeengonyama zeengonyama. WOWU! Impendulo yayisondeza. Isiqingatha sabantu BATHANDA umntwana wengonyama (c'mon, uyathandeka) kwaye omnye u-50% wandixelela ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba ndiyindlalifa yezilwanyana. Oku kwakubonakala kunzima kakhulu, kodwa ndaqala ukuphosa ngokukhawuleza.
Nangona ndifumana isigwebo esingcono, ndizama ukubhala intatheli kwaye ndibonise ngamacala omabini, ndiqalise isiKhokelo sethu sokuQala kwexesha lokuqala kwi-Afrika yaseMzantsi Afrika ekuboniseni indlela isikhungo sophando esinikele ngayo ibali labo kunye neembono ezahlukeneyo malunga nendlela ukuhamba ngeengonyama kubangele ukuba kubakho iifama zokuzingela .
Maye masithi nje, ndifumana i-mail enenzondo evela e-Afrika. Emva koko umzingeli (udokotela wamazinyo wase-USA) wadubula uCecil. Ngoku, ngelixa andingabi ngumqhubi omkhulu wokuzingela, ngokukodwa i-BIG 5, kufuneka ndithi, ndandiziva ndiba nesisa sobuzinyo bamazinyo. Ekuziphenduleleni kwakhe, waqesha into ayicinga ukuba yinkampani yokuzingela ehloniphekileyo yokumkhokelela kwaye ihlawule imali efanelekileyo yeenkonzo zayo.
Ezi "khokelo" zathatha umzingeli kwindawo engekho mthethweni, apho uCecil, enye yeengonyama ezimbini eyaziwa ngamagama, wadibana nokufa kwakhe ngokungenangqondo.
Ngoko ukuba ndizithiyile i-imeyile ngaphambili, ngoku ndandifumene. Andizange ndikhethile kodwa ukuvuma ukuba nangona ukuhamba kunye neengonyama zengonyama, kwakungekho nto enoxanduva okanye enzileyo. Ngokukhawuleza sithatha ividiyo yethu yasekuqaleni ebonisa amacala omabini ekuhamba ngeengonyama phantsi kuzo zonke iifayili zethu zeendaba, siyibuyisela kwakhona kwaye sisasazwa ngaphandle kokubonisa eli liva.
Kwaye ngoncedo lwabahlobo bezakhono kwi-shishini, ekubeni lilungu leendaba le-Adventure Travel Trade Association, sakhupha isitatimende seengonyama esisemthethweni.
Ndimisela lo mzekelo njengenye yeengqungquthela ezininzi zokuba abahamba ngeyona ndlela bahamba phambili banokuhamba ngqo. Sonke senza iimpazamo, kodwa kufike kuwe, ukwenza umsebenzi wakho wesikolo kwangaphambili kwaye ubuze imibuzo efanelekileyo. Ukuphendula uxanduva lomntu kubaluleke kakhulu. Kungenxa yokuba i-NGO ayithethi ukuba isebenza ngokuzinzileyo. Ycinge. Masithi uhlala e-Siem Reap, eCambodia, u tyelela iitempile zamatyeki kwaye uyamenywa ngokucula abantwana kwiinkedama. OMG bayamkeleka, bambambe isandla sam, kwaye bethandeka kakhulu ngesithombeni!
O kwaye ujonge iimeko ezihlala kuzo, ngokuqinisekileyo ufuna ukukunceda. HIT BUTTON. Ukuba aba bantwana bahlala kwintandane, kutheni bahamba behamba bezitrato kwaye bangabi esikolweni phakathi emini? Makhe sitsho nokuba le nto yinkqubo yezintandane ezisebenzayo, ngokunika imali le ntwana ayikho into ebangela ukuba uqoqosho olucebileyo lukhuthaze ukukhuthaza abantwana ukuba bafumane imfundo ekuncedeni ukuphelisa umjikelezo wehlwempu? Ngelixa ndisebenza kwividiyo efundisa malunga nendlela yokuba ngumhambi onoxanduva kwiindawo ezinjengeCambodia, okwangoku, ndincoma ukufunda ingxelo ye-UNICEF ngemeko yezemfundo eCambodia kunye neencwadi zika-Elizabeth Becker zokukhupha iingcamango kwindawo eya kuyo.
Ndiyazi, kunzima, abantwana abancinci kunye neengonyama zabantwana. Ndiye ndiwa ngenxa yalo kwaye ndiye ndafumanisa impembelelo yokuba izigqibo zam zinabo kubantu, iindawo kunye nezilwanyana endizimisele ukubanceda.
Ngoko ndacela ezinye iingcali entsimini, endibacebisana ngaso rhoqo ukuba ndixelele iinkcazo zabo zendlela i-SustainableTravel ithetha ngayo. Okokuqala, uShannon Stowell, uMongameli we-Adventure Travel Trade Association, oye wandinceda ukuba ndiqeqeshe ngamanzi amaninzi amaninzi, kuquka inkcenkceshe yengonyama ka-2015. U-Amy Merrill, uMququzeleli wohambo, obanikeze ingqiqo enkulu kunye nokwazisa kwezinye nemingeni ejongene neCambodia. UGilad Goren, endikuvuyela ukusebenza kwiThutho + yeNtlalo yeNtlalo kunye neminyaka emine edlulileyo. Kwaye uDaniela Papi Thornton, ongabonanga nje kuphela imingeni ejongene neendawo zehlabathi ezithathu ezifana neCambodia ukuba ndisebenza kwividiyo ye-docu-series, kodwa ngubani onomxholo othile wevidiyo, onokubanceda abahamba ngeendlela zokuba xanduva. Nceda ufumane ezi nkcazo zengcali ezithembekileyo zendlela yokuThuthuka okuKhuselekileyo kunye nokwenza inxaxheba yakho ukwenza uhlobo oluhle.
# 1 UShannon Stowell: "Ukuhamba okusisigxina kukunceda, kungekhona ukulimaza. Ngokuphathelele uhambo olujolise ekukhuseleni indawo kunye nabantu abaxhunyiwe kwindawo ekuya kuyo.Ku malunga nokunciphisa ukunyathela kweenyawo kodwa ukwandisa ukubuyisela okuprintwe ngesandla. Akukho zimpumelelo kwiindwendwe ezizinzileyo-kuphela ezikwindlela eziphumelelayo ! Yinkqubo. "
# 2 Amy Merrill: "Ndichaza ukuhamba okuzinzileyo nge-lens yesigxina esilandelayo: abantu, iplanethi, inzuzo. Xa unokuhamba kwaye wenze okuhle kubo bonke abathathu, uhambo lwakho aluyiyo. Ulendo sidibanisa uhambo oluzinzileyo kunye neeprojekthi ezintle zoluntu kunye neempembelelo ezichaphazelayo, ukuguqula abantu kwiindawo ezininzi zabantu abanomdla, abaqaphelayo abajongene nemingeni yoluntu kunye nemeko njengabantu basehlabathini. "
# 3 Gilad Goren: "Uhambo olusisigxina luhambo lokuhamba olucwangcisiweyo kwaye lwenziwa ngawo onke amanqaku athatyathelwe ingqalelo. Uhambo apho unyawo lwalo lokusingqongileyo luncitshisiwe kwaye luncitshiswa. Xa uhlahlo lwabiwo lwabahambi luchithwa kwiimveliso kunye namashishini aphantsi kwendawo kunye nokuqinisekiswa kwenkqubo yawo yentlalo kunye nokusingqongileyo, ukwenzela ukuba kuqinisekiswe ukuba indawo ekuye yavakashela iyanceda ngokwenene kwizokhenketho. Yihambo ephucula inkcubeko kunye noluntu olusebenza njengendawo yokuhamba. Ekugqibeleni, ukhenketho oluzinzileyo apho zonke iindawo zokuhamba ngokulingana: umhambi, indawo kunye nehlabathi, ngokukhawuleza kunye nokuzuza ngokulinganayo. "
# 4 UDaniela Papi Thornton: "Ndiyakholelwa ukuba ukuhamba okuzinzileyo akubandakanyi nje ukugcinwa kwendalo (ukujongana neempembelelo zethu zemvelo) kunye nokuzinza kweenkcubeko (ukukhumbuza nokuhlonipha malunga neenkcubeko zendawo) kodwa kuyafuna inkalo yemfundo. Ukwahlukana kwenkcubeko, asikwazi ukunamathela kubo.Ukuba singenakufunda malunga neendlela zokuhamba ezinoxanduva loluntu, asikwazi ukuzikhetha. Ukukhetha ukuhamba ngokukhawuleza kufuna ukuba uzifundise ngaphambi kokuba usuke! , ngokubhekiselele ekuhambeni kwenkonzo, kunye nokufundiswayo.info "
