Sithetha uqoqosho, ukhenketho, kunye nomphumo wendawo we-safaris
Umhleli Ohambayo Ohambayo u-Olivia Balsinger unelungelo lokuchitha ixesha kwiKarongwe River Lodge eMzantsi Afrika. I-Lodge iyingxenye yePortfolio yaseKarongwe, kunye nezinye iimpahla zayo ezine-Kuname River Lodge, iManor House, i-Chisomo Safari Camp kunye ne-Shiduli Private Game Lodge. Zonke zifumaneka kwi-Karongwe Private Game Reserve, malunga ne-45 ngomzuzu wokuhamba ukusuka eKruger National Park, ekhaya "kwiiNtshonalanga ezinkulu" - iingonyama, ingwe, ibhokhwe, ihinki kunye neendlovu.
I-Karongwe River Lodge, njengezo zonke izakhiwo zePortfolio, ziyaziwa ngesimo sayo sogxobhozo semlambo, i-Pan African cuisine, kunye ne-safaris yokuguqula ubomi. Iindwendwe ziphumla kwivolanda le-Lodge phantsi kweenkwenkwezi zikhanyisa isibhakabhaka kwaye zithande ukhetho olubanzi lweebhiya zaseMzantsi Afrika kunye newayini. Okanye uphumule ngaselunxwemeni uze uvale izikhwebu zokuxhamla iimfene. Le nto yokunethezeka ekhutshwe kwizinto zendalo yinto ayenayo ngexesha lokuhlala kwakhe. Kodwa wayefuna ukwazi okungakumbi. Wagqiba ekubeni udliwano-ndlebe noKeenan Houareau, iNtloko yeRanger kwi-Karongwe Private Game Reserve.
I-OB: Kutheni uMzantsi Afrika njengesizwe sokuhamba kunye nokuya kuyo?
KH: Ndicinga ukuba isibalo esinye isizathu sokuba abantu bafanele bafike eMzantsi Afrika ukulungiswa kwabo kwe-safari yinqanaba lobungcali kunye nobuchule bethu obukhokelayo. I-rangers kufuneka ihambe ngeendlela zokuqeqeshwa kunye nokuhlolwa kweemvavanyo ngaphambi kokuba uthinte isithuthi.
Ulwahlulo lwethu kunye nothando lwezityalo zendalo kunye nokuhlukahluka kwezilwanyana zasendle kunye nezilwanyana kunye nemifuno eMzantsi Afrika kwenza yonke imidlalo iqhube amava athile.
I-OB: Kuthiwani ngabantu abathi i-safaris yenza okubi ngaphezu kokulungileyo kwendalo?
KH: Abakhenkethi akufanele bave ukuba babeka engozini nayiphi na indawo yokuhlala kwendalo okanye isongelo kwizilwanyana kwi-safari.
Zonke iingozi okanye izikhokelo ziqeqeshwe kakuhle malunga nokuthintela njani iimeko ezithile kwaye qi ni sekise ukuba zihlala zizikhokelo eziphezulu kakhulu. Rangers bathanda isiqithi kakhulu ukuba vumele ukuba sitshabalalise, kwaye baya kwenza konke abakwaziyo ukukhusela. Ukuphila kwethu.
I-OB: Ngoko siva ukuba uyisikhokelo, uhlala ubona i-Big Five kwaye ngaphezulu. Yintoni oyilwanyana oyithandayo oyibonayo?
KH: Isilwanyana sam esiyithandayo esiya kuzibona siya kuhlala sisengwe, mhlawumbi siyaziwa ngokuba yi "ghost of the bush." IiLopards ziyisidalwa esingenasiphelo kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo kunzima ukufumana kwi-Big Five. kubo ... Ndiyavakalelwa njengomntwana oneminyaka emihlanu kwiKrisimesi yonke imihla xa ndifumana enye yeekati ezihle kakhulu!
I-OB: Ukunyuka kwingxoxo yezoqoqosho ngaphezulu. Uqoqosho lwengingqi luzuza njani kwi-safaris yezokhenketho?
KH: Ukukhenketho yinkxaso enkulu kunazo zonke kwezoqoqosho lwethu lwasekuhlaleni. Kwindlela yokukhenketho ejongene nomsebenzi inoxanduva lomnye kwimisebenzi elishumi elinesibini eMzantsi Afrika. Uluntu lwasekuhlaleni lwethu olugcinwe kuyo luxhomekeke kwiindawo zethu zokulala. Sisebenzisa inani elikhulu labasebenzi basekuhlaleni kwaye le mi sebenzi ibalulekile kwiidolophana. Indawo esikuyo iqhutyelwa phantse kuphela kwizokhenketho.
Ngaphandle kwezokhenketho eziza kuza kubona izilwanyana zasendle kunye neendawo zokulala, kuya kuba nezinga eliphezulu lokungabikho kwemisebenzi kwingingqi yethu. Ngoko ke ukhenketho ndiza kuthi kugcinwe uqoqosho lwethu kwaye sivumele abantu bethu kunye nezindawo zokuhlala ziphile.
OB: Sagqiba ekubeni sifuna uhambo. Ngoku sinokukhetha njani ukuba sibhale?
KH: Izivakashi akufanele zijonge ngaphezu kwegama xa zikhupha i-safari. Into ebaluleke kakhulu umgangatho wemoto yokudlala. Khangela kwi-Facebook, Instagram kunye nohambo lomcebisi. Zonke iindawo zokulala ngoku zisebenzisa i-media media ukugcina ababukeli beze kube yimini ngokubona kwimihla. Kwakhona ndiya kuthetha ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba abatyelelo kufuneka bajonge indlela iindawo zokuhlala zihlala zizinzileyo kwaye zikhusela njani ukukhuselwa kwezilwanyana zasendle. Abakhenkethi bafanele bathathe inxaxheba ngala maphulo njengoko sifuna uncedo olungangoko kunokwenzeka.
OB: Sivile ukuba kukho umehluko phakathi kwe-safaris yabucala kunye noluntu. Sinike i-inside-scoop-engcono?
KH: Ndincoma i-safari yangasese endaweni yoluntu. I-safari yangasese ikunika unxibelelwano olusondeleyo noluntu. Ikunika ithuba lokumazi iqela lakho elidibeneyo kwaye likunike ithuba lokusondela kwizilwanyana ongeke ukwazi ukuzenza kwi-safaris yoluntu. Njenge-portfolio yangasese, sizama ukunika iindwendwe ithuba elihle kakhulu lolwazi. Uya kuba yinxalenye yentsapho xa ushiya.
OB: Kukho ubudlelwane obubi kunye ne-safaris. Chaza i-poaching kunye nobukhulu bayo.
KH: I-Poaching yinkathazo enkulu kuMzantsi Afrika kuphela, kodwa e-Afrika yonke. I-Poaching iza kuza kwiifom ezincinane ezinjenge-poaching for "inyama yaseburhulumenteni" kwaye ke imiba emikhulu kakhulu enjenge-rhino kunye ne-poaching poaching. Ukuxhaswa kwezilwanyana zasendle xa abantu bezingela iintlobo ezincinane zokutya ukuze baphile. Le nkxalabo enkulu kunoma yimuphi umnini womhlaba njengoko kulahlekelwa yimali engenayo. Ingxaki enkulu esibhekene nayo yinkinga ye-rhino poaching. Amabhinqa abulawa kunye neempondo zawo zisuswe. Ininzi yexesha le nto ayenziwanga ngokwabo kwaye kuninzi lokubulala kunokubulala. Maxa wambi ama-Rhinos ahambayo ahambahamba kunye nobuso bawo baqhekeza. Le ntshukumo yenzelwe ukuzuza ngemali njengoko uphondo lwe-rhino luxabisa ngaphezu kwegolide kunye ne-cocaine kwimarike yamnyama namhlanje. Inyaniso kukuba, zonke "iipilisi" kunye "namagunya" umntu angayifumana kwiphondo lobhejane. Uphondo lwe-Rhino lenziwe yinto efanayo kunye nezikhonkwane zeminwe. Ngoko ngelishwa sisesemfazweni ezama ukukhusela ezi zidalwa ezihle. Ndiyathemba nje ukuba sinokuyima phambi kokuba ihambe kakhulu. Ndiyakuthanda abantwana bam ukuba babone ama-rhino endle kodwa kuyisithembiso andinakuzigcina ngethuba.
Ngokombono wam kuphela indlela yokumisa intlungu ebuhlungu imfundo. Kufuneka kube nolwazi oluninzi lokukhuselwa kwezilwanyana kwizinga lonke.
I-OB: Oku kuye kwaziwa ngolwazi olukhulu kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo kukukhuthaza ukuthatha i-safari. Omnye umbuzo wokugqibela. Umzuzu wakho osithandayo we-safari. Hamba.
KH: Umzuzu wam ozithandayo kumqhubi wesiganeko kufuneka ube ngumhla ndabona ibhubesi lendoda liwela ehlathini kwaye ibambe ipangolin. Kuyinto engabonakaliyo ukubona "ukubulala" kwenzeka phambi kwakho kodwa ukubona ukuba kwenzeke kwizilwanyana ezihlambulukileyo kwintlambo yinto enye.
