EMzantsi Afrika, kukho iindawo ezininzi eziza kubakholisa nakumhambi owaziwayo, kodwa iTankwa-Karoo National Park imele ihluke. Akusiyo kuphela indawo yokuphumla esifubeni sezilwanyana zasendle, ukuvumela ukuba uqhelane nommandla omangalisayo we-Afrika, kodwa kunye neziko eliphambili lophando. Ipaki i-70 km ukusuka eSutherland, emngceleni ophakathi kwamaphondo aseNtshona naseNyakatho Koloni.
Yintoni ephawulekayo ngepaki?
Ukuba awuyithandi ubushushu, awuyi kuthanda iTankwa-Karoo. Le ngenye yeengingqi ezomileyo zaseAfrika (apha akukho ngaphezu kwe-100 mm yemvula ngonyaka), ehlala kwindawo eninzi. Ulawulo logcino lufumaneka kwizakhiwo ezindala ezakhiwe ebhankini lomlambo woKuvuselela, ngoko ke akunakwenzeka ukuzibona. Ekufuphi uza kubona ihotele apho ungahlala khona ubusuku obuya kuchitha kule ndawo yendalo emangalisayo iintsuku ezimbalwa.
Ngenxa yokuthuthuzela kwayo, indawo yokuhlala kwabakhenkethi apha ikude neehotele ezintlanu zeenkwenkwezi. Ungagcina kwaye uyiqeshise itente ngaphandle kweendawo ezikhethiweyo kwi-ofisi yokuqeshisa eyodwa ye-rand ukuya kwi-100-225 yeerandi (kuxhomekeke kwisayithi yommandla) okanye uqeshise i-cottage (eqhelekileyo, kaninzi nangaphandle kombane okanye kwiklasi yokunethezeka) ngo-600-1300 irandi ngosuku.
Okudumeleyo yiGannaga Lodge, ekhoyo malunga ne-24 km ukusuka kwizakhiwo zolawulo eRudverfa. Apha uya kunikelwa ukuba uzonambitha ukutya kwendawo kwindawo yokudlela epholileyo kwaye uphumule ngokutyelela ibha.
Iimpawu zendalo kunye nezilwanyana
Ipaki iyaziwa kwihlabathi lonke kungekhona nje ngeendawo zayo ezimangalisayo, kodwa kunye neentlobo ezilucebileyo zendalo kunye nezilwanyana. Ikhula izityalo ezinqabileyo, kunye neentlobo ezininzi zeentaka (187 iintlobo), ezifumaneka apha, kuquka neyona nto ingabonakaliyo, yenza iTankwa-Karu ibe yiparadesi yokwenene yeentaka. Xa ufika apha, gqoba iimpahla eziqinileyo: unameva oqhelekileyo kunye novava oqhelekileyo, ehlangene apha kwiinyawo zonke, unako ukuwuphula.
Ekupheleni kwehlobo nasekwindla yokuqala, abaqhelanisi beqiniso beentaka zeentaka babuthana epaki: ngeli xesha kunethuba elihle lokugcina izilwanyana zeentaka (iintlunkulu, iilr, izimvu kunye nabanye). Ngo-1998, imfuyo yezimvu yaziswa eTankwa-Karu, apho iimeko zokuhlala ezikhethekileyo zenziwe zifana neendawo zazo zokuhlala kwendalo.
Ugcino lubandakanya iintlobo ezingaphezu kwezi-60 zezilwanyana zasemhlabeni, kubandakanywa neengonyama, iifubhu, i-kudu antelopes, iimbusi.
Zo lonwabo
Ukuba ungumtshitshisi wezinto zangaphandle, ungacingi ukuba kukho uxolo kunye nokuzola epakini, ngoko uya kukhwankqiswa ukuhlala apha ixesha elide. Unyaka wonke, umthendeleko othi "AfrikaBurn" ubanjwe eTankwa-Karu. Ikhangela amashumi amawaka abantu, abumbene ngokunxana nobuchule kunye nokuzithetha. Nazi izinto ezibonakalayo zobugcisa, ngamanye amaxesha ziba nobukhulu obukhulu. Ngobusuku bokugqibela bomthendeleko, ezi zidalwa zezandla zabantu zitshiswa ngokunyanisekileyo.
Ngeholide, unokubona uhambahamba ngokuzenzekelayo abantu abagqoke iingubo ezingavamile kwaye eziqhenqileyo kunye nokusebenzisa indlela engafaniyo yokuthutha (umzekelo, ibhasikidi ehlotshiswe phantsi komzimba wehaki).
Abadlali bezemidlalo ezigqithiseleyo baya kuqonda imizila ekhethekileyo ekhokela kwiindlela ezibethekileyo ezisezantsi kwi-savanna savannah. Kodwa ukuya kwintlanganiso kunye nemvelo eqhelekileyo kufuneka kuphela ukuba uqinisekile ukuba awukwazi ukulahleka kwaye uzimelele kwiimeko ezinzima.
Kupaki kuneendlela ezizodwa kulabo abafuna ukukhwela ibhayisikili okanye isithuthuthu, kodwa kulo lonke ipaki le nto ayinakwenziwa.
E-Tankva-Karu, awuyi kufumana iivenkile zokutyela okanye ivenkile: ngokuba inxalenye inxalenye yentlango, apho unayo ithuba elikhethekileyo lokubona isibhakabhaka sasebusuku ngeenkwenkwezi eziqhaqhaqhaqhaqhaqhaqha, njengoko kwenzeka kwindawo eshiyiweyo.
Imigaqo yokutyelela iTankvay-Karu
Ipaki ibhetele ukuza ukususela ngo-Agasti ukuya ku-Oktobha, xa kuqala ixesha lemvula kwaye i-carpet carpet igubungela intaba kakhulu. Ngokuhlwa, ukungena kwintsimi yendawo yokugcina indawo, kwakunye nokunyakaza kuyo kubakhenkethi abemi ngqo kwimimandla yeTankwa-Karu, bavinjelwe ngokungqongqo. Kwaye nangemini, akufanelekile ukuphuma kwinqanaba elibiweyo: kuyingozi kakhulu.
Le ndlela apha ayikho yindlela esemgangathweni, ngoko kuya kuba nzima ukuyiqhuba ngaphandle kwayo i-jeep okanye enye i-wheel drive. Izibonelelo ezincedisayo ziphantse zingekho: ungafikelela kwi-Intanethi usebenzisa i-Wi-Fi kuphela kwinqanaba elinye. Ukwamkelwa kwabaqhubi beefowuni akunjalo, kwaye ukuthengwa kwamatye kunye nepetroli kungaba yinxaki.
Ukususela ngoMsombuluko ukuya kuLwesine kwaye ngoMgqibelo ukulawulwa kwendawo yokugcina indawo ivuliwe ukusuka kwi-7.30 ukuya ku-17.00, ngeCawa nangeeholide ukusuka ngo-10.00 ukuya ku-16.00, nakwesihlanu ukususela ngo-7.30 ukuya ku-21.00. Imigaqo yokuziphatha epakini ilula kakhulu:
- musa ukutshaya;
- Musa ukuloyikisa okanye ukulimaza izilwanyana;
- Musa ukuthatha izixhobo kunye nezilwanyana kunye nawe;
- Musa ukuyeka kwaye ungayichitha ubusuku kwiindawo ezingenakujoliswa kule nto;
- umlilo kuphela apho kuvunyelwe kwaye akukho mngcipheko wokusasaza umlilo.
Ndingafika njani?
Ukuqhubela epakini ukusuka eKapa ngemoto, kuya kuthatha ubuncinane iiyure ezingama-4. Ngaphambi kweWorcester kwindlela ye-N2 iya kwiCeres kwaye uqhubeke kunye ne-R46. Emva kweekhilomitha ezingama-50, thabatha umzila we-R355 ukuya eKalvinia. Olunye u-70 km ecaleni komgwaqo omkhulu-kwaye sele usesangweni likaTankwa-Karu.
