A kuʻi koke ʻo liona wahine i waho o ka ululāʻau. I nā lā ʻelua, heluhelu ʻo Lesh i nā ala mai ka Land Rover Defender e hōʻike ana, e ʻimi ana iā lākou. A laila hoʻohāʻike ʻo ia, e hōhele i kā mākou ala me ka maka pololei a nalowale hoʻi i loko o ka lāʻau. ʻElua mau liona a me ka wahine wahine hoʻokahi e noho ana ma ke ākea kokoke i kahi hoʻomoana "Xigera" i waenakonu o ka Okavango Delta. He hana hoʻohālikelike ka voyeuristic e kāhea aku ai i ka huakaʻi hoihoi: ʻO nā Descendants, i ka nahele, makemake ʻoe e hōʻona i ka hopu ʻana i ka liona wahine kokoke. Akā ʻo kā mākou alakaʻi e hana i ka hoʻohālikelike a huli i ka mīkini: "Noho mākou i kahi mamao, no ka mea ʻaʻole mākou makemake e hoʻopilikia i ka liona wahine i kā lākou ʻimi." Hoʻolohe ʻo ia i nā ʻano ʻano hoʻonaninani o nā manu manu a me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe ʻē aʻe, me he mea lā e haʻi ʻia kēia kani ʻana i kekahi mea: "Ma luna o laila, ma ka ʻaoʻao hema, lohe mākou i ke kāhea ʻana i ke kōtio," i wehewehe ai ʻo Lesh, i kona kuhikuhi ʻana i kahi lāʻau e pili ana iā 100 mika mamao. "A ma ʻaneʻi eia, hoʻolaha ʻo Red Bill Francolin i kāna mau hoa pili i mua o kahi mea nāna e hoʻokūkū. Ua pololei ka liona i waenakonu. "A ke hoʻokokoke nei mākou, ʻike mākou iā ia e hiamoe pono ana ma kahi o ka ulu lāʻau ʻo.

ʻO ia ka ʻike hohonu hohonu o ka helehelena a me ka nānāʻana no ka hana akahai me ka hana e hoʻolilo ai iā Lesh i hoʻokahi o nā alakaʻi safari maikaʻi loa ma ka ʻāpana. ʻO ka hui ʻo "Wīwī" kāna mea hana - a ʻo nā mea hou aku 2.600 ma Botswana, Zambia, Namibia a me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe ʻeono. Me 61 Camps kekahi o nā mea lawelawe nui loa o ka safaris premium - e hana ana ma Botswana no kanakolu mau makahiki. Me ka mea aʻu e kamaʻilio pū ai i ka wā o kaʻu noiʻi - aupuni, nā keʻena huakaʻi, nā limahana - "Kahiwi" kāhea ʻia i ka ʻōlelo o ka mālama o ke kaiāulu he ʻano nui. He ʻōlelo e hiki ai iaʻu ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo hou iaʻu a hōʻoia hou. Ma kahi hoʻohālike, i ka kamaʻilio ʻana me Thsolo, 25 mau makahiki a kokoke iā ia e hoʻopau i kāna aʻo ʻana ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi kōkua ma "Wildlife": "Ua ulu wau i ka manawa i kolohe ʻia e kū i nā holoholona hihiu ma Botswana.

"Ma nā kamaʻilio he nui i hiki i wau ke manaʻo i kēia kūpaʻa hohonu i ka holoholona a me ka pale o ka nohona.
Hoʻololi i nā mana kanaka
Ke hele mai nei ka muliwai ʻo Okavango mai Angola, e kahe ana ʻo i nā wahi nui ma ke kūkulu ʻākau ma ka hopena o ka maloʻo, ʻo ia ka kumu no kekahi o nā wahi like ʻole o ka honua: ʻo Okavango Delta. I ke kaiʻāina ʻo Botswana ka lua kumu nui o ka loaʻa kālā ma hope o ka lawe ʻia ʻana o nā daimana. ʻAʻohe mea kupanaha, he makemake nui hoʻi ke aupuni i ka manaʻo o ka "ecotourism," ʻo ka hōʻeuʻeu ʻana o nā hui e like me "ka wao nahele," akā, ke hoʻomau ʻia nei hoʻi i ka hoʻopili ʻia e ia: "He mau mana loiloi mau loa, a laila e hōʻoia ke aupuni e hoʻokō mākou i nā kūlana āpau hoʻohaʻahaʻa.

Inā ʻoe e ʻai i kahi ʻākala ma ka Land Rover, lawe ʻoe i ka ʻōpū - ʻaʻole i hānau nā hua lāʻau i ka loʻa Okavango Delta. Hoʻokumu ʻia nā hale hoʻomoana ma nā lāʻau. No ka pale ʻana i nā holoholona hihiu, ma ka lima hoʻokahi. Akā naʻe ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka hala ʻana o ka iwakālua mau makahiki - inā ʻaʻole ia e hoʻāla hou - e hoʻihoʻi i kēia wahi i kāna kūlana kūlohelohe. Pono e pale ʻia ka liʻiliʻi kanaka. ʻO ka makeā ʻo ʻEkekoulepani ma aneʻi. Ma luna aʻe o nā mea a pau, kahi kūlana e hiki mai ana no ka ʻāina.
Me ka pūʻali koa e ku e ana i na palaho
Aia ka ʻōpū o ka ʻōpū i loko o ka lewa e hoʻi mai ana i ka lāʻau me ka Land Rover. Kū ʻoi nā lāʻau Mopani ma ke aniani, ʻōlohelohe a me kahi uha - he mea maikaʻi loa na nā elepani. Hoʻohana ʻia ka mopanis e like me ke ʻano no ka poʻe lawaiʻa - ʻo ka holoholona ua luku ʻia i ka ʻenehana, no laila ko lākou hoʻopaʻapaʻa. I kēia lā, aia kekahi makani e hoʻāhu i ke ʻano o ka sage ma ka delta. I kēia lā, he mea ʻokoʻa loa ka Botswana i nā ʻano. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka'āina he mokuahi hoʻohālikelike no ka hoʻokūkū ma ʻApelika - ʻaʻole loa i hakakā he kaua a me nā palapala koa kaua. Ua hiki i ke Botswana 1966 ke wāwahi i nā mana o nā kolepa aliʻi Pelekane. ʻO ia nō kekahi ʻāina i ʻAmelika kahi i pāpā kaʻawale ʻia ai ka hopu holoholona no nā holoholona hihiu - wale nō i ka makahiki ʻo 2013 Ua hōʻike ʻo Pelekikena ʻo Ian Khama i kahi kānāwai kūpono. Hoʻoweliweli ka hoʻopaʻi ʻo Draconian a hiki i ka iwakālua mau makahiki i hoʻoweliweli i ka poʻe e pepehi ana i kahi holoholona hihiu. "I ka wā i kipa aku ai kekahi mau pōʻaiapau ma nā antelope, ua neʻe ka Botswana Defense Force me kā lākou mau pūʻali koa pūʻali e huli no lākou," wahi a Eugene Luck, ka mea hoʻokele ma "Wīwau". "Ke koʻikoʻi nei ke aupuni o Botswana.
"ʻO ke kulekele o ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa e pili ana i ka huakaʻi mokulele hiki i kahi waiwai nui i ka manaʻo o ka ecotourism. ʻO kēia ka mea nui e hōʻemi i ka hopena maikaʻi i ka ʻōlelo a me ka ʻōlelo pili kaiaulu. "
ʻO ka palekana o ke kaiāulu e like me ka pilikia momona
ʻO Map Ives kekahi o nā kauā Eugene, kahi loea safari ma Wilderness, e hana pū nei me ke aupuni: "ʻO ke kulekele o 'low low turism' e kūʻē i ka lawehala mokulele waiwai he mea nui i ka manaʻo o ka ecotourism a ʻo mākou kekahi. kākoʻo nui.

No kēia mea loaʻa iā lākou mai ka hana. A me nā mea mākaʻikaʻi e makemake nui i kā lākou moʻomeheu. He mea nui kēia i loko o kahi ʻāina i mea waiwai nui ka ʻilihune, ʻoiai nā hana āpau, ʻoi aku ka pale i ka nohona kūwaho i kahi mea nui no ka lehulehu.
"Ua loli kekahi ala hele.
Nona Monika Peball kahi hui huakaʻi ma Zimbabwe a me Botswana a nānā ia i ka piʻi nui ʻana o nā mea mākaʻikaʻi ma ka moʻomeheu a me nā ʻano: "Ke ulu nui nei ka noi no ka ecotourism. ʻAʻole makemake hou ka poʻe e hele i safari, akā e komo pū ma nā kahua hoʻomau, hoʻomohala i nā ʻike o nā kūlana kūloko a me nā pilikia.

Kuhi-ʻīlio, kahi ʻano aʻu i lohe ʻole ai ma mua o koʻu hele ʻana i Botswana. ʻO kā lākou pale he pilikia nui loa ia ma ka Okavango Delta. ʻO nā kope 1.200 wale nō ia ma ʻaneʻi, e like me kā ke alakaʻi alakaʻi Lesh.
