Yehlisa amathonya abantu
Lapho umfula i-Okavango, uvela e-Angola, ugcwala izingxenye ezinkulu zenyakatho ekugcineni kwenkathi yemvula, uyisisekelo sesinye sezifunda ezihluke kakhulu emhlabeni: i-Okavango Delta. E-Botswana ezokuvakasha ziwumthombo wesibili obaluleke kakhulu wemali engenayo ngemuva kokukhishwa kwamadayimane. Akumangalisi ukuthi uhulumeni ubuye abe nentshisekelo ebukhali ngomqondo we "ecotourism," izinkampani ezikhuthaza njengokuthi "ihlane," kodwa futhi uyazilawula ngamandla: "Kukhona ukuhlolwa okuqinile njalo, lapho uhulumeni eqinisekisa khona ukuthi uhlangabezana nazo zonke izidingo ecotourism. Bafundela ukuphathwa kwemfucuza kepha balawula nokuthi sikugcina kanjani ukudla kwethu. Azikho izilwane zasendle okufanele zikwazi ukufinyelela ekudleni obekungeke kube khona ngaphandle kwawo, ”kuchaza uRichard Avilino, umhlahlandlela eCamp Vumbura Plains. Uma udla i-apula ku-Land Rover, ubuyela emuva ne-burp - izihlahla ze-apula azidaleki e-Okavango Delta. Amakamu akhelwe phezu kwezinsimbi. Ukuvikela ezilwaneni zasendle, ngakolunye uhlangothi. Kepha futhi ngemuva kokuphelelwa yisikhathi kwemvume yeminyaka engamashumi amabili - uma ingavuselelwa - ukubuyisela le ndawo esimweni sayo semvelo sokuqala.

I-mopanis yayisetshenziswa njengezisekelo zabazingeli - izilwane zacekela phansi imvelo, ngakho-ke ingxabano yabo. Namuhla, omunye umoya uvunguzela iphunga le-sage ngokusebenzisa udoti. Namuhla, iBotswana iyingqayizivele ngezindlela eziningi. Izwe lithathwa njengesibonelo esiyisisekelo sentando yeningi e-Afrika - akukaze kube nempi yombango noma impi yamasosha. IBotswana 1966 ikwazile ukugqashula ekubuseni kwamakoloni aseBrithani. Kuyizwe futhi e-Afrika lapho ukuzinqunyelwa kwezilwane zasendle kuvinjelwe ngokuphelele - kuphela ngonyaka uMongameli we-2013 u-Ian Khama akhiphe umthetho ohambisanayo.

"Inqubomgomo yezokuvakasha ephansi ngokubhekelela ezokuvakasha ezishibhile ingumnikelo obalulekile emqondweni we-ecotourism. Lokhu kunciphisa kakhulu umthelela omubi emigomweni yenhlalo nakwezemvelo. "
Ukuvikelwa kwemvelo njengenkinga yokunethezeka
UMapu Ives ungomunye wozakwabo baka-Eugene, uchwepheshe wezilwane ohamba ngezinyawo eWilderness, osebenza ngokubambisana nohulumeni: "Umgomo 'wokuvakasha kwabantu abaphansi' ngokuqhathanisa nezokuvakasha ezishibhile obalulekile ungumnikelo obalulekile emcabangweni we-ecotourism nathi ukwesekwa okukhulu.

"Ukukhuluma Ngethonya Lezenhlalo: Imvume yamakamu okuhamba inikezwa nguhulumeni ngokubonisana nemiphakathi yasendaweni - bonke kufanele bavumelane lapho kwakhiwa ikamu elisha. Ngenxa yalokhu bayazuza ngemisebenzi. Futhi izivakashi ezinentshisekelo kumasiko abo. Lokhu kubalulekile ezweni lapho ubuphofu bukhulu khona ukuthi, ngaphandle kwayo yonke imizamo, ukuvikela imvelo kuseyindaba yokunethezeka yabantu abaningi.
"Indlela yokuhamba isishintshile"
UMonika Peball ungumnikazi wesikhungo sezokuvakasha eZimbabwe naseBotswana futhi ubona intshisekelo eyandayo yezivakashi ezihamba namasiko nemvelo: "Isibalo sokukhulekelwa kwemvelo yezemvelo sikhula kakhulu.

Abaningi futhi bafuna ukusebenzisana kumaphrojekthi afana ne-Wild Dog Conservation. Indlela yokuhamba ivele yashintsha lapha. "
Izinja zasendle, uhlobo engingakaze ngiluzwe ngaphambi kokuthi ngiye eBotswana. Ukuvikelwa kwabo kuyinkinga enkulu e-Okavango Delta. Amakhophi we-1.200 kuphela asekhona, njengoba umqondisi wethu u-Lesh echaza. Saba nenhlanhla ngokwanele yokubona ezinye. "Abavakashi ikakhulukazi abazi ukuthi kubaluleke kangakanani ukuvikela imvelo lapha. Kepha bayifunda ngenkathi belapha nathi. Sakha ukuqwashisa futhi ekugcineni, bakwazisa kakhulu njengoba kwenza thina, ”kusho uLesh ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwakhe nabavakashi. Nginezivakashi ezinjengami. Ukuvakashela izwe elinomqondo omkhulu ngokuhlukahlukana kwemvelo futhi okuphathelene nokwazi ukuthi uqonda ngokuphelele isipiliyoni ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kamuva. Kodwa into eyodwa yayivele icacile kimi ngemuva kwamahora okuqala e-Land Rover: Ngaphandle komnotho we-ecotourism, lo mbukwane wemvelo ubungeke uqhubeke isikhathi eside kangako.
