No ke aha ʻo Bwindi National Park kahi maikaʻi loa no Gorilla Trekking ma ʻApelika.

Ua kau kou puʻuwai e kipa koke aku iā Uganda? Inā pēlā, e hoʻokomo pū ana Ululaau ʻo Bwindi Impenetrable i kāu mau hoʻolālā he pono virtual no nā kumu he nui. Ma lalo, e māhele mākou i nā kumu kiʻekiʻe e koho ʻoe i ka pāka aupuni ʻo Bwindi no kāu safari gorilla.

ʻTlelo aʻoaʻo eTN: ʻO Uganda Safari

The 20^th kenekulia ʻo ia kekahi o nā wā maikaʻi ʻole i ka mōʻaukala ke hiki mai i ka pau nui ʻana o nā laha. ʻO ka gorilla mauna kahi kokoke i kekahi o ia mau mea, akā mahalo i ke komo ʻana o nā ʻuhane koa e like me Dian Fossey a me nā mea mālama ʻē aʻe, ua komo nui ke aupuni o Uganda i ke kōkua ʻana e pale aku i kēia mau holoholona nāwaliwali.

I kēia lā, hele mai nā mea huakaʻi a puni ka honua i Bwindi National Park no huakaʻi gorilla, ʻoiai ua kū hou lākou i ka helu a hiki i kahi o 400 mau gorila e noho nei i loko o nā palena o ka pā, kahi kokoke i ka hapalua o nā gorillas mauna e kū nei i ka nāhelehele ākea.

E hoʻomaopopo he ala maʻalahi ʻole kahi huakaʻi e ʻike ai i nā gorillas mauna; no ka poʻe hoʻomaka, pono ʻoe e kaʻi aku ma kahi o $ 600 USD ma mua o kou ʻae ʻia e haʻalele i kahi huakaʻi e ʻike iā lākou.

Ke hana ʻoe, ʻike koke ʻoe ʻaʻole kēia he hele maʻamau i ka ulu lāʻau. Wahi a nā mea e ʻike ai ke kuhi, e hoʻonui ana ʻoe i kou ala i pulu, nā pali lua pele ʻū a hacking i kou ala mai ka palaki mānoanoa.

ʻOiai paʻakikī e like me ke kani ʻana, pono ia mea āpau ke hiki aku ʻoe ma luna o kahi kāʻei o kēia mau holoholona kūikawā, ʻoiai hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā e like me kekahi o ko mākou mau hoahānau kokoke loa (kaʻana like mākou iā 98% o kā mākou DNA me kēia mau kāne) kā lākou ʻoihana.

Hiki i ka ʻōlelo kino e aniani pili pono i kā mākou ponoʻī, ʻo ka manaʻo āu e ʻike ai i ka nānā ʻana i kā mākou mau mua evolutionary ʻaʻole ia e like me kekahi mea āu i ʻike ai i kou ola.

E hoʻolohe pono i kāu ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo e pili ana i ka noho mamao loa ʻana mai iā lākou a noho hāmau, no ka mea hiki iā lākou ke holo a ʻoi aku paha ka maikaʻi.

ʻO ka helu kiʻekiʻe loa o nā ʻohana Gorilla

I kēia lā, ke hoʻokipa nei ʻo Bwindi impenetrable nahele ma luna o 500 mau ʻano gorilla mauna ʻo ia ka helu kiʻekiʻe loa ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia i ka ʻāina mālama Virunga i puʻunaue ʻia i 3 mau palena palena ma Rwanda, Lepupalika Kemokalaka o Kongo a me kahi ʻāpana ma Uganda.

ʻO ka Bwindi National Park kahi huina nui o 13 mau pūʻulu gorilla i kū ma Uganda loaʻa no nā mākaʻikaʻi e hele wāwae i nā wahi ulu lāʻau ʻē aʻe a me 2 mau hui ʻē aʻe i loaʻa no ka ʻike ʻo gorila habituation. ʻO kēia ka makana kiʻekiʻe loa o nā hui gorilla i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ka pāka aupuni Volcanoes o Rwanda e loaʻa ana he 10 mau ʻohana maʻa mau a me kahi pāka ʻo Virunga e pale nei i nā ʻohana 6.

Aia nā holoholona ʻē aʻe ma mua o nā gorillas mauna ma loko o kona palena

ʻO ka pā e pale aku nei iā Bwindi Impenetrable Forest kahi home o nā gorillas mauna wale nō, ʻoiai he nui nā ʻano holoholona ʻē aʻe āu e hālāwai ai ke hele ʻoe i kāna alahele. Ma loko o kona mau palena, e ʻike ʻoe i 120 mau ʻano mammals, nā ʻano rana, nā chameleon, a me nā geckos, 220 mau ʻano o nā lepe, a ma luna o nā ʻano manu like ʻole o 340.

ʻO nā chimpanzees, nā mōʻī huelo ʻulaʻula, a me ka mōʻī a L'Hoest nā ʻano primate ʻē aʻe i loaʻa ma Bwindi, akā ʻo nā ʻelepani, nā ʻīlio hihiu, a me nā pōpoki gula ʻApelika kekahi mau māmela i hiki ke loaʻa ma kēia wao nahele.

Ke hele a kaʻa kaʻa paha i nā ala e hele i waena o kēia paka, e hāmama nā maka a me kāu mau binocular i hiki ke maʻalahi, no ka mea ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻike ke ʻike ʻoe i kahi o kēia mau mea nani.

E ʻoluʻolu kāna flora i nā mea huakaʻi manaʻo ecologically

Noho ma ka Equator a ma ka liʻiliʻi he 3,900 kapuaʻi ma luna o ka ʻilikai, ua hoʻokumu ke aniau hopena i nā kūlana kūpono no ka ulu ʻana o nā ʻano flora like ʻole. Me nā kiʻekiʻe e loli nui i waena o nā palena o ka pā, hoʻololi nā ʻano lāʻau, nā mea kanu, a me nā pua ke neʻe ʻoe i luna a i lalo paha, no laila e hāmama kou mau maka i kou hele ʻana ma nā ala hele o Bwindi.

Mai nā ʻano ferns a i nā ʻano lehulehu o nā orchids a me nā lāʻau kiʻekiʻe, nā mea ʻōmaʻomaʻo āu e ʻike ai ma nā ala e ola ai kou ʻuhane - ke hele nei nā wahi o ka honua, aia kekahi mau wahi ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi e ʻauʻau i ka ulu lāʻau.

E aʻo e pili ana i nā kuʻuna o ka Batwa People

ʻO ka hoʻokumu ʻana o Bwindi Impenetrable National Park kahi mea hou loa i ka moʻolelo o Uganda. Hana ʻia i ka makahiki 1991 mai ʻelua mau waihona ulu nahele i hana ʻia ma mua, ua loli nā lula no ke komo ʻana i mea paʻakikī i ka Batwa, kahi lāhui ʻōiwi, e loaʻa kahi ola.

ʻOiai he poʻe ʻāhiu holoholona i loaʻa ka wāwae wāwae māmā ma luna o ka ʻāina ma mua o ko lākou hoʻokokoke ʻia ʻana mai ka nahele ʻo Bwindi Impenetrable, ua hakakā lākou e hele ma hope koke iho o kā lākou kipaku ʻia ʻana.

I ka manawa naʻe, ua hoʻololi ka Batwa i kēia mea hou ma o ka ʻae ʻana i nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e kipa i kahi e ʻike i kā lākou moʻomeheu. I kēia lā, no kahi uku liʻiliʻi i uku ʻia i nā alakaʻi o Batwa, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike pehea ko lākou noho ʻana mai ka ʻāina no nā eona a hiki i kēia lā.

Ma ke ʻano he hopena o kēia hana, ua hoʻomaikaʻi maikaʻi ʻia ke ʻano nohona o ka poʻe i koi ʻia e noho i ke ao hou o ka nohona ma hope o nā hanauna he lehulehu o ka noho ʻana i kahi ola maʻalahi. E hoʻokomo iā ia i kāu ala hele - ʻaʻole wale ia e hoʻonui ai i kou lā nui ma Ugandan, akā e kōkua ana ʻoe e hoʻomaikaʻi i ke ola o ka poʻe e hakakā nei e ʻike i ko lākou mau wāwae i kahi honua wiwo ʻole.

ʻO kahi laʻana Ugandan meaʻai ma nā hale ʻāina

E noʻonoʻo paha i ka mea a nā kamaʻāina kūloko ma ka ʻāina ʻo Bwindi e ʻai ai i kēlā me kēia lā? Mai pili pono i nā koho komohana i lawelawe ʻia ma nā hōkele kahi āu e noho ai i kāu wā e kipa aku ai - e kipa aku i kahi hale ʻaina kūloko a hoʻohālikelike i kahi uku pālua.

ʻO ka mea kikoʻī, e hoʻāʻo e ʻai i kahi Rolex - ʻaʻole, ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻai i ka wati, akā naʻe, kahi wahī e like me ka burrito i hana ʻia e ka hoʻopiha ʻana i kahi chapati me nā hua hua, ka kāpena, nā ʻōmato, nā ʻaka, a me nā ʻiʻo i hoʻolapalapa ʻia, a laila ʻolokaʻa ʻana ma mua o ka kuke ʻana.

Ma nā keneta he 50 wale nō no kēlā me kēia kaʻa, he kumu kūʻai makehewa akā ʻono ia a nā mea he nui o nā Ugandans a me nā backpackers i makemake ai mai kona wā i hana ʻia ai i ka makahiki 2003.

Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi meaʻai māmā, hoʻāʻo i kekahi ʻāpana cassava me salsa a me guacamole i hana ʻia - makemake nui ʻia e nā hoa aloha kamaʻāina e ʻimi nei i kahi meaʻai māmā ma luna o kekahi mau mea inu, no laila e hui pū me lākou a leʻaleʻa i kahi hoʻololi moʻomeheu.
