Ke loaʻa iā ʻoe nā ʻiole nui i loko o kou hale, pono ʻoe e huki pū i kekahi mau kittie nui. No laila ke ʻōlelo nei lākou!

ʻIke ʻoukou i koʻu aloha nui ʻana me Kidepo Valley National Park, kahi wahi i mālama ʻia ma ke kihi ʻākau hikina o Uganda e poʻohiwi ana i nā mauna o South Sudan a i palena ʻia e Kenya i ka Hikina. ʻAe, ʻaʻole paha ʻoe i ʻike, akā i kēia manawa ʻike ʻoe.

Ma ka Pōʻalima (Iulai 26, 2018) ma kahi o ka manawa ʻaina awakea, ua hoʻopūʻiwa ʻia kekahi o nā hale hoʻokipa o ka paka i ka kipa aliʻi ʻana mai kekahi o nā pua nani o ka paka, he liona.

Hele pololei ʻo ia i loko o ka hale ʻaina (wahi hale ʻai) noho a puni ka papa ʻaina a nānā hoʻomanawanui i nā mea lawelawe e lawelawe iā ia. Malia paha ʻo kāna mea e makemake ai he steak marinated a me kahi wai ʻApelika maloʻo e hoʻopau i kona make wai. Akā, ma hope o ke kali ʻana me ka lawelawe ʻole, ua hele ʻo ia e ʻai a i ʻole e ʻimi i hale ʻaina me kāna ʻano papa ʻaina.

Mai kaʻu kamaʻilio ʻana me Justus Ainomugisha, ka mea hoʻokele ma Kidepo Savanna Lodge e pili ana i ka paka aupuni, nāna hoʻi i kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i kēia mākaʻikaʻi aliʻi aliʻi, ua maopopo iaʻu he huakaʻi kakaʻikahi loa kēia a ʻaʻole hiki i nā kāne o ka hale hoʻokipa ke wehewehe i ka manaʻo o ka makaʻu ʻelua. a me ka hoihoi. Nona a mālama ʻia ʻo Kidepo Savanna Lodge e Nature Lodges kahi kaulahao o nā hale safari ma Uganda.

“Ma kahi o ke awakea i ka hele ʻana o kā mākou poʻe malihini i kahi huakaʻi pāʻani kakahiaka, ua ʻike wau a me kaʻu mau limahana i kahi kipa ʻana e ke aliʻi nani o ka ululāʻau. Ua lohe mākou i kekahi mea e ʻakaʻaka ana i loko o ka hale ʻaina, akā ʻaʻole mākou i noʻonoʻo nui i ka mea i manaʻo mākou he wai wai wale nō. Akā i ka nānā pono ʻana, ʻike mākou i ka liona e hauʻoli ana ma lalo o ko mākou papa ʻaina. Ua hele pololei ʻo ia i loko no kahi manawa pōkole (ma kahi o 30 mau minuke) a haʻalele koke ma hope me ka ʻole o ka haunaele i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai mākou e kiʻi i nā kiʻi, "wahi a Justus. Ua ʻōlelo pū ʻo ia he mea maʻamau ka lohe ʻana i ka uwō ʻana o nā liona a me ka hakakā ʻana i ka pō, a he mea leʻaleʻa maʻamau ia i nā malihini.

ʻO Diederik Vandehoeke, he loea safari o ʻApelika Hikina Hikina ma Uganda e kipa pinepine ana iā Kidepo me kona ʻohana a hana ma Ubuntu Safaris, kahi hui ma Australia; Ua hauʻoli like ʻo ia i ka nūhou, e pili ana iā Kidepo Valley National Park ma ke ʻano he "wild, wild and wild…

Ua haʻi mai ʻo Diederik iaʻu "me he mea lā ʻo kēia liona kekahi o nā kaikunāne ʻelua e hakakā nui a ʻike paha ka mea pio i kona hoʻi ʻana ma ko lākou hale moe."

ʻO Kidepo nā mea a pau! Hāʻawi ʻo ia i nā ʻano holoholona he nui i loko o kahi paka i noho ʻole ʻia e nā kaʻa safari. ʻO nā liona, nā leopadi, nā cheetahs, nā ʻelepani, nā giraffe, bufalo, nā ostriches a me nā ʻano manu ʻē aʻe he nui loa, nā antelope, e kapa ʻia; a laila aia ka ʻāina kupanaha i kiaʻi ʻia e nā kaiāulu kūloko maoli me nā moʻomeheu hoihoi.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, he hihiu kēia paka, no laila pono ʻoe e makaʻala a makaʻala loa ʻaʻole e auwana wale, akā hoʻonohonoho ka hoʻokele paka i nā pūʻali koa a puni ka paka e hōʻoia i ka palekana o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi a loaʻa ka ʻike maikaʻi loa ma ʻaneʻi.
