Madzi oyera akugwedeza pamtsinje wa Zambezi ndizochitika zabwino kwambiri pa tsiku lokha. Ndakhala ndikuyenda ulendo wamtunda wazaka zisanu, zaka 4 zapitazi. Ngati mukufuna kukwera ku Victoria Falls , ichi ndi ntchito imodzi yomwe muyenera kuchita. Koma uyenera kukonzekera kuti ukhale wodzaza madzi ndipo ndithudi uzimwa madzi a Mtsinje wa Zambezi. Osadandaula, ndizotetezeka bwino komanso ng'ona ndizochepa!
Kodi ndatchula kuti tsikuli ndilo tsiku losangalatsa komanso losangalatsa la tchuthi?
Mtsinje wa Zambezi
Mtsinje wa Zambezi ndi mtsinje wachinayi waukulu ku Africa, ukuyenda kudutsa m'mayiko asanu ndi limodzi pamtunda wa makilomita 2,700. Zambezi imayambira moyo pakatikati pa dziko lapansi kumpoto chakumadzulo kwa Zambia pafupi ndi malire a dziko la Angola, ndipo imathera ulendo wawo mwa kutulukira ku Nyanja ya Indian, pamtsinje wa Mozambique. Mtsinje umadziwika ndi mathithi angapo okongola, koma palibe chochititsa chidwi monga Victoria Falls, mathithi aakulu kwambiri padziko lapansi. Ndipo uli pansi pa Victoria Falls, mumtsinje wa Batoka, kumene tsiku lonse lakumwera kwa madzi oyera kumayamba. Mtsinje wa Zambezi pakadali pano umakhala malire pakati pa Zambia ndi Zimbabwe .
Mtsinje wa Batoka uli ndi makoma akuluakulu a basalt wakuda omwe ali ofunika kwambiri ngati mchenga woyera mchenga umene uli m'mphepete mwa mtsinjewu. Mtsinje wa Zimbabwe ndi National Park ndipo pali zinyama zambiri zoti ziwone.
Mphepo yamkuntho imakhala yosakayikitsa kuti mudzakumana ndi chirichonse pamene mukugwedezeka, kuposa ming'onoting'ono ing'onozing'ono. Ndipo ndithudi, ndi zovuta zomwe zimapangitsa chidwi chonsecho kukhala chosangalatsa.
The Rapids
Pafupi theka la mapulumulo pamsewu wa rafting wa Zambezi amawerengedwa pa Kalasi yachisanu. Maphunziro asanu ndi limodzi a maphunziro asanu ndi awiri amawerengedwa kuti n'zosatheka kukwera, choncho amasiya zaka zisanu ndi zisanu ndizovuta kwambiri zomwe munthu wamba angachite / ayenera.
Malingana ndi British Canoe Union, kuphulika kwachisanu ndichisanu ndi chimodzi - "zida zovuta kwambiri, zachilendo komanso zachiwawa, mabala akuluakulu, madontho aakulu ndi madandaulo". Mawotchi a tsiku lonse adzagunda maulendo makumi awiri, madontho a tsiku la theka amayesa khumi. Nambala iyi imasinthasintha pang'ono pokhapokha pa msinkhu wa madzi ndi nthawi ya chaka. Kuyambira February mpaka June mtsinjewo ndi "wapamwamba". Kuchuluka kwa madzi akubwera pamwamba pa mathithi a Victoria pa nthawi ino ya chaka ndi kwakukulu kwambiri moti simungakhoze kuwawona iwo atapopera.
Mofulumira aliyense ali ndi dzina, ndipo wotsogolera wanu adzakuuzani momwe zidzakhalire, zomwe muyenera kuyembekezera, ndi kuchepetsa mwayi wanu wokuwombera. Choyamba chanu chimatchedwa "Potcha Mphika". Mukudziwa kuti izi zidzakhala zodabwitsa pamene wotsogoleredwa akunena za kamerayo adzalima pa thanthwe pamene mukupita mofulumira. Kuthamanga ndi maina onga "Njira Yopita Kumwamba", "Kuphimba Zojambula za Mdyerekezi", "Kusamba Madzi", "Chodziwika", idzakupatsanso lingaliro la zomwe zikubwera. "Muncher" adanditenga ulendo wanga womaliza mu mafashoni. Ngati mtsogoleriyo akufunsani ngati mungapite kudera lapamwamba kwambiri, ndikukuuzani kuti mukutsutsa mwatsatanetsatane zoperekazo. Patapita masabata atatu ndikulumbira kuti ndili ndi madzi ena a Zambezi m'mtima mwanga.
Kuti mudziwe zomwe zidzachitike pamene mukukonzekera kupita, yang'anani chithandizo chofunika kwambiri, ndipo dinani pa tabu "Zoona Zonse".
Kodi Mumapita Patali Motani?
Zojambula zamasiku onse zimatha kuyembekezera kuthamanga mtsinje wa 24 km. Nthawi zambiri mukakhala mu raft, (pokhapokha ngati mutatuluka), koma pazitali zina mukhoza kusambira. Ndikukulimbikitsani kwambiri kuti muzitha kuthamanga nthawi zonse mukamayankhula, mphepo yamakono imangokuchepetsani mtsinje ndipo imamva zosangalatsa. Pakati pa aliyense mofulumira pali kutsetsereka kwa mtunda wa mailosi kapena choncho, mwangwiro kuti mutenge mpweya wanu, kuuma ndi kuyankhulana ndi oyandikana nawo. Kwa tsiku lonse mumatha pafupifupi maola asanu ndi limodzi pamtsinje, ora lolowera ndi kutuluka mumtsinje, ndi ola limodzi kufika pochokera ku hotelo yanu kupita ku khola.
Kodi Pali Wina Amene Angagwire Zambezi?
Ana osakwana zaka khumi ndi zisanu (15) sangathe kukwera madzi otsika kumtunda wa Zambezi, ndiwotchi.
Komanso, muyenera kukhala okwanira kuti mutulukemo ndi kutuluka mumtsinje, ndizowona ndipo ndizotentha kwambiri. Anthu ambiri amapeza kukwera mkati ndi / kapena kutuluka mumtsinje kuti akhale gawo lovuta kwambiri la tsiku! Muyenera kukhala okonzekera kuti mutha kukwera pang'onopang'ono mukamawombera. Simukusowa kuti muzisambira, koma muyenera kukhala omasuka m'madzi.
Kodi Mumakangana Ndi Ndani?
Bwato lirilonse liri ndi luso lodziwika bwino komanso lothandizira lothandizira rafting limene limakupangitsani kuyenda mofulumira. Zolemba zachitetezo zimakhala bwino ndipo iwe ndi anthu ena oyendetsa galimotoyo mudzachita masewera olimbitsa thupi ndikupulumutsana ngati mutakhala pambali. Wokwera kayaker adzakhala pafupi ndi dera lanu kuti apulumuke ndipo adzakuthandizani kuti mubwererenso kumtunda wanu mukagwa mumadzi. Wina wa kayaker adzakutsatirani tsiku lomwe muli kamera ya digital ndi kamera yamakanema (mwakugula kugula kumapeto kwa ulendo). Zokwera kwambiri zidzanyamula anthu 4-8 aliyense ali ndi paddle m'manja. (Ngati simukufuna kupita kumsasa, ndizo kusankha, koma funsani musanayambe ulendo wanu). Chimodzi mwa zinthu zazikulu za ulendo wopita ku rafting ndi anthu omwe mumagwirizanitsa nawo. Zolinga za moyo wonse zingapangidwe pamene mukulimbana ndi mtundu uwu wa madzi oyera.
Nthawi Yabwino Yopambana ndi Zambezi
Mukhoza kuyendetsa madzi mumtsinje wa Middle Zambezi chaka chonse, madzi amakhala otentha komanso mvula imakhala yofulumira. Madzi otsikira pansi, madzi ambiri amadziwika kwambiri. Choncho nthawi yabwino yokwera kwa anthu omwe amakonda chisangalalo chowonjezereka ndi kuyambira August mpaka February. Madontho akulowa m'matumba ena ali ovuta kwambiri ndipo mwayi wanu wozembera ndi wapamwamba. Koma kuthamanga ndi mbali imodzi yosangalatsa. Ndipo pali miyala yochepa yoonekera poyera, kotero pamene flip ndi yochititsa chidwi, ndipo ndime zanu zamkati zimatsuka bwino, palibe ngozi yowonongeka nokha pa thanthwe. Ngati madzi akukwera kwambiri, nthawi zina mwezi wa March / April, mphutsi sizidzatha, choncho fufuzani ndi rafting kampani musanapite (onani m'munsimu).
Kodi Ndingatani Kuti Ndibweretse Ulendo Wosakaniza?
Udindo wa kulimba mtima ndi chisangalalo ndi zofunika. Mudzafunikanso nsapato zabwino, nsalu yoteteza dzuwa, komanso zovala zomwe simukufuna kuzikweza kapena kusambira. Bweretsani chotukuka chomwe mungathe kuchikongoletsa ngati mwaphonya kadzutsa. Musabweretse kamera, mumakhala otanganidwa kwambiri kuti musatenge zithunzi ndipo mukhoza kutaya kamera yanu yamadzi, choncho ingogula zithunzi kumapeto. Wojambula zithunzi ndi gawo la phukusi lirilonse la rafting ndipo akukwera pamtunda wanu mumtsinje wa kayak.

Komanso, anthu a ku Zimbabwe akhala akuyenda mofulumira kwambiri ndipo angagwiritse ntchito ndalama zowonongeka kuposa Zambia. Koma werengani ubwino ndi kudziletsa pansi ndikupanga malingaliro anu.
Tsiku limodzi la Zimbabwe / day full rafting maulendo ayamba kumayambiriro m'mawa, kunyamula kawirikawiri kudzakhala pamaso pa 7am. Ndibwino kuti mutenge mtsinjewo komanso kuti muzisangalatsa kubwerera ku hotelo yanu kumapeto kwa tsiku ndi nthawi yopuma, kupuma kapena kupita ku sitima ya sundowner. Koma mukufuna kuonetsetsa kuti mudye musanakunyamule, choncho funsani hotelo yanu kuti ikunyamule chakudya cham'mawa, kapena kuti mugulitse pazitsulo zina usiku. Kulowera ndi kutulukamo mumtsinje ku Zimbabwe ndikumayenda kovuta. Ngati muli ndi mawondo ofooka, kapena simuli oyenerera, yesetsani kuyang'ana ku Zambia. Ndimakonda kusangalala ndi chiwongolero, makamaka popeza pali chimbudzi chozizira cha Zambezi chikudikirira pamwamba pa mphepo, ndipo malingaliro ndi opambana!
Kuwombera kumtunda kwa Zambia kumakhala kosavuta kwambiri musanayambe ntchitoyi. Kutenga kuli pafupi 8 koloko, kotero pali nthawi ya kadzutsa, ndipo ngati mutasankha raft full day, ndiye pali ngakhale galimoto galimoto kutuluka kuchokera pamphepete pamapeto. Tsiku lonse kumbali ya Zambia kumatanthauza kuti mubwerere ku hotelo yanu pafupi 5pm, kotero palibe nthawi yoti muchite ntchito ina (ngakhale mutatopa kwambiri panthawiyo). Dothi la masiku makumi asanu ndi limodzi liyenera kuchoka pamphuno, kotero kwa ena ndibwino kuti muchite tsiku lonse kuti muteteze!
