ʻAʻole kānalua nā poʻe o ka ecotourism a me ka nani kūlohelohe i kahi o ʻApelika ka Drakensberg Mountains kahi i kū ai; moe maoli ka poʻe huakaʻi āpau i ka kipa ʻana i kēia wahi. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā kuahiwi i ka ʻōnaehana i loko o ka pā Drakensberg o ka inoa like, kūpono ma lalo o ka pale o UNESCO.
Kaulana nā hiʻohiʻona ʻāina a me nā mea kūlohelohe o kēia wahi no ko lākou kū hoʻokahi a me ke kiʻi. Pono ke kipa ʻana i nā mauna ʻo Drakensberg i kekahi mau lilo a me ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana, akā ʻo ke koho ʻana i kēia wahi mākaʻikaʻi ma ke ʻano he huakaʻi huakaʻi a i ʻole kahi wā hoʻomaha piha e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai i kahi ʻike kupaianaha a poina ʻole hoʻi.
ʻO nā ʻano ʻāina a me nā kālaihonua, flora a me nā holoholona
Aia nā piko mauna a me nā wahi nui o nā mauna Drakensberg ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ka ʻAinapuni ʻApelika, e noho ana ma nā ʻāpana o Swaziland, ʻApelika Hema a me ke aupuni-puni o Lesotho. Me ka lōʻihi o ka ʻōnaehana o 1169 km a me ka laulā o 732 km, ʻo kona ʻāpana āpau he 402 tausani km2.
ʻO kahi ākea nui o nā mauna Drakensberg e noho ʻia e kahi mauna kiʻekiʻe monolithic me kahi awelika o 2000 m, me nā pali kūpikina a me nā pali ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka ʻāina nui a me nā kuahiwi puʻu ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, e kuhikuhi ana i ka moana. ʻO nā kuahiwi e puni ana ka waiwai o nā minelala, e like me ka lānahu, tin, manganese a me nā metala waiwai.
ʻO ke kōkua, nā kūlana aniau a me nā kahakai o nā mauna Drakensberg i ʻike ʻia e ka ʻokoʻa. ʻO ka ʻāpana kiʻekiʻe o ka mauna Basuto ke nānā aku ʻaʻohe ola a maloʻo, no ka mea, i ka hui pū ʻana me ke anilā ʻo ʻAmelika, hāʻule nā heleleʻi a pau a me ka nui o ka ua. ʻO ka lae kiʻekiʻe loa o Drakensberg ʻo Mount Thabana-Ntlenyana (3482 m), aia ma Lesotho, kahi piko i haʻi ʻia me ka haʻahaʻa a ʻaʻole kū i waho i waho o nā piko kokoke e uhi ʻia me ka mauʻu, nā mea kau pōhaku a me nā nāhelehele liʻiliʻi. Akā aia ia ma 4 km wale nō mai ke kaʻe o ka lepe a nānā kupaianaha i nā lewa a me nā ana honua mai kēlā ʻaoʻao. Eia kekahi, kea ka mokulele o ka ʻōnaehana e nā ʻanuʻu pali i hana ʻia e ka ʻaʻai.
Ua uhi ʻia nā pali hikina o nā mauna Drakensberg me nā ʻano mea kanu like ʻole:
- i nā wahi me kahi kiʻekiʻe a hiki i 1200 m - nāhelehele mahana a me nā ulu mauʻu me ka nui o nā nila, nā lianas a me nā epiphytes;
- mai ka 1200 a i ka 2000 m - nā mānoanoa o nā hua, xerophytes a me nā lāʻau ʻoʻoi;
- ma luna o 2000 m - nā kula mauna (alpine tundra), hui ʻia me nā wahi pōhaku.
I loko nō o ka nui o ka lā a kokoke i ke Kai ʻInikia, uhi ʻia ka piko o Drakenberg me ka hau i ka hoʻoilo, kahi e hoʻohālikelike ai i nā kūlana o ka wā i ka wāwae. ʻAʻole moe ka uhi o ka hau no ka manawa lōʻihi, akā maikaʻi ʻole ke ʻano o ke aniau i nā mauna mauna i kēia manawa. 80% o ka heluna heleleʻi e hāʻule ana ma waena o ʻOkakopa a me Malaki, i kūlike me ka wā ulu o nā mea kanu.
Ma nā panalāʻau o Lesotho a me nā palena i kēia manawa, pinepine, akā e hekili ana nā hekili pōkole me nā wā o ka hana noe. Hoʻomaopopo ʻia e mālama ʻia kona mau palena i loko o nā palena maopopo - 3 km mai ka enclave, me ka neʻe ʻole i nā ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe. I ke kau kau, ʻeha kekahi mau wahi i ka maloʻo, ʻo nā poʻe ʻē aʻe i ka makani pinepine a ikaika hoʻi. E like me nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe āpau ma ʻApelika, ua loli kūpono ka flora o kēia ʻōnaehana mauna i nā hoʻololi koke i nā kūlana kūwaho.
Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka holoholona e ka helu nui o endemics a waiwai nui ia. Pale ke kaulahao o nā mauna i ka neʻe ʻana o nā holoholona, amphibians a me nā manu. ʻO ka antelope lele, eland, redunka e loaʻa ai ma kahi o nā pali āpau. ʻO nā mea ʻē aʻe, e like me ka wildebeest huelo keʻokeʻo, aia ma lalo o ka pale kūikawā o UNESCO a me ka mokuʻāina, no laila, noho lākou i nā wahi paʻa.
I nā wahi i pale ʻia o ka moku ʻo KwaZulu-Natal, ua kākoʻo ʻia nā heluna o nā ʻelepani, nā rhino keʻokeʻo a me nā ʻeleʻele, nā artiodactyls a me nā mea ʻaihue: cheetah, leopadi, ʻīlio hyena. Hiki ke kipa ʻia kekahi mau wahi o nā mālama me ke ʻano he huakaʻi o ka huakaʻi aʻo (ʻaʻole safari). Eia kahi paradaiso no nā kiaʻi manu, no ka mea, he nui nā ʻano manu (ʻōhule ʻōhule, ʻulu ʻumiʻumi, lio lio melemele), aia ma ke kapakai o ka make, e noho wale ma aneʻi.
ʻO nā wahi kūlohelohe maikaʻi loa ma Drakensberg
ʻO nā kiʻi o nā kahakai o ka mauna Drakensberg he mea ʻokoʻa loa ia mai nā savannas ʻApelika a me nā wao akua, nā kahawai me nā piko e piʻi aʻe ana i ka lewa e kuapapa me nā ʻanuʻu basalt paʻa a me nā puʻu i hoʻopuni ʻia. ʻOi aku ka paʻakikī e koho i kahi kiko kikoʻī e kipa ai; inā hiki, e nānā ʻia ka pā mai ka lewa a i ʻole nā ʻaoʻao ʻokoʻa. Nānā ʻia nā manaʻo maikaʻi loa:
Aia ka hapa nui o nā wahi hoihoi a hoihoi i ka panalāʻau o KwaZulu-Natal, ʻApelika Hema, 4 mau hola mai Johannesburg a i ʻole 3 mai Durban. Inā ʻaʻohe hiki ke kipa ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o nā hui huakaʻi i hoʻonohonoho ʻia, hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻea i laila e kāu kaʻa ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka huakaʻi ʻana ma nā ala mauna kiʻekiʻe me ka ʻole o kahi jeep a me nā ʻike kūpono hiki ʻole. ʻO ke ala palekana loa e ʻike ai i ka nani kūlohelohe i ke kiʻekiʻe ma ka hele wāwae ʻana.
Koi ʻia kekahi mau alahele i ka ʻae mai nā luna kūloko, a ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā wahi kūikawā no ka hoʻomaha a me ka noho pō ʻana. ʻAe ʻia ka noho ʻana o ka pō ma nā wahi kiʻekiʻe o ke kuahiwi, ʻaʻole naʻe e koi ʻia ma muli o ka makaʻu o ka hoʻololi nui i nā ʻano anilā. Pono nā mea aloha i ka ecotourism a me ka mauna e hoʻomanaʻo i ka mea nui o ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi visa Lesotho (ʻo nā ala ʻoluʻolu loa e holo i nā wahi palena). ʻO ka palapala ʻae pili, inā pono, hoʻopuka ʻia ma ka ʻāina ʻo ʻApelika Hema, akā he manawa a me kālā ka manawa. ʻO ka manaʻo he lawa ka visa i ʻApelika Hema e komo i ka panalāʻau o ka enclave ua hewa.
Nā hoʻonanea ʻē aʻe
ʻO ka Drakensberg National Parks kahi home o nā hale liʻiliʻi he nui, nā hōkele a me nā wahi hoʻomoana e hoʻolako i nā wahi noho me nā pae ʻoluʻolu ʻokoʻa. Hoʻopili pū lākou i nā mea mākaʻikaʻi me nā lawelawe leʻaleʻa hou, ʻo ia hoʻi:
- ʻO nā huakaʻi alakaʻi ʻoihana ma nā ala māka o Drakensberg.
- Holo lio.
- Ka lawaiʻa ʻana i ka iʻa nui a me nā iʻa ʻē aʻe i nā kahawai kuahiwi a me nā loko o ka paka. Ma waho aʻe o ka lawaiʻa maʻamau, aʻo ʻia nā mākaʻikaʻi pehea e lawaiʻa ai me kahi lira. Mahalo i ka transparency kiʻekiʻe o ka wai a me ka nui o nā iʻa, hiki i nā mea hoʻomaka ke kū i kēia hana.
- ʻO nā huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi me ka helikopa. Hōʻoia ka nui o nā kiʻi a me nā ʻano ʻē i kēlā me kēia wā, ʻikea koke nā piko mai ka haze e hoʻohiwahiwa i nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi a me nā ʻike maopopo o nā pali kilomika a me nā kahawai.
- Pāʻani kolepa ma nā māmala emerald o nā wāwae.
Paipai mākou iā ʻoe e nānā iā Mount Elbrus.
I loko o ka hale mālama Giant's Castle aia nā ana i waho loa loa e kipa ʻia me nā kiʻi pōhaku. ʻO ka helu nui o nā kiʻi kahiko ma nā ana e pili ana mai 40 tausani. Ke pā aku nei nā haku mele i ko lākou ʻano a me ka palekana. Pono e noʻonoʻo ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ʻo nā hiʻohiʻona o ka ʻimi holoholona, ka hulahula ʻana a me ka hakakā ʻana ua hoʻopuehu ʻia i loko o ka wahi, loaʻa kekahi o nā kaha kiʻi i nā wahi ākea, pale ʻia e nā pōhaku. Hiki ke kaupalena ʻia ke komo ʻana i ka mea kahiko o lākou; ʻo ke ala ʻoi loa loa e kipa aku ai iā lākou e hui pū me ka hui huakaʻi.
