Aia nā ʻelepani ma nā wahi a pau o ka moʻolelo o Sri Lanka - i loko o nā luakini, i nā moʻolelo aliʻi, ma ka hae - a makemake maoli nā huakaʻi e hālāwai me lākou. ʻO ka nūhou maikaʻi, ʻo nā ʻike elepani maikaʻi loa o ka mokupuni e hana ʻia ma nā ʻōlelo a nā holoholona, ma ka nahele, kahi e nānā ai i nā kuʻi e holo ana i kēlā me kēia manawa. Hāʻawi nā pāka e like me Udawalawe, Minneriya a me Yala i nā holoholona e ʻai ana, ʻauʻau a hele i nā ala me nā kaulahao ʻole a ʻaʻohe hōʻike.
ʻOi aku ka nui o ka koho ma mua o ka mea ma mua. ʻO nā holo, nā hōʻike pena kiʻi a me nā wahi kahi e kū ai nā ʻelepani i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma kahi hoʻokahi e hoʻopaʻa kālā iā lākou iho mai ka pili pono ʻana e hōʻino i nā holoholona, ʻoiai ʻo nā papahana hānai a me ka ʻauʻau ʻana me ka hana hoʻōla maopopo he koho lua kūpono ke ʻike ʻia ke kālā. Hōʻike kēia alakaʻi pehea e haʻi aku ai i nā mea ʻelua, ka mea e nīnau ai ma mua o ka uku ʻana, a no ke aha e hoʻololi ai kahi jeep pilikino hiki ke kau i hope i kahi puaʻa i kahi ʻike i kahi hālāwai.
Nānā i nā Beats Riding i kēlā me kēia manawa
ʻO ka hoʻāʻo maʻalahi loa no nā wahi elephant: manuahi nā holoholona e neʻe, a ke hana nei lākou iā lākou iho? Holo ʻokoʻa nā ʻike ʻāhiu ma kahi paka aupuni. ʻO nā kaulahao, nā kū i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, nā hana hoʻopunipuni a me nā manamana wāwae i pena ʻia ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻike. E koho i nā ʻike kahi i hoʻonohonoho ai ka ʻelepani i nā ʻōlelo a loaʻa kālā ke kipa i ka ʻāina e noho ai.
Aia nā ʻelepani ma nā wahi a pau o ka moʻolelo o Sri Lanka - i loko o nā luakini, i nā moʻolelo aliʻi, ma ka hae - a makemake maoli nā huakaʻi e hālāwai me lākou. ʻO ka nūhou maikaʻi: loaʻa nā ʻike elepani maikaʻi loa o ka mokupuni ma nā ʻōlelo a nā holoholona, ma ka nahele, kahi e nānā ai i nā kuʻi e holo ana i kēlā me kēia manawa.
ʻO nā pāka aupuni e like me Udawalawe, Minnerya a me Yala ke kūlana gula: nā holoholona e ʻai ana, ʻauʻau ʻauʻau a me nā ala hele ʻole me nā kaulahao ʻole, ʻaʻohe hōʻike a ʻaʻohe hoʻopili koi. ʻO nā papahana hānai a me ka ʻauʻau ʻana me ka wehewehe pono ʻana i ka hana mālama ʻana he koho lua kūpono ke holo akaka.
Ke koho ʻana i ka ʻike kūpono
- Makemake ʻoe i nā ʻike hihiu ma safari - koho nā holoholona i ka wā a pehea ʻoe e ʻike ai iā lākou.
- Hoʻokuʻu i nā kaʻa, nā hōʻike pena kiʻi a me nā wahi e kū ai nā ʻelepani i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma kahi hoʻokahi.
- E nīnau pehea e loaʻa kālā ai nā holoholona i hoʻopakele ʻia a me ka nui o ka ʻāina e hele ai lākou.
- E mālama i ka mamao ma ka nahelehele: ʻo kahi jeep ma waena o ʻoe a me ka elepani bipi ka lula, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo.
He ʻokoʻa hou ka jeep pilikino - hiki iā ʻoe ke kau i hope ma kahi puaʻa no iwakālua mau minuke ma mua o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana, a heluhelu kāu alakaʻi i ka ʻōlelo kino ma mua o ka hana ʻana o ka ʻelepani.
ʻO nā hola āu e hoʻomanaʻo ai, ʻaʻole i paʻi ʻia ma ka tiketi: ʻo ka hele ʻana i ka hale pule, ka ʻaina awakea me ka ʻohana, ka ʻelepani mua e puka i waho o nā kumulāʻau ma kāna papa manawa ponoʻī.
Ke neʻe nei nā lā a puni ka lā. Wehe nā ʻīpuka o Sigiriya i ka hola 6 AM a ʻo nā hola mua ʻelua e hahau i ka wela a me ka lehulehu, ʻoi aku ka mālie o nā luakini ma waena o nā puja, a hoʻomaka nā kīhini kauhale e kuke i ka wā e maʻalili ai ke ahiahi. Hiki ke hoʻololi i nā manawa hoʻomaka e like me ka piʻi ʻana a me ka wela, akā mālama kēlā me kēia hale pule i kona lole lole i kēlā me kēia hola āu e hiki ai.
Manaʻo kōkua no nā lā i waho
ʻO kekahi mau ʻoluʻolu a me nā maʻamau e mālama maʻalahi a hoʻokipa ʻia kēlā me kēia ʻike:
- E hali i kahi sarong māmā a i ʻole ʻulaʻula no nā kipa luakini - uhi ʻia nā poʻohiwi a me nā kuli ma kēlā me kēia hale pule.
- E hoʻomaka i ka piʻi a me nā kahua o waho i ka wehe ʻana, ma mua o ka hiki ʻana mai o ka wela a me ka lā.
- E lawe mai i ka namu, ka pāpale a me ke kālā no kekahi mea i kūʻai pololei ʻia mai kahi ʻohana.
- E mālama i kahi mamao mai nā holoholona hihiu, ʻoiai mai kahi jeep - hoʻonohonoho nā holoholona i ka laulā.
- E hōʻoia i nā manawa hoʻomaka i ka pō ma mua, ʻoi aku hoʻi no ka luakini mua a me ke kakahiaka piʻi.
ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o nā ʻike me nā poʻe e noho nei a mālama i ka lā e like me kāu. Hoʻonohonoho nā hoʻonohonoho pilikino i kāu wikiwiki, holo nā uku hoʻopau ʻole a hiki i ʻelua lā ma mua, ʻaʻohe mea i uku ʻia a hiki i ka lā maoli - e waiho manuahi iā ʻoe e leʻaleʻa.
Nīnau pinepine
ʻO nā paka ʻāina ke koho maikaʻi loa - ʻo Udawalawe no nā holoholona hilinaʻi, ʻo Minnerya a me Kaudulla no nā hōʻuluʻulu wā maloʻo, a ʻo Yala no nā ʻelepani me nā pāʻani nui ʻē aʻe. Kākoʻo ka ʻike ʻana i ka ʻāhiu i ka mālama ʻana a ʻaʻohe hoʻopili, kaʻa a i ʻole nā hana hoʻokani.
ʻAe - pono nā holo lio a me nā hōʻikeʻike i nā holoholona i kaulahao a hana pinepine ʻia paha. ʻO nā koho etika he jeep safaris, ka nānā ʻana mai kahi mamao a me nā hale kapu kaulana e hoʻokuʻu ai i nā elepani e holo, ʻauʻau a ʻai i kā lākou papa hana.
Ke nānā nei ka lima o nā hale kapu maoli i nā elepani mai kahi mamao aku me ka ʻole o nā kaʻa, nā hoʻopunipuni a me nā hōʻike ʻauʻau. E ʻimi i nā wahi e kaupalena ana i ka lehulehu, e mālama i nā ʻelepani ma kahi ākea a wehewehe i kā lākou moʻolelo hoʻopakele ma ke akea - ʻaʻole ia he ʻāpana o ka holo kaʻa.
ʻO nā pākaʻāina e like me Udawalawe, Minneriya a me Yala e mālama i nā holoholona holo kaʻawale hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā mai kahi jeep ma kahi mamao mahalo. ʻO nā kapa muliwai kokoke i nā palena o ke kūlanakauhale, hoʻokipa pū kekahi elepani i ka pō, ʻike maikaʻi ʻia me kahi alakaʻi kūloko.
ʻO nā holo kaʻa, nā kiʻi pena, nā kiʻi ʻauʻau ʻauʻau a me nā kiʻi ʻauʻau ʻauʻau pono nā mea a pau e hoʻomaʻamaʻa e hōʻino i ka holoholona. Inā hoʻokomo ka hōʻike i ka ʻelepani i ka hana hoʻokō no ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi, e hoʻokuʻu iā ia a koho i ka nānā ʻana.
Ke ʻimi nei i kahi mea ʻē aʻe? E nānā i nā nīnau maʻamau a pau.
