Kilimanjaro ili kumpoto chakum'mawa kwa Tanzania, pafupi ndi malire a Kenya. Ili pamtunda wamakilomita 140 kumwera kwa Nairobi (likulu la Kenya), ndi makilomita 500 kumpoto chakum'mawa kwa Dodoma, likulu la Tanzania.

Kuti mufike ku Kilimanjaro muyenera kuwuluka ku Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA). Pali maulendo angapo achindunji ochokera ku Europe (kuchokera ku Amsterdam ndi Zurich) ndi Middle East (Doha ndi Turkey). Koma mwayi ndiwakuti mudzafunika kuwuluka kudzera komwe mukupita ku Africa - Dar es Salaam, Arusha ndi Nairobi ndiye kubetcha kwanu kopambana.

Kukwera kwa phiri la Kilimanjaro kudzachokera ku umodzi mwa matauni awiri: Arusha, kumwera chakumadzulo kwa phirili, ndi Moshi, kumwera kwenikweni. Zimatenga pafupifupi ola limodzi kuti mufike ku Moshi ndi mphindi 80 kuti mufike ku Arusha. Njira yodziwika bwino yoyendera ndi kudzera pa taxi kapena shuttle yobwereketsa - nthawi zambiri, komabe, woyendetsa alendo amakumana nanu pa eyapoti.

Phiri la Kilimanjaro lili ku Kilimanjaro National Park. Ndi mtunda wa makilomita 300 kumwera kwa equator - ndipo Tanzania ndi yotentha kwambiri, ndipo nyengo yamvula komanso nyengo yowuma imakhazikika pa nyengo yotentha. Ndiye nthawi yabwino yokwera Kilimanjaro ndi iti? Tiyeni tiwone nyengo ndi nyengo yokwera Kilimanjaro.

Tanzania imakhala ndi nyengo ziwiri zamvula: yaifupi mu Novembala mpaka pakati pa Disembala komanso nyengo yamvula yayitali kuyambira Marichi mpaka Meyi. Njira za pa Phiri la Kilimanjaro zimakhala zonyowa komanso zamatope mkati mwa nyengo zimenezi. Ngati simusamala za nyengo ya monsoonal komanso zambiri za kukhala nokha, ndiye kuti mungakonde nthawizi kukwera chifukwa pali anthu ochepa kwambiri. Ngakhale n'zotheka kukhala wovuta kwambiri.

July mpaka October ndi nthawi pachimake pa phiri, makamaka pamene likugwirizana ndi maholide European chilimwe. Zenera ili la nthawi ndi louma komanso lozizira kuposa miyezi ya Khrisimasi, koma konzekerani mausiku ozizira. Ngati mukufuna kusangalala ndi nyengo yofananira, koma ndi anthu ochepa, ndiye kuti Pakati pa Meyi mpaka Juni ndi nthawi yabwino kwa inu. Kwatsala pang'ono tchuthi, komabe nyengo yokwera pachimake.

December mpaka February ndi otentha kwambiri ndipo amaoneka bwino. Nyengo yayifupi yamvula imatha mpaka mu Disembala ngakhale kuti ingakhale yonyowa. Miyezi iyi imagwirizananso ndi tchuthi cha Khrisimasi kotero kuti ikhoza kukhala yotanganidwa.

Pali njira zisanu ndi ziwiri zopita ku Kilimanjaro, iliyonse yomwe imatenga masiku asanu ndi asanu ndi anayi. Komabe, ndikofunikira kwambiri kuti musathamangire kukwera chifukwa kungachepetse chipambano chanu! Chifukwa cha izi ndi chifukwa muyenera kuonetsetsa nthawi kuti thupi lanu lizifika pamalo okwera.

Kukwera pang'onopang'ono, kosasunthika kumapatsa thupi lanu nthawi yoti muzolowere kumtunda - komwe kulibe okosijeni wochepa m'mlengalenga - ngati mutathamangira pamwamba, muli pachiwopsezo chodwala matenda okwera komanso kuchoka m'phirimo.

Kukwera phiri la Kilimanjaro si ntchito yaing’ono. Itha kuonedwa kuti ndi imodzi mwazosavuta kwambiri pamisonkhano isanu ndi iwiri, koma ikadali phiri la 5895m. Onyamula katundu adzakhalapo kuti anyamule zida zanu, koma mudzavalabe chikwama cha tsikuli chomwe chili ndi zakudya zonse, madzi ndi zovala zomwe mukufuna tsikulo.

Mutha kudumpha masiku a acclimatization ndikukwera mwachangu pa Kilimanjaro. Koma izi sizovomerezeka. Matenda okwera si nthabwala paphiri.

Mu 1991, boma la Tanzania ndi Kilimanjaro National Park adakhazikitsa lamulo loti onse oyenda paulendo ayenera kutsagana ndi wowongolera olembetsedwa komanso wovomerezeka. Ma Trekkers akuyenera kulembetsa ku Parks Authority asananyamuke, ndi kulowa mu msasa uliwonse - amaletsedwa kumisasa yachirengedwe kapena kugwiritsa ntchito mapanga pobisalira. Oyang'anira mapiri adzaonetsetsa kuti malamulowa akutsatiridwa.

Muyeneranso kulipira ndalama zolowera paki kuti mukwere Kilimanjaro. Izi zingawoneke ngati zokwezeka, koma zimaphatikizapo chindapusa chosungira - kuthandiza kulipira mtengo wokonza - zolipiritsa zapamisasa, komanso ndalama zopulumutsira (popanda kutero). Mutha kuyembekezera kulipira mozungulira £600-£800 pamalipiro a paki, kutengera nthawi yaulendo wanu. Izi ziyenera kuperekedwa kwa oyang'anira pasadakhale kudzera mwa woyendera alendo, m'malo mongodziyimira pawokha.

Mosakayikira, maulendo a Kilimanjaro angakhale okwera mtengo. Osati kokha ndalama zolipirira paki yapadziko lonse, komanso muyenera kulipira kalozera wanu. Oyendetsa maulendo ambiri amagwiritsa ntchito onyamula katundu kuti athandize kunyamula zipangizo zolemetsa za msasa, komanso antchito ena othandizira.

Kukwera Kilimanjaro nthawi zambiri kumawononga ndalama pakati pa £1500 ndi £4500, kutengera kutalika kwa njira yanu ndi woyendetsa alendo omwe mumagwiritsa ntchito. Sitingakulimbikitseni kuti musankhe njira yotsika mtengo yomwe mungapeze posaka maupangiri oyenda - mumalipira kuti mudziwe zambiri ndipo izi zikutanthauza kuchita zinthu moyenera. Zitsogozo zabwino zimatsimikizira zida zoyenera, zokumana nazo nyengo ndi maulendo apaulendo, chakudya chabwino, komanso nthawi yabwino yolola kupuma ndi kusintha.

Ngakhale kuti Kilimanjaro imatengedwa ngati 'phiri lokwera', musanyengedwe kuganiza kuti n'zosavuta. Kukonzekera ndikofunikira, makamaka ngati muli panjira yaifupi kapena njira yovuta. Onyamula amatha kunyamula chakudya ndi zida zophikira komanso njira yanu yogona. Makampani ambiri oyenda maulendo ali ndi zida zambiri zotsalira ngati mukufunikira, koma monga nthawi zonse, zida zoyesedwa ndikuyesedwa ndi zamtengo wapatali. Nyamulani momwe mungayendetsere maulendo ataliatali amasiku ambiri, kuphatikiza izi:

• Nsapato zabwino zopanda madzi komanso zopumira komanso masokosi ambiri okhuthala. Izi ziyenera kuyesedwa ndikuyesedwa musanayambe kukwera chifukwa kupeza kuti ndizosayenera komanso zosasangalatsa masiku awiri ndi chinthu chomaliza chomwe mukufuna.
• Chikwama chabwino chosalowa madzi ndi thumba la hydration - lalikulu lokwanira kusunga zinthu zanu (kamera, tochi yakumutu, zovala ndi chakudya chomwe mumapatsidwa patsikulo).
• Kutentha kwausiku wozizira (ndi masiku ena) kuyenda.
• Mathalauza osalowa madzi/opanda mphepo ndi chipolopolo, ngakhale mukuyenda munyengo zowuma - nyengo imatha kuzizira mwachangu.
• Zovala zowuma mwachangu ndi mathalauza. Mathalauza a zip-off ndi abwino kwa masiku oyamba ndi omaliza aulendo.
• Zovala zaubweya / pansi zimafunika kuti kutentha kutsika. N'zosavuta kuiwala zinthu zimenezi uku kutuluka thukuta m'munsi mwa phiri m'dziko lotentha. Pamwamba pake amatha kuzizira mpaka -30 digiri Celsius.
• Beanie ndi magolovesi.
• Sunscreen ndi magalasi ndi chimodzi chimene anthu ambiri amaiwala. Mutha kuwululidwa masiku ena ndipo simukufuna kuwotchedwa nthawi yanu paphiri.
• Kusintha kofunda kwa zovala zausiku ndi lingaliro labwino. Amakuthandizani kuti mukhale omasuka ndikusokoneza nthawi yomwe mumayenera kuvala muzovala zanu zoyenda.
• Mofanana ndi ulendo uliwonse, bweretsani zimbudzi zofunika kwambiri monga mswachi ndi mankhwala otsukira m'mano, koma osati kwambiri moti mumavutika kunyamula katundu amene mwanyamula.
• Mutu wamutu wa madzulo ndi usiku wa msonkhano.
• Zokhwasula-khwasula - ndi zambiri za izo! Mipiringidzo yamagetsi ndi njira yopepuka, yopatsa mphamvu kwambiri.
• Chida chaching'ono chachipatala chokhala ndi zofunikira monga pulasitala ndi khungu lachiwiri chingakhale chothandiza kwambiri. Matuza ndiye chinthu chomaliza chomwe mungafune!
