MSIMU WA NYUMBU KUZALIANA KWAWAVUTA WATALII NA WATAFITI WENGI HIFADHI YA TAIFA YA SERENGETI.

WATALII na watafiti 16,500 wa masuala ya wanyamapori kutoka mataifa mbalimbali duniani wamefurika katika Hifadhi ya Taifa Serengeti, kushuhudia tukio la aina yake la nyumbu zaidi ya 8,000 kuzaliwa kwa siku, katika kipindi cha wiki sita.

Nyumbu hawa, wameanza kuzaliwa mapema mwezi huu na baada ya wiki sita wanatarajiwa kuzaliwa 500,000 lakini kati ya hao, karibu nusu yao, huliwa na wanyama wengine, wakiwapo simba, fisi na mamba kabla ya kukua huku wengine wakifa kutokana na kupotezana na wazazi wao.

Hifadhi hiyo yenye zaidi ya nyumbu 1.5 milioni, ina jumla ya simba 3,000 na fisi 7,500 ambao ndio walaji wakubwa wa nyama katika hifadhi hiyo.

Wakizungumza na waandishi wa habari, baadhi ya watalii hao, toka nchini Ubelgiji, Uingereza, Marekani na Ufaransa, walieleza kuvutiwa na tukio hilo, waliloliita kama “The Great Migration” .

Robert Joseph Raia wa Ubelgiji alisema, wamevutiwa sana na tukio la idadi kubwa ya nyumbu kuzaa kwa wakati mmoja.

“Ni tukio la ajabu duniani kila siku hapa nyumbu zaidi ya 8,000 wanazaliwa na watoto baada tu ya kuzaliwa dakika tano hadi nne,wanatembea”anasema.

Nicky Johnson raia wa Ufaransa, anaeleza kuwa, huu ni mwaka wake wa kwanza kufika Tanzania na Serengeti na alikuwa akiona kwenye mikanda ya video tukio la nyumbu zaidi ya 1.5 milioni kuhama na baadaye wakiwa Serengeti wanavyozaa na kuendelea na safari yao.
“Hili ni tukio zuri, sikuwahi kuliona sehemu yoyote duniani,hili ni jambo la ajabu , Tanzania mnapaswa kujivunia kwa tukio hili”alisema Jonson.

Mkuu wa Idara ya Utalii wa Hifadhi ya Taifa ya Serengeti, Godson Kimaro alisema tofauti na miaka ya nyuma mwaka huu kuanzia Februari Mosi hadi Februari 24, jumla ya watalii 10,621 toka nje ya nchi wamefika Serengeti kushuhudia nyumbu wakizaliwa.

Kimaro alisema katika kipindi hiki pia kuna Watanzania 5,815 wametembelea hifadhi, ikiwa pia ni ongezeko la zaidi ya asilimia 50 katika kipindi kingine.

Naye Meneja Uhusiano wa Shirika la Hifadhi za Taifa (Tanapa) Pascal Shelutete alisema Tanapa kuanzia mwaka jana, imeanza kulitangaza kimataifa tukio la nyumbu kuingia nchini, kuzaliana na kuondoka ili kuwavutia watalii.
Shelutete alitoa mwito kufika kuona maajabu hayo.

Hifadhi hiyo yenye zaidi ya nyumbu 1.5 milioni, ina jumla ya simba 3,000 na fisi 7,500 ambao ndio walaji wakubwa wa nyama katika hifadhi hiyo.

UJANGILI WACHAFUA SIFA YA TANZANIA KWA NCHI ZA ULAYA NA ASIA.

Na Anthony Mayunga-Arusha.

Februari 17,2013.

SERIKALI ya Tanzania inahusishwa na vitendo vya ujangili na uuzaji wa meno ya tembo nje ya nchi.

Waziri wa Maliasili na Utalii Balozi Khamisi Kagasheki akiongea na waandishi wa habari mara baada ya kumaliza mkutano wake na wadau wa sekta ya utalii kwenye ukumbi wa hoteli ya Mount Meru jijini Arusha alisema tatizo hilo limeichafua nchi.

Alisema kwa nchi za Marekani na barani Asia sifa ya Tanzania kwa suala la ujangili ni mbaya kwa kuwa inahusishwa na vitendo hivyo vinavyodaiwa kufanywa na baadhi ya watu wa ndani na nje ya nchi.

“Hatuwezi kukubali kubeba sifa mbaya hiyo.. wanatusema sana wenzetu huko nje…hata wadau wa sekta ya utalii kwenye kikao wamesema…wakihusisha baadhi ya watendaji wa serikali na mtandao huo”alisema.

Kagasheki alisema mtandao wa ujangili ni mkubwa tena unatumia silaha za kivita ambazo zinatishia uhai wa askari wa hifadhi hizo na kuwa tayari mkakati wa kuunganisha nguvu za pamoja umekamilika ili kuhakikisha wanatokomeza mtandao huo.

“Ni mtandao mkubwa lakini hautatushinda lazima utokomezwe maana tusipofanya hivyo sifa tulizopata kwa vivutio vyetu kushinda kwenye mashindano ya vivutio bora vya asili Afrika hautakuwa na maana …lazima tulinde raslimali hizi zinazochangia pato kuwa kwa taifa”alibainisha.

Aliwaonya baadhi ya watumishi wanaoshirikiana na wahujumu uchumi kuwa hatua kali zitachukuliwa kwao,huku akisisitiza kuwa wanakusudia kurekebisha sheria ili ziwe kali kwa wanaokamatwa kwenye makosa hayo.

Kuhusu suala la silaha zinazotumiwa na majangili alisema zinatishia usalama wan chi kwa kuwa wanatumia silaha kali za kivita ambazo zinatakiwa kudhibitiwa.

Alikwenda mbali zaidi na kudai kuwa idara yake imejipanga kusafisha watendaji wasiokuwa waadilifu kwa kuwa baadhi ya wadau wa sekta ya utalii wameishapoteza imani na idara hiyo kutokana na urasimu wa watendaji kitendo alichosema atakikomesha mara moja.

Februari 11 mwaka huu Vivutio vya Mlima Kilimanjaro,Bonde la Ngorongoro na Hifadhi ya Taifa ya Serengeti zilitangazwa kuwa washindi kwa vivutio vya maajabu saba ya asili.

Mbali na hivyo pia mto Nile kwa Uganda,maporomoko ya Zambia,Jangwa la Sahara vilikuwa miongoni mwa vilivyoshinda ,mashindano yaliyoandaliwa na shirika la Seven Natural Wonders of Afrika la Taxes Nchini Marekani ,ambapo Waziri Mkuu Mizengo Pinda alikabidhi tuzo kwa washindi.
