Zviratidzo zveGeological izvozvi ndidzo nyowani dzinouya dzemagineti muNorth Tanzania uye zvimwe zvikamu muEast Africa uko kunowanikwa nzvimbo dzinoyevedza.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area iri kuchamhembe kweTanzania ndiyo imwe yenzvimbo dzinozivikanwa dzinokwezva vashanyi muEast Africa, uko maficha ezve geological akawedzera kune kukosha kwezvigadzirwa zvevashanyi zviripo, kunze kwemhuka dzesango.

Aya maficha e geological akave pamwe akasimbiswa seNgorongoro Lengai Geopark mukati mevapfumi vemusango Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Inonyanya kukwezva pakati penzvimbo idzi dze geological igomo Oldonyo Lengai - gomo rinoputika muTanzania. Anotungamira akatyaira pamateru egomo padhuze kuti anditendese kuti ndione pakona yaro yakaita kunge koni painosvipira moto wayo painoputika.

"Gomo raMwari" mumutauro wechiMaasai, Oldonyo Lengai rakasarudzika uye rinonakidza kwazvo strato-volcano iyo iri pamusoro peEast Africa Rift Valley.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA) manejimendi yave kuvandudza dzimba dzekushanya nedzimwe nzvimbo dzevashanyi muGeopark kukwezva vashanyi vazhinji, vekunze nevemuno vashanyi, akadaro NCAA Cultural Heritage Manager, VaJoshua Mwankunda.

"Kuisa mari kuGeopark kunozoita kuti vashanyi vashanyire nzvimbo dzakachengetedzwa dzesango munzvimbo ino yeAfrica kuti vagare kwenguva yakareba", akadaro Mwankunda.

Kubva kumatope ezasi eOldonyo Lengai Volcanic Mountain, mutyairi wangu Patrick neni takafambisa tichishanyira Malanja Depression, inoyevedza geological chimiro mukati meConferensi Nharaunda.

Malanja Kushungurudzika inzvimbo yakanaka uye inoyevedza iri panhengo yekumaodzanyemba yemapani eSerengeti uye kumabvazuva kweNgorongoro Mountain. Kushungurudzika kwakaumbwa nekufamba kwenyika ichienda kumadokero, ichisiya chikamu chekumabvazuva chakashungurudzika.

Vana vechiMaasai vanofudza mombe hombe, imwe neimwe iine mazana mazana maviri embudzi nemakwai, mukati mekushushikana. Huswa hwakasvibirira mukushushikana hunopa mafuro akanaka ezvipfuyo, uyewo tsime remvura yakachena pamucheto wekumaodzanyemba, kune mhuka dzesango, zvipfuyo uye dzimba dzevaMaasai.

Dzimba dzeMaasai dzinoshongedza nzvimbo ino mukati meMalanja Kushungurudzika uye dzinopa zviitiko zvetsika kune vashanyi, zvichipa chiratidzo chehupenyu pakati pevanhu, zvipfuyo nemhuka dzesango; vese vachigovana hunhu hwayo.

Nasera Rock yakadaro inoshamisa geological ficha iyo yandakakwanisa kushanyira. Iyo 50 metres (165) tsoka dzakakwirira inselberg iri kumaodzanyemba kwakadziva kumadokero chikamu cheGol Mountains mukati meNgorongoro Conservation Area.

Iri dombo rakatsvuka riri metamorphic gneiss mukati maro yakanyungudutswa granitic magma yakajowa uye ndokutonhora kuita pink girenayiti. Pakutanga yaipa pekugara kumurume wekutanga.

Mumapako aya, humbowo hwakaratidza kuti munhu wekutanga aigara imomo makore anoda kusvika makumi matatu ezviuru apfuura. Mukati memapako aya, matombo matombo, zvidimbu zvemabhonzo uye zvigadzirwa zvevhu zvakawanikwa.

Olkarien Gorge ndiyo imwe, inoyevedza geological kana nzvimbo yenzvimbo yandakanga ndine rombo rakanaka kushanyira. Iyo yakadzika uye yakatetepa zvakanyanya, anenge makiromita masere pakureba.

Chikova ichi zvakare musha kumazana ehuswa hunobhururuka pamusoro. Maasai vanowana vhudzi ravo rekushongedza ivhu (Okaria) kubva mugoronga iri.

Iyo Ngorongoro Lengai Geopark nhoroondo yegeological yakatanga makore mazana mashanu emamiriyoni apfuura apo granite sand gneiss yakaonekwa muNorth yeGol Mountains uye kuMadokero kutenderedza Lake Eyasi yakaumbwa.

Geopark inonyanya kutarisa kuvaka kushandiswa kwakasimba kweiyo geological nhaka uye zvakasikwa nzvimbo senge zviwanikwa zvekushanya kukwezva vashanyi kuti vashanyire Africa, kunowanikwa zvishamiso zvakasikwa zvakadaro.

Sangano reUnited Nations Dzidzo, Sayenzi neCultural Organisation (UNESCO) rakasarudza Ngorongoro-Lengai senzvimbo yeGeopark muna Kubvumbi 17, 2018 kuve iyo chete yekushanya Geopark mu Africa kumaodzanyemba kweSahara Desert.

Iyo imwe Geopark mu Africa i M'Goun Global Geopark muMorocco. Kune ma161 Geopark pasi rose, munyika makumi mana nesere dzakanyorwa pasi peUNESCO senzvimbo dzenhaka dzepasirese.

Hukuru hweNgorongoro hwakazara, neNgorongoro Crater inovhara nzvimbo yemakiromita mazana maviri nemakumi mashanu, Olmoti Crater 250 mamaira uye Empakai crater masere makiromita.

Ngorongoro- Lengai Geopark parizvino yave kuita chimwe chikonzero chakakosha nei vashanyi vachifanira kuramba vachiungana mumakomo ayo anoputika uye kumusha kune huwandu hwakanyanya hwemutambo mukuru mu Africa.

Geotourism inzira yekushanya yakanangana nekushandiswa kwakasimba kweiyo geological nhaka uye zvakasikwa nzvimbo senge zviwanikwa zvekushanya kukwezva vashanyi, kupa ruzivo rwegeoscience kuruzhinji nevadzidzi uye kukurudzira kukoshesa nekukudziridza pfungwa yenzvimbo uye kukosha kwekuchengetedza.

Geotourism inoshandisa geological nhaka uye kubatana kwayo neecology uye tsika kusimudzira nzvimbo yenzvimbo, senge nharaunda, esthetics, tsika uye kusimudzira kusimudzira kwenharaunda.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority inopa huwandu hwenzvimbo dzekudyara munzvimbo dzekugara kubva kumahotera epamusoro evashanyi nemahotera, makamu ehusingaperi, makambi ane tende, makambi enhare uye nzvimbo dzemapikiniki dzinofanira kuiswa nevashambadzi kusanganisira vemuno nevekunze.
