点评:We visited in May for a few hours while traveling from Arusha to Ngorongoro. The only animals we saw were a few elephants and baboons, along with some bird species—but not many.
The scenery is beautiful, especially from the picnic site overlooking Lake Manyara. However, in recent years, rising water levels have been flooding the vegetation, causing it to die, which likely has a negative impact on the entire ecosystem.
Maybe we didn’t have enough time to search for wildlife, or maybe there just isn’t much left, but the park left a disappointing impression. Besides the expanding lake, there’s another issue—the number of animals migrating between the lake and southern Kenya is decreasing. Growing road networks and human settlements are to blame. This might be the final years of the legendary park once explored by Hemingway.
翻译:我们五月份从阿鲁沙前往恩戈罗恩戈罗的途中,在公园里待了几个小时。我们看到的动物只有几头大象和狒狒,还有一些鸟类——但数量不多。
风景很美,尤其是从俯瞰曼雅拉湖的野餐地点看。然而,近年来,水位上升淹没了植被,导致其死亡,这可能对整个生态系统产生负面影响。
也许我们没有足够的时间寻找野生动物,或者可能剩下的野生动物不多了,但这个公园给人留下了令人失望的印象。除了不断扩大的湖泊外,还有另一个问题——在湖泊和肯尼亚南部之间迁徙的动物数量正在减少。不断扩大的道路网络和人类定居点是罪魁祸首。这可能是海明威曾经探索过的传奇公园的最后几年。
