  • Ngoma ist ein Ort im Süden des Kafue-Nationalparks in der Zentralprovinz von Sambia. Er liegt südlich des Ortes Itezhi Tezhi. Ngoma ist eine Wildhütersiedlung der Zambian Wildlife Authority (ZAWA). 200 Wildhüter leben hier mit ihren Familien. Es gibt ein kleines Informationszentrum zur lokalen Tierwelt und eine Grundschule. Ngoma ist an das Stromnetz angeschlossen, doch nicht alle Häuser haben Strom. Strom wird vor allem für die Wasserpumpe genutzt, die aus einem Bohrloch die Trinkwasserversorgung sichert. Im Süden des Ortes liegt ein kleines Flugfeld. (de)

  • Ngoma è un villaggio dello Zambia, l'unico della parte meridionale del Kafue National Park. Si trova nei pressi della Diga di Itezhi-Tezhi, sul fiume . Il villaggio è abitato principalmente dalle famiglie del personale che opera nel parco. Il villaggio è molto difficile da raggiungere a causa delle pessime condizioni delle strade, che in parte dell'anno sono anche infestate da sciami di mosche tse-tse; per questo motivo, il principale collegamento con il resto del paese è rappresentato dalla pista di atterraggio adiacente al villaggio.

  • Ngoma ist ein Ort im Süden des Kafue-Nationalparks in der Zentralprovinz von Sambia. Er liegt südlich des Ortes Itezhi Tezhi. Ngoma ist eine Wildhütersiedlung der Zambian Wildlife Authority (ZAWA). 200 Wildhüter leben hier mit ihren Familien. Es gibt ein kleines Informationszentrum zur lokalen Tierwelt und eine Grundschule. Ngoma Lodge wurde vor einigen Jahren geschlossen, nachdem Wilderer den Tierbestand fast ausgerottet hatten. Heute ist der Tierbestand annähernd stabil. Die Arbeit der Wildhüter zeigt Früchte. Inzwischen sieht man gelegentlich große Impalaherden, Buschböcke und häufiger Elefanten. Auch Leoparden schleichen nachts um das Dorf. Die anderen Tiere des Parks gelangen nur selten in diese Gegend. Neben Ngoma fließt der Bach Nkala, der in der Trockenzeit völlig trocken fällt, in der Regenzeit jedoch weit über die Ufer tritt und die Ebene zwischen den rund hundert Meter höheren Hügeln Nakalombwe, Nkala und „Hühnerschrei“ überflutet. Dann leben dort Krokodile. Für Flusspferde ist das Wasser nicht tief genug. Ngoma ist an das Stromnetz angeschlossen, doch nicht alle Häuser haben Strom. Strom wird vor allem für die Wasserpumpe genutzt, die aus einem Bohrloch die Trinkwasserversorgung sichert. Im Süden des Ortes liegt ein kleines Flugfeld. (de)
  • Ngoma, Zambia is the only settlement in the south of Kafue National Park. It is a short way south of Itezhi-Tezhi Dam. Ngoma is the home of the head warden for the south half of the park, and for around 200 game wardens and their families employed by ZAWA (Zambian Wildlife Authority). There is a small information centre about the local wildlife, and in the village is Ngoma Basic School. Ngoma lodge shut down many years ago, when poaching killed most of the animals in the area. The numbers of animals are now at least stable, if not increasing, thanks to the efforts of the underpaid game wardens, and the lodge may one day re-open. Ngoma has a limited electricity supply. This electricity is hooked up to some homes, but the main use is to power the water pump. Ngoma has a borehole so the water does not need boiling or purifying. It can be obtained by a manual pump at any time or by taps spaced around the village when the electricity is working. The roads to Ngoma and Itezhi-Tezhi are well graded in gravel . To add to the inevitable bumpiness there are swarms of tsetse flies that have very painful bites , and will attack at any opportunity. There is an airstrip just south of Ngoma to save this journey. Ngoma is frequented by a large herd of impala, as well as many bushbuck and frequently elephants. There are groups of vervet monkeys living in the trees above the village and leopards sometimes walk through the village at night. Close by, there are many other species of animal, including puku, reedbuck, waterbuck, sable and roan antelope, eland, hartebeest, wildebeest, kudu, zebra, warthog, lion, serval, wild cat, hyena, jackal and, at night, springhare and porcupine. Birdlife in the village is impressive, with African fish eagles and bateleurs flying over frequently, and many species of kingfisher and hornbill living around the local river. The river that flows past Ngoma is the Nkala. In the dry season it has a well defined course and can dry up completely, but in the wet season it spreads out over the surrounding plains. Crocodiles live in the river, although it is too shallow for hippos. Hippos can be found in Lake Itezhi-Tezhi though. In the local area there are three hills. They are over 1100m above sea level and the plains around Ngoma are at around 1000m. From Ngoma it is possible to see and walk to Nakalombwe Hill, and behind Ngoma across the river is Nkala Hill. A little way off there is a hill known as the Screaming Chicken Hill. It is possible that this name comes from a tribal ritual. * v * t * e (en)
