A Safari Holiday

Sarah Smith is ten years old. Her brother Peter is eleven. Last year their family went to Kenya for their summer holiday. They had a wonderful time. Kenya is famous for its safari holidays. On a safari holiday（狩猎旅行）, you stay in a national park and watch the wild animals. Sarah's family did this. They camped in the middle of a national park, far from any towns.

    There were guides（导游） with them, and the guides knew a lot about wild animals. During the day, their guides took them in a big car and they saw all kinds of animals. They saw lions, elephants, monkeys and many other animals.

    Sometimes the animals came very close（接近） to them. Once an elephant started walking towards them, and Sarah and Peter felt very afraid. The guide said, "It's all right. Don't move." He didn't seem afraid. After some minutes the elephant walked away.

    At night the family slept in a tent. They could hear the noises of the animals. They said it was noisy, and sometimes they couldn't sleep! Also, they said it was very, very hot. But they loved their holiday, and are going again next year.
