* * 深圳实验学校中学部 颜咏兰 Snakes and crocodiles thrill visitors ?? WOULD you be able to watch a huge snake eat an antelope () in front of you? Scary, isn’t it? Well at the same time you might find yourself very excited by it. Lured by this kind of wild thrill, tourists from around the world have flocked to Africa. There, they can experience wildlife in the many national parks. Many African countries build vast national parks for people to take a closer look at wild animals. Some of the best parks are Masai Mara National Park in Kenya () and Kruger National Park in South Africa. In the parks, tourists are divided into small groups. They may hire their own guide, chef and driver. A van () will take them wherever they want to go. On the road, tourists don’t have to worry about much at all -- except, maybe, for a wild animal jumping on the road! The guides know where and when to go to catch the best sights. They are ready to answer any questions about the names of plants and animals. Even though the animals are wild, there is not much danger to worry about. Most of the time, tourists stay in the van with the windows shut and the door secured. With some binoculars, the van’s big, clear window allows for a perfect view. And if the garden is too big to see in one day, tourists can always camp there. Pre-reading questions: Have you ever been to Africa? What is a safari park? Do you know about any wild animals?
