4 READING
a Read the adverts.
See a penguin
This is a once-in-a-lifetime holiday in the snow and ice of the
Antarctic. You visit the isolated places the great explorers discovered and you can see animals and birds you only normally see on TV or in zoos. The trip starts in South Africa and finishes in Western Australia. You travel on a Russian ship,
Kapitan Khlebnikov, and the holiday lasts for just under a month.
Go on safari
This holiday is a safari with a difference. You travel by helicopter over parts of Kenya, listening to classical music as you fly, and then you sleep under the African stars in a luxury bed. There's another trip, this time in a hot-air balloon for two people, which gives you a second chance to see wild animals in their natural habitat. The best moment is the Elephant Watch in Samburu, where your experienced guide can tell you all about these amazing animals.
Fly high
This is probably the most expensive holiday in the world. You can go on a flight into space and orbit the Earth in a spaceship
- if you have the money! The only problem with this holiday is the six-day training course before you take the trip. You travel BO miles above the Earth for between 30 and 90 minutes and you get a beautiful view of our green and blue planet.
Live like Robinson Crusoe
If you dream of life on a desert island, then this is the holiday for you. The island of Quilalea is off the coast of Mozambique and the only inhabitants are turtles and a few tourists. You can live like Robinson Crusoe: watch the turtles, go fishing, or sail to another island to have a picnic.
