Things to Consider Before Booking an African Safari 1) Book in Advance African Safaris are now hugely popular and good safari camps often get booked out more than a year in advanc e, especially during the high season from July through to October. 2) Choosing which game park Different parks have different topography and weather patterns – this greatly affects animal movements at different times of the year. If you want to target certain species of animals, then some parks are better than others for certain species. 3） Choosing which lodge or safari camp A typical safari camp has between 10 and 20 beds, it is an intimate safari experience and very personalized. However, there are also hotels in some places, either inside or just outside a national park, which can sleep anything up to 300 people. 4） Guiding The quality, experience and knowledge of the game at any Safari camp is almost the most important factor to consider. Good guides can transform your experience from ordinary to exceptional. 5） What’s the Best Time of Year to go on Safari Understandably as the seasons change so does the safari experience. It is highly advisable to find out the best time of year for the safari area that you are intending to visit. Prices will change dramatically between the high and the low season, so good deals are to be had in the low season but it is important to know the difference, as your experience will be vastly different. 6） The Price Going on safari is not cheap whichever way you do it, but the price range can be enormous. Unfortunately, safaris in most cases are a case of ―you pay for what you get‖. 7） Flyin safari or not Using small charter planes is sometimes an absolute necessity for camps in remote areas, where road transfers are just not practical or viable. These flights can increase the overall cost of the safari substantially but generally they are worth it and allow you the flexibility to visit a variety of safari camps in different locations. 8） Use an Agent As you can see from all the information and options detailed above, there is great deal to understand and unless you go on safari several times a year it is impossible to know all this stuff.

On a clear night you might see the Moon, some plas, and thousands of sparkling stars. You can see even more with a telescope. You might see stars where before you only saw dark space. You might see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail. But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won‘t see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year. That‘s because they‘re invisible. They‘re the mysterious dead stars called black holes. You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our Sun is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn‘t seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years. As a star‘s gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die. As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until it‘s packed together tighter than anything in the universe. Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. That‘s how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? It‘s the same force that pulls you down when you jump – the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in ever ything – even light. The light from a black hole can never e back to your eyes. That‘s why you see nothing but blackness. So the next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: there‘s more in the sky than meets the eye! Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes – the great mystery of space. 3. According to the article, what causes a star to die? A. As it gets hotter and hotter, it explodes. B. It collides with other stars. C. It can only live for about a million years. D. As its gases run out, it cools down. 4. W
