GROUP B

– an amazing adventure! It’s not possible to go in

summer because it’s too hot.

Holidays of the Week

A
Most people don’t like to work when they’re on
holiday, but what if it’s for a charity looking after
young monkeys in an African village? You get to
give food and medicine to these cheeky guys. They
lost their parents and need people’s help to survive.
Price includes breakfast and lunch.

B
Do you like adventure? Do you like the sea? Then
why not come to Egypt and become a SCUBA
diver at the same time? Your teachers will tell you
all you need to know and, after one week, you get a
diving certificate which you can use anywhere in
the world, not just in the clear African water off
Egypt.

C
If you’re bored of sunbathing, hiking or city
sightseeing, then a holiday going down the wild
rivers of Idaho in the USA could be the thing for
you. There are fast, dangerous white-water sections
as well as huge sandy beaches where you can
safely swim. All meals are included.

D
Deserts are among the most beautiful places on
earth and the Sahara in Morocco is no different.
This holiday sees you and your family spend seven
days trekking through the African sands on camels
