On a cool morning,Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southern Kenya.His calmness makes it easy to forget that he's tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world.Kasaine is tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti,who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.

Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish,but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life.Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife.Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going.During his 12-kilometre walks to and from school,he learned how to tell the paw prints(爪印) of a lion from those of other animals.

Growing up,Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals.For many Maasai people,tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection.But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them.He leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path,searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.

Each year,thousands of tourists crowd Kenya's national parks to try to have a look at the“big five”:elephants,rhinoceros,leopards,buffaloes and lions.The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nation's economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife.If Kenya's wildlife disappears,so does its second-largest source of income.

Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(专门地)for animals.But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas.They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle.But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.

Centuries ago,Granada was once a city filled with hundreds of public baths.One of the few that remain undamaged dates back to(始于) the 11th century.However,Granada's most popular attraction is the Alhambra.The name Alhambra means “red castle” because of the colour of the stone,which is particularly beautiful at sunset.As you walk through its narrow streets and beautiful gardens,you will be able to experience the charm of this particular region.

Within the Alhambra is the Parador de Granada,which is one of Spain's most popular hotels.It was originally part of a palace and later turned into a convent(女修道院);it's a place where you can calm your mind.Its tranquil courtyard and lovely views are the reasons why so many guests enjoy their stay.

Located on the hill not far from the Alhambra is the Albaicin.This used to be an Arab silk market,but today the small streets are filled with shops selling local handicrafts.From the Albaicin,there is a steep walk up to a church,but it's well worth the effort.
