Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
With the blue of the Mediterranean as its border, Alicante lays out its white and blue houses to the south-east of the Iberian Peninsula. Founded by the Greeks then taken by the Romans at the time of the Empire, the city is now an important port. In the vicinity of this Spanish city you will be able to visit the Palmeral of Elche, a huge series of palm groves, some of which are 300 years old. This forest of more than 200,000 species is unique in Europe and was awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO in 2000. An illustration of Arab culture from the 4th century and the Byzantines to the present day, this splendid oasis has preserved all its charm thanks to a conservation program and its gradual increase in size over the centuries.
Day 3: Valencia, Spain
Third city of Spain, Valencia has the temperament of a big Mediterranean city which wide avenues encircle the heart of the old town. The city possesses an abundance of harmonious architectural styles, but it is mainly turned to the future with its Palais des Congrès and its Museum of Science and Industry, famous for its futuristic structures emerging from a crystalline blue swimming pool.
Day 4: Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain
Since the Carthaginians, Ibiza keeps on seducing and still arouses so much emotion when discovering its white silhouette from the sea. In spite of its reputation and the eccentricity of some of its tourists, the island stays a real natural paradise with its magnificent beaches, its creeks lost between dunes and saltworks.
Day 5: Palma de Majorca, Spain
Cultural center of Balearic Islands and modern metropolis with a cosmopolitan atmosphere, Palma of Majorca offers itself entirely to visitors. During a stroll in the heart of the old town, you will guess its history by walking on its pavements and by walking around its old walls.
Day 6: Barcelona, Spain
Your first port of call is Barcelona (Spain). The paths of great masters such as Picasso, Dali and Gaudi have crossed here, and the city’s lively cosmopolitan character ensures its status as an unsurpassed center of culture.
Day 7: Palamos, Spain
The beautiful Palamos Bay comes to break the cliffs dominating the Costa Brava. This small village was established there, during the XIIth century. This former fishermen's village shelters nowadays beaches and creeks of turquoise waters, with the same medieval plan of its old town.
Day 8: Marseille, France / Disembark
After breakfast this morning disembark for your continued journey home.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
