Cruising to Regensburg, Germany captures the authentic charm of the enchanting Danube River. While in Regensburg, you'll have time to tour the splendid old town, where beautiful churches, exquisitely designed homes of the wealthy and one of Germany's oldest bridges can be seen. The Old Town Hall and the Porta Praetoria (gates to an ancient Roman fort built in 179 A.D.) are sure to impress. Or, ride a bike to Walhalla to learn about the neo-Classical white marble temple. If you have time, make sure to try Bavarian gastronomy - beer, sausage, and pretzels. If you travel in November or December, you'll see the vibrant Christmas Markets, vestiges of old central European culture kept alive today.

Highlights of Regensburg As your leisurely Danube River cruise floats through scenic Germany, a day in Regensburg is sure to highlight the journey, with activities like:
A tour of the Old Town Hall.
Visiting Porta Praetoria, the last remaining piece of a 2nd century Roman camp.
Sampling the regional snacks and cuisine that have made Bavaria famous, like sausage, pretzels, and of course, beer!
Biking to Walhalla, a marble temple built in the Neoclassical style and inspired by the Greek Parthenon.
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.
