As you cruise the Spanish Mediterranean, you'll find that Valencia lives up to its nickname - the City of Arts and Sciences. Avant-garde art and modern buildings blend surprisingly well into the ancient buildings that have adorned Valencia for centuries. As you explore this distinct town, be sure to try the local paella. The silk market, "La Lonja de la Seda," is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And a soft white sand beach is the perfect place to relax. Plus, it's home to Europe's largest aquarium, a big public park, and a beautiful botanical garden. A comfortably mild year round climate make this an ideal place to start any Mediterranean cruise that may also visit Barcelona, Malaga, Cannes, Lisbon or even Morocco.

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.
