Freechoice A

Each guest is different, so we appreciate that you may want to move at your own pace. Perhaps you’ll want to follow a busy day with one at a more relaxed tempo, or you may wish to truly unwind throughout. We’ve divided our extensive list of Scenic Freechoice activities into active, moderate and relaxed pace so you can choose those which best suit your requirements and interests. Active – For the more adventurous, keen to explore further afield or take part in more energetic excursions. Moderate – A comfortable walking pace at which you can easily discover a beautiful city or marketplace. Relaxed – A slower pace to enjoy a spa treatment, cooking class or wine tasting tour.

You can explore the vibrant markets of Jerusalem or meander through the historic Isfahan Bazaar and watch artisans at work, take a drumming class in Tel Aviv or indulge in a wine and food tasting in Amman. Scenic Freechoice offers you a range of all-inclusive activities to choose from, at whatever pace suits you. In Africa, choose from a Harley DavidsonTM ride through the ‘fairest cape’ and a visit to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, or an interactive cooking class with the chefs from the Sarova Mara Game Camp. There is quite simply nothing more liberating or wonder-inducing than choice, and you’ll be encouraged to take full advantage. And of course, it’s all included in the price you pay upfront.
