For any nature and wildlife lover New Zealand is a dream destination. Spectacular landscapes, dramatic mountains, iconic evergreen forests, stunning unpolluted coastline, endemic and endangered wildlife species – all these make New Zealand a unique place to discover & explore. 100 million years ago New Zealand got separated from world land masses (Gondwana island) accomplishing many ancient plants and animals to survive and grow in isolation and unique from the rest of the world.
