New Zealand, where spectacularly beautiful landscape including vast mountain chains, steaming volcanoes, sweeping coastlines, and lush rainforests are the norm for its people. It is a haven for those seeking peace, rejuvenation and relaxation as well as a playground for thrill seekers and adventurers. North and South Island divide New Zealand into two wonderfully different worlds of their own. North Island, which is home to the capital Wellington and the larger city of Auckland, offers an unforgettable city experience in a natural setting. On the extreme west of the North Island of New Zealand stands Mount Egmont. Christchurch or ‘Garden City of the World’, South Island’s largest city, has an abundance of scenic attractions, exciting adventures and upbeat nightlife venues that represent a city that is fun loving, creative and extremely cosmopolitan. Located in scenic Christchurch is the Orana Park, New Zealand’s largest animal reserve and is internationally recognized for its breeding of rare and endangered New Zealand and African animals. Experience the feeding of the magnificent Rothschild giraffe, observe cheetah in full chase or perhaps feed a couple of rare New Zealand Kiwis. The Southern Alps are often obscured by clouds, which is probably why the Maoris called New Zealand “Aotearoa”, the long white cloud.
