New Zealand rocks !

New Zealand is famous for its elegant nature - geysers, mountains and lakes, forests and caves, glaciers and beaches. Widely developed environmental movement can save all this magnificence in nearly pristine condition, even in the areas of large cities.

In addition to the beautiful and unique nature and rich excursion itinerary, the country has another very significant plus in the eyes of a certain category of tourists - a well-deserved title of the homeland of extreme and active tourism.
 Adrenaline in the blood is ejected from even simple enumeration of local entertainment. First place in this list is bungee jumping - it seems, from the cradle the local start jumping from various heights upside down. Then skydiving comes (parachuting or simply all kinds) and gliding, rap jumping (Never heard? And this is just simply jogging down the cliff or wall of a tall building with a rope tied to one's back) and air surfing and zorbing (rolling with mountain inside a transparent sphere), and more.

Back in New Zealand, you can watch the whales, admire the mighty fjords and glaciers millennial, roam the cozy Wellington and noisy Auckland.

Well, fantasy fans are of course aware that it is in New Zealand that the shooting of  world-famous trilogy "The Lord of the Rings" took place. Neighborhood of volcanoes of Tongariro and Ruapehu, river Uikato and Queenstown are still places of pilgrimage for fans of the film.

What About Johannesburg

Johannesburg is the biggest city in South Africa (RSA). Its population exceeds 4mln people. Johannesburg is one of 40 largest urban agglomerations in the world.
It was founded in 1886 when an Australian called George Harrison discovered gold deposits. The city got its name from the names of the officials land-surveyors who participated in the foundation of the future metropolis.
It is peculiar that no one thought at first that Johannesburg area would be the richest in gold deposits in the world. Only a small plot of land has been allocated for the development of the city. That is the reason why the central business district of Johannesburg has narrow streets. This peculiar feature of Johannesburg is worth visiting.
Within 10 years after its foundation Johannesburg has become the largest city in South Africa.


  • 73% of Johannesburg population is black
  • 16% are whites
  • 6% are colored

    Lion park is very popular in Johannesburg. Not only you can watch the animals but also play with the cubs. Its best to visit the park during the week as it becomes very crowded over the weekend.
