Travora
/ New Zealand
At the edge of the world, nature at its purest
New Zealand is the ultimate adventure at the end of the planet. Fjords, volcanoes, empty beaches and ancient forests roll across two spectacular islands. For the Cameroonian traveler it is a long journey but an immense reward: cinematic landscapes, a living Maori culture and a laid-back people who call everyone by their first name.
