Places To Vistit


The places I've decided to recommend are all destinations that often are associated with their country. These locations all offers amazing experiences in nature, all the way from Kenya to New Zealand.

From Kenya, I have chosen the great natural reserve of Maasai Mara. The reserve covers about 1500 km2 of the south-west Kenya, and it's located right by the Tanzanian border. Maasai Mara is exceptionally known for it's population of Maasai lions, Tanzanian cheetahs and leopards, but you might also find zebras, elephants and rhinos among many others.

My second destination goes to New Zealand, and the mighty fjord Milford Sound. This is allegedly New Zealand's most famous tourist destination, and according to newzealand.com even Rudyard Kipling should have described it as The eight wonder of the world. Milford Sound is located at the west coast of Te Wahipounamu (a.k.a the south island), and attracts with boat cruises, hiking and kayaking in beautiful terrain.
Kayaking on ''the 8. wonder of the world''
In my thoughts these two countries share very few attractions in common. On one hand you have the Kenyan Savannah and the African wildlife, and in New Zealand there are the fjords and the great white mountains. The New Zealand topography actually reminds me of a pacific version of Norway with a tropical twist. Because simultaneous as New Zealand has some tropical climate, it also has the famous and rare fjords like Norway
