New Zealand stands out as one of the most unique destinations on Earth, where scenes of sweeping, verdant landscapes and pristine wilderness abound.

Go sailing, jet boating, or ride an inflatable kayak along pristine bodies of water flanked by some of the world’s most awe-inspiring mountains.

While their sheer size, at times exceeding 660 lbs and 10 ft long, is enough to impress most wildlife experts, tigers conceal even more remarkable secrets behind their elusive nature.
Not only can their whiskers detect changes in air pressure, enabling them to navigate the darkness and sense the presence of prey moving through dense vegetation. Their stripes, more than just camouflage, also double as a built-in thermostat.
By strategically absorbing sunlight, they regulate their body’s temperature, enabling them to thrive in both scorching heat and frigid winters.
Witnessing these impressive hunters in their natural habitat is a rare privilege.
Get in touch with @thelegacyuntold for a chance to see them up-close.

A stunning archipelago comprised of 115 islands (of which only 26 are inhabited), scattered across the Indian Ocean - welcome to the Seychelles.
