Orana Wildlife Park website
The Park has been designed with an emphasis on natural settings
for the animals. Streams, moats and banks are used as
barriers to allow visitors the opportunity to see the animals up
close with few fences, wire or cages visible. Over 400 animals
representing more than 70 species are on display.
Unique and exciting animal encounters are a Park specialty and
enable visitors to get up close to endangered exotic
animals.
Visitors can hand feed majestic giraffe, stroll through an alpine
themed aviary for a close encounter with Kea - the world's only
alpine parrot, see Tigers search for food, meet massive rhino in a
"face to face" encounter, see the awesome turn of speed of the
world's fastest land mammal - the cheetah, pat a friendly llama and
travel through the African lion reserve for extremely close views
of the "King of Beasts"!
There is something for everyone to enjoy with 15 animal feeds
daily, one approximately every 30 minutes whilst the Park is
open. Guided tours operate daily - visitors can board a
safari shuttle for a Park tour and enjoy the drivers' commentary.
Alternatively, join a wildlife guide on a walkabout tour of the
grounds. Orana Wildlife Park provides the ultimate wildlife
experience!
The Park is dedicated to the conservation of wildlife diversity on
this planet. Our aim, along with being dedicated to the
conservation of endangered species and the welfare of our animals,
is to provide education, recreation and enjoyment to the
public.
