New Zealand Wildlife : Top Avenues to Enjoy Bird and Animal Sightings
New Zealand is a fantastic holiday destination that’s replete with all sorts of attractions and lures for people of all interests. Millions of holiday makers who visit the beautiful country are left besotted with the incredible treasure trove of cultural, historical and natural. New Zealand’s wildlife, in particular, is extremely popular with vacationers who do not shy away from spending money on air tickets and accommodation in NZ in order to take in the nation’s finest. Take a look at different zoos and wildlife parks that deserve a visit by people who love an encounter with both native and exotic animals
Orana Wildlife Park
Spread across 80 hectares, Christchurch’s Orana Wildlife Park is rather well known among tourists. The park is located very close to the Christchurch International Airport and is thus an automatic choice for all leisure travellers with flight tickets to the city. In fact, there is even a shuttle service available from the airport for visitors. Animal lovers will have a field day at Orana Wildlife Park as they enjoy sightings of more than 400 animals from 70 different species. Streams and banks act as natural safety guards as people get to see the animals in a natural manner.
Auckland Zoo
New Zealand’s Auckland Zoo is truly the star attraction for people who have planned holidays in the southern hemisphere country in a hope to encounter some exotic species after investing dough on airline tickets. Boasting the largest collection of native and exotic animals in New Zealand, Auckland Zoo is just few minutes drive from the central Auckland and is hence pretty accessible for tourists. African lion, American alligator, Asian elephant, Asian elephant, Bornean orang-utan and California sea lion are some of the famous international attractions for guests. Apart from animal sightseeing, people can enjoy year-round events as well at Auckland Zoo.
Blue Penguin Colony
Blue Penguin Colony, located in Oamaru, South Island, is the place to see the world's smallest penguins in their natural habitat. People who are keen on flight tickets to NZ and have done some sort of research on the country might know that blue penguins are found all along the coast of New Zealand but perhaps there is no better place than Oamaru to catch a sight of them. Penguins nest right around the harbour area, offering a wonderful chance to observe them at sunset when the bird arrives home from their day at sea
Hamilton Zoo
Hamilton Zoo is billed as 'the zoo with personality' and it not very difficult to see why! There is a lot going around in this large zoo that’s set amongst 25 hectares lush tranquil surroundings. Animals, of course, are the headliners though. People can get entrance tickets and start exploring a menagerie that’s home to over 600 native New Zealand and exotic animals. Birds, mammals, reptiles, all find representation at Hamilton Zoo and is therefore a must visit for animal lovers chancing upon air tickets to New Zealand.
