Orana specialises in providing amazing animal encounters – visitors can see NZ’s only gorillas, hand feed giraffe, meet rhino ‘face-to-face’, travel through the Lion Habitat (additional cost/conditions apply), see kiwi and meet mischievous kea.
Scheduled presentations occur daily and visitors can enjoy the antics of painted dogs, cheetah, lace monitors, monkeys, meerkats and more. Our extensive NZ fauna section includes a range of native birds and reptiles and visitors can meet friendly domestic animals in the Farmyard.
Orana takes part in breed for release programmes for threatened NZ native wildlife including kiwi, whio, pāteke, orange-fronted parakeet and Maud Island frogs. When you visit you are directly supporting this work.
