There is plenty for visitors to enjoy at the Park with fifteen daily animal feeds , one feed approximately every 40 minutes whilst the Park is open!
Orana Wildlife Park specialises in getting visitors "up close and personal with the animals". Visitors can hand feed a Giraffe , see our Sumatran Tigers search, leap or even climb a pole for their food, meet White Rhinoceros in a face-to-face encounter , see the blistering speed of the world's fastest land mammal the Cheetah and pat a Llama! Thrill seekers can participate in a wonderful experience, unique to the Park called the Lion Encounter Ride - ride on board our specially designed feeding wagon which travels through the African Lion Habitat for extremely close up views of the "King of Beasts" - a truly memorable experience!
An extensive collection of New Zealand native species is of particular appeal for visitors. Observe New Zealand Kiwi, Tuatara and a range of endangered, endemic birds such as Kea, the only alpine parrot in the world. Stroll through the walk-through aviary whilst native birds fly past and listen to their calls. Orana Wildlife Park has one of the most comprehensive public displays of native reptiles. A farmyard area enables visitors to pet a range of domestic animals.
Visitors can walk through the Park and/or ride on the complimentary Safari Shuttle, driven by a wildlife expert who provides a commentary. Alternatively, visitors may wish to participate in daily, guided, walkabout tours.
