Set in 185 hectares, Orana Wildlife Park (Christchurch) is New Zealand’s only open range zoo. The Park is home to 1,000 animals representing over 90 different species. The focus of our collection is New Zealand native fauna, domestic animals and African savannah wildlife. Orana continues to work through our exciting development plan to ensure the Park continues to evolve into the future. Operated as a charitable trust, Orana fulfils an important role in managed zoo-based breeding programmes. We are proud to be involved in Department of Conservation breed-for-release recovery programmes for endangered NZ species including whio, pateke, orange-fronted kākāriki and kiwi.
