Wilderness Safaris Hawke's Bay offers visitors exclusive access to a stunning wildlife preserve area located in Hawke's Bay's iconic Cape Kidnappers peninsula.
The preserve features a wide range of unique wildlife including the endangered North Island Brown Kiwi. In addition, there are Blue Penguins and a variety of birdlife such as the coastal Shearwater, Grey-faced petrel and native forest Tomtit.
There has been a major focus on pest control as the preserve establishes itself and local volunteers have provided a major impetus.
"The preparation has been very labour-intensive, and the volunteer commitment from the commnity has been awesome." says Tamsin Ward-Smith, Manager Cape Kidnappers and Ocean Beach Wildlife Preserve.
