📌 Save this for your next New Zealand road trip! Did you know there’s an entire mountain in New Zealand that’s been completely fenced off? Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari is a massive, predator-free reserve that is fully open for the public to explore: 🌿 47km of pest-proof fencing keeps the old-growth rainforests thriving just as they were centuries ago. 🦜 There are no cages here. You can spot endangered species like kākā and takahē living completely free. 🥾 Kilometres of raw hiking trails where you can experience New Zealand’s unique ecology firsthand. 📍 Tucked in the Waikato just 2 hours from Auckland, making it an easy add-on near major attractions like Waitomo and Hobbiton.
