New Zealand is a great place for wildlife photography, we have some amazing, unique and even entertaining wildlife. The fact that our landmass has been isolated from any other continent for 60 million years meant that a whole range of unique creatures evolved here and the great news for Wildlife Photographers is that they make very good subjects! Here’s a collection of New Zealand wildlife photos from the lenses of recent guests (and a few of our Kiwi Guides) on our tours.
Thank you to guests on our tours in recent seasons for sharing these photos, notably Dave & Sue Linnick, Linde Togel, Lois Cork and Catherine Burkhill.
