A wildlife-rich square mile, minutes from downtown Wellington, that’s part of an ambitious 500-year vision to restore native forest and wetlands to New Zealand’s mainland. A safe haven for endangered birds, Karori is now one of the best places in the country to see the elusive, flightless kiwi, especially if you go on one of the guided boat trips in the early evening where a naturalist show you where to find these shy, nocturnal creatures scuttling among the vegetation, as well as banks of glow worms and kaka bush parrots.
