Dangers

There are no dangerous animals in New Zealand: no snakes, and that’s why flightless birds still survive.
Diseases such as typhoid and malaria are also absent.
This means the biggest dangers for foreign visitors are:
-
Hypothermia – weather can change very quickly, especially at altitude in the mountains, so be prepared with warm clothing.
-
Drownings – while New Zealand’s countless beaches are incredibly inviting, play it smart when it comes to going swimming. Rips and undertows cause many preventable drownings.
-
Car crashes – the biggest dangers for foreign visitors are excessive speed and winding, often unsealed roads. Drive on the left and don’t become road-kill!
