About this video:

On today’s episode of New Zealand’s Biggest Gap Year we are at Makoura Lodge near Apiti and on the edge of the Ruahine Ranges. Makoura Lodge is an adventure lodge, and today’s adventure is going on a 4WD Safari in New Zealand! 

We are taken to a purpose-built 4WD track with lots of obstacles to get over. We sit and hold on for dear life as our drive of the 4WD Safari with Makoura Lodge takes us off-roading. 

The 4WD Safari with Makours Lodge also takes us to some stunning viewpoints over the Makoura Lodge property and out to the Ruahine Ranges. It really is a hidden gem in the Manawatu region of New Zealand. 

After an action-packed 4WD Safari in New Zealand, we head back to the Makoura Lodge to relax and have some dinner. 

So what do you think of the 4WD Safari at Makoura Lodge?
