Best Roadtrip Routes for Wildlife & Nature Encounters

What if your next road trip included penguins, kangaroos, or wild dolphins and cost less than a takeaway coffee per day? Imoova’s relocations make that possible. Here are some of the best relocation routes for wildlife lovers and nature seekers - available from only $1 per day.

1. Melbourne - Adelaide (Great Ocean Road, Australia)

A world-class drive packed with coastal lookouts, koalas, and kangaroos. Stop at Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve and the Otways for rainforest hikes and glowworms and stop at Kennett River for koalas, parrots, rosellas and cockatoos.

2. Christchurch - Queenstown (New Zealand)

Drive through alpine passes and mirror lakes while spotting seals at Kaikōura and rare kea parrots in Arthur’s Pass. Every kilometre feels like a documentary scene. Look out for kiwis & penguins, too!

3. Vancouver - Calgary (Canada)

Relocate a motorhome through the Rockies and you might catch a glimpse of elk, moose, or even a bear. Camp by glacial lakes and wake up to misty peaks.

4. San Francisco - Seattle (USA)

Take the Pacific Coast route to encounter sea lions, whales, and redwoods. Visit Oregon’s coastal parks for tide pools and migrating whales.

5. Hamburg - Munich (Germany)

Yes, Europe has wildlife too! Explore national parks like Bavarian Forest for lynx, deer, and pristine hiking trails, ideal for spring relocations.

Remember, you’re a guest in nature’s home. Keep your distance, never feed animals, and leave no trace. When in Canada, remember to always carry bear spray and avoid hiking alone.

Relocations aren’t just about saving money, they’re about experiencing bucket list moments on a budget. With Imoova, you can journey through some of the world’s most biodiverse routes at a fraction of the cost. Browse available relocations here and book your budget roadtrip today.
