Oprah Winfrey was spotted on a walk up Mt Eden in Auckland yesterday.

Photos posted on social media show the American star and her entourage taking a stroll up the volcano, dressed in active wear.

She was also seen leaving the One Tree Grill restaurant at Greenwoods Corner in Epsom, where she was filmed by a fan.

So, we saw Oprah today. I'd love to say "met" Oprah, but instead I freaked out, gawked, filmed and completely missed my window of opportunity. Maybe next time!

The broadcasting billionaire and former talkshow host is on her first visit to this country.

In a statement promoting her show at Auckland's Vector Arena on Wednesday, she said she was "excited to visit New Zealand for the very first time".

For this, "The O VIP Photo + Soundcheck Experience", fans will get an experience that includes a 15-minute Q&A session with Oprah, access to her soundcheck, photos, VIP access, premium seating, a lanyard and laminate, and a cocktail party.

Winfrey is best known for her TV talkshow, which aired from 1986 to 2011.

Worth US$3 billion ($4.5 billion), she has been ranked the richest African-American of the 20th century.
