It was a wonderful stay. The view from our room was very nice and the giraffes were right in front of us. Dinner, breakfast and two tours were included. Services were excellent!

Lovely stay in a glamping tent at Zoofari Lodge with the most amazing view of the Savannah at Taronga Western Plains Zoo. All the wonderful staff were fabulous, especially Isabelle and Emma who checked us in and took us on evening and morning special experiences. Food was delicious, could'nt fault anything.

Whole property and experience at Zoofari from the included tours to the first class meals, exceptional staff plus the animal encounters were all truly incredible and a fantastic memory for myself and my visiting family from the UK. A truly magical experience and one not of us will ever forget

Wonderful overnight stay at Zoofari Lodge. Food, tours, lodging were all amazing
Graeme and Laura, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An exceptional stay in a bush view lodge "tent". The included activities were delightful (feeding a giraffe was a highlight!), and the three-course dinner was absolutely delicious, as was breakfast the next day. Excellent gluten free options too, which was much appreciated! Staff were wonderful, tours fabulous, room was comfortable and warm despite it being 0C overnight. 'Tents' are starting to show a little bit of age and a little refresh wouldn't go amiss, but honestly this didn't detract from the stay at all. Highly recommended!

The staff at Zoofari Lodge is amazing. They are all so helpful especially Jacob and Isabella. Helen was incredibly friendly. They really look after you with their hearts - took care of my husband so well in a wheelchair - big call-out to Terry who was with my husband during the zoo tour - thank you Terry. I was very impressed how appreciative the staff was with our visit and always expressing their thanks to help Taronga Zoo a non profit organisation. The animals are so well looked after - there is a lot of love here both to the animals and guests and visitors to the zoo - AMAZING- thank you so very much !

Amazing experience. Highly recommended to everyone well worth the money. Great accommodation and friendly staff. Wild animals literally roaming outside your rooms doesnt get any better

Food was very good ,experience was great
Julie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the whole experience. Staff were amazing. Food amazing. We had two days there which we felt were needed. Spread the unique tours over 2 days instead of cramming and had time to drive round the main zoo. Expensive but worth every penny and not expensive considering inclusions and service. Thoroughly recommend. Note no wifi in lodges but there is in main guest house. A bit of a walk from car if you have a lot of luggage, not that convenient (we are older people)
Jen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Can't recommend this highly enough. What a fantastic experience. The staff work so hard and were so welcoming. To see Giraffes, Rhinos, Ostriches, Impalas...etc right outside our accom was so special. The only negative I could find was that there wasn't enough time from check-in to get settled and take it all in before the sundown tour. We all agreed that 2 nights would be perfect to fully experience it all and get some downtime to enjoy and watch the animals with a drink from our balcony. All in all it was an outstanding experience and will be talking about it for years to come.

The zoofari is super good for the kid. The evening and morning trips are super. We took two days to enjoy the special trips twice.
