Although expensive this is an excellent stay. The room is very comfortable and spacious. The bed is very comfortable. The shower is excellent. The view from the balcony in generally is wonderful. The guides were informative and very helpful. We were able to visit the lions after dinner and it was well worth it given the heat of the day had gone and they were active.

The whole glamping with an animal view and tours were amazing, we’ve too many photos! The staff were also standout, so friendly and helpful to accommodate our needs. Worth the splurge for something a bit different, and for a good cause.

Staying at Zoofari is a wonderful experience. Beautifully layed out tents with a patio where you can sit for hours watching the savannah animals. The 2 tours give you a look at some of the behind the scenes areas of the zoo. The food is amazing and so fresh. The staff are so helpful and friendly. We stayed for 2 nights and loved it.

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.
