The overall experience was unique and to see the animals front the front porch
Amazing experience! Well run. Staff were great! Facilities were clean, safe and comfortable. Lodge was incredible with animals just meters away! Tours were well organised, run by knowledgeable staff and a great experience! Loved every minute!!!
High quality accommodation. Beautiful food. Helpful and accommodating staff and management.
The room was very clean and well prepared. The view of the zoo animals could not be bettered.
Watching the Savannah lands from our balcony was awesome. The morning tour behind the scene to view animals was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Our stay at the Zoofari Lodge was unforgettable. The safari tent was beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly connected with the surrounding wildlife, waking up to giraffes and zebras outside was magical.Truly a special experience that I’d recommend to anyone. Can’t wait to go back!
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.
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.
Worth a long drive. All staff were excellent customer service, especially Greg who did our private tour on the second day was very professional and full of knowledge.
