This was the most amazing experience. We went with our two young children and they had the best time. There were two tours outside the opening hours of the zoo, which were incredible, and I only wish we had more time in the room with daylight hours to sit and admire the animals for longer. Food was delicious as well. Will definitely be going back one day!

Had an awesome stay at Zoofari. Looked around the Zoo before staying overnight (as the weather wasnt going to be good after our stay). The staff were amazing, the room was lovely and well thought out. Had a lovely evening meal and breakfast. Thanks to Clare our tour guide who answered all our questions.

We recently celebrated our daughter's 4th birthday at Zoofari Lodge, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The team truly went above and beyond to make her day extra special. From the thoughtful gifts to their friendly and accommodating service, they made us feel welcome and cared for from start to finish. Our daughter had the most amazing time, and seeing her so happy made the day even more memorable. The staff's attention to detail and genuine effort to create a wonderful experience did not go unnoticed. Thank you, Zoofari Lodge, for helping us create such precious memories. We highly recommend it for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion!
