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!

What a special stay in animal view lodge. Wonderful staff (special thanks to Jacob and Claire for our excursions, but also guest house staff). Breakfast and dinner where menus were multiple and food was an excellent quality. Peaceful and calming viewing nature from your front deck 🙂

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!

Was a fabulous experience, we unfortunately were back from the line of tents that back onto the savannah so we couldn't see any animals from our "room". This was due to having 5 people in our family, all the rooms alone the savannah only hold 4. Dinner and breakfast was amazing, tours were excellent, guides very knowledgeable. Room spacious, was cold but had blankets and aircon/heater. For the price per night felt they could make it a little more personable for kids etc.

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.
