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.

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.
