The tours included with the zoofari was excellent. The staff were friendly, some were very knowledgeable others very inexperience. The worse part was the included dinner. The quality of the food for dinner was very poor. The kids menu was more palatable than the adult meals. Dinner was very inefficient, we had to wait a long time to get food, and dessert was missi

The tours are amazing. Special shout out to Helen and Kate for the amazing safaris. Food was meh. Dinner was tiny portions of frozen food, our family was still hungry. And dessert was literally two spoons of a frozen cafe style dessert. They need to work on the meals, especially since it is announced as “chef prepared to order” food. Breakfast was much better. For the price I was expecting good meals. Wouldn’t do it again

Disappointing as this stay and whole experience used to be so much better. Food portions were so tiny, entree size and there's no way you can still try and call this an African Banquet. So many changes most definitely not for the better.

This exceeded all expectations. I was concerned upon booking that the actual experience and rooms might be overhyped or a bit silly, but everything was just incredible. One of my best stays in Australia by far. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. You were receiving 5 star treatment throughout. The rooms are stunning and nothing beats opening the curtains at sunrise to 3 zebra walking by your patio. I felt transported to Africa. You won't regret booking it. The Zoo itself is truly unmissable and we enjoyed two days exploring it by car and bicycle. The animals are superbly treated and have enormous enclosures. 5 stars.
