Warum Gäste es lieben
- Two full bathrooms and a kitchen make family logistics a breeze
- Wild kangaroos grazing right outside the cabin at dusk
- Kids' playground located right in front of the cabins
Kurzfassung: You're paying for proximity to the zoo, but you're still 3km from the main entrance and construction fencing currently blocks the direct savannah view.
Bewertet von @postcardsfrom_abroad: My stay at the Zoofari Lodge was incredible. Waking up in a luxury tent to see giraffes and rhinos from my bed was a dream. The exclusive animal tours made it feel so special. Highly recommend for a unique getaway!

FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Do the cabins have a pool?
No, the Savannah Cabins do not have a pool. You'll need to head into the zoo's 'Waterhole' area for the kids' water play.
Can I walk to the zoo from the cabins?
Technically yes, but it's 3km to the entrance, so driving is highly recommended.
Are the cabins serviced daily?
Yes, despite being self-contained with full kitchens, they receive daily housekeeping.
Do I get free zoo entry?
You can book a package that includes a 2-day zoo entry pass, but room-only rates exist, so check your booking carefully.
Is there a restaurant on-site?
Not at the cabins themselves. You can pre-order hampers to cook on your BBQ, or drive 10-15 minutes into Dubbo.
Can I see the animals from my room?
You can see wild kangaroos up close on the lawn, but the African animals (like giraffes) are about 280m away across a paddock.
Insider-Tipps

Order the BBQ hamper in advance so you don't have to drive back into Dubbo for groceries after a long day of walking.
- ✨
Rent an electric cart or bikes at the zoo early—the 5km circuit is exhausting on foot, especially in the summer heat.
- ✨
Take advantage of the 10% discount at Bakhita's Cafe and the Zoo Shop that comes with your stay.

💡The stargazing from your private deck is phenomenal due to the lack of light pollution.
💡The oven instructions in the cabin often don't match the actual appliance.
