Monday, 31 Mar, 2014 0

Taronga Western Plains Zoo’s 10 new luxury African-inspired lodges have been opened by Taronga Foundation patron, the British comic actor, John Cleese.

The $2.1 million redevelopment of Zoofari Lodge has expanded the capacity to 9000 overnight guests annually.

"Zoofari Lodge was the first zoo-based accommodation experience opened in Australia and has since continued to evolve and develop, leading the field of zoo and nature-based overnight experiences in Australia," said Taronga director, Cameron Kerr.

The new safari lodges feature African-inspired decor with king-size beds and freestanding baths, and have private decks on the edge of the African Savannah where guests can see roaming giraffe, zebra and eland.
