A gorgeous experience. Friendly foreign "groupmates" and tour guide. A memorable stay meeting many animals
It was an amazing tour and stay experience with the team at Slumber Safari! Special thanks to our guide Amy. When we went the first day, weather was really windy and cold to the extend the animals were getting rather frustrated too. The zoo was closed from 3pm because of the weather condition but our tour went on and the guides took extra care to explain and ensure our safety. The meals were homely and one of the most delicious we had in Melbourne. The stay was extremely comfy with heated bedding in glamping style and a hotel-standard private toilet for each tent. The view was extraordinary and it was said that we should have heard the lioness roaring in the morning though we didn’t manage to wake up to that. The safari itself was beyond amazing, it was touching to feel the passion of the keepers and first time ever i saw that many safari animals just doing their thing, in a very natural environment. Hands down 6/5 experience, it was magical!
A great experience! Go to the park when the door to the door, and then was told to go behind another entrance, gave the password to open the door to stop. The room was large, the bed was very comfortable, very rough feeling of the wild. From welcome ceremonies, to watching animals every time, by car or on foot, to dinner and bonfires, the show is organized. Night also saw the spectacular appearance of fruit bats out of the nest. All staff are very friendly and professional, highly recommended, it is worth a go!
What a amazing experience it is. unforgetable trp, totally worth the price!
delicious food! nice tent
Something different from the usual farm stay. Get to meet some other families and get into activities together.
It is so funny here, recommend!!!
The environment is very good, the morning and evening air is fresh, while the side of the cottage while enjoying the sunset, very good activities.
