Visiting Taronga Zoo Sydney is always a memorable experience — but staying overnight is something truly unforgettable!
If you’re keen to experience the most unique sleepover in Sydney, Taronga’s famous “Roar and Snore” experience is one the whole family will love. Sleeping in safari-style tents overlooking Sydney Harbour that can accommodate up to four people, guests enjoy exclusive animal encounters, behind-the-scenes access and after-dark adventures inside the zoo.
We brought some of the Australian cast of the world’s most popular musical Disney’s THE LION KING to Bridgeclimb to give them an experience to match the musical heights they hit every night on stage.
Buyi Zama is one of the stars of Disney’s THE LION KING, now playing in Sydney for a limited season – and we took her to Taronga to enjoy this very special overnight stay. Buyi explores the zoo’s African Savannah precinct, including Taronga’s majestic lions, while sharing stories about playing the beloved character Rafiki around the world, and why this current Sydney production is a must-see.
One of the best animal encounters you can have during your Roar and Snore stay, is breakfast with the resident Giraffes where you get to hand-feed them carrots, while learning more about the world’s tallest animals!
Back at camp, your luxury safari tent awaits, as well as a charcuterie board and drinks, best enjoyed on the deck, by the firepit, as the sun sets over the world’s most spectacular harbour! With wildlife, entertainment and stunning Sydney views all rolled into one incredible experience, “Roar and Snore” is a family getaway guaranteed to create lifelong memories — bringing all the joy, wonder and magic of Disney’s THE LION KING to life!
WIN! 1 of 10 family passes to Taronga Zoo!
