Zambi Wildlife Retreat

Love the thought of getting up close to a top-of-the-food-chain predator? Watching the twitch of a tail, or listening to the rasp of a rough tongue on fur? You can experience that, and more, at Zambi Wildlife Retreat, in Wallacia in Western Sydney. The retreat is the work of the Zambi Wildlife Foundation, an animal welfare charity established in 2012, whose main focus is caring for exotic animals retired from the circus, entertainment industries and zoo breeding programs. Its vision includes creating a safe and enriching home for exotic species such as lions, tigers and primates. Translated, that means Zambi’s big cats, are the headline attraction. You can also encounter a wide range of other animals. Opt for one of the special experiences, perhaps getting cosy with a meerkat or hand-feeding a tiger.
