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 with the vision of creating a safe and enriching home for big cats that were in need of a life long home. Zambi has since grown and is now home to a wide diversity of animal species. Visit their website to learn more.
Opt to book a private tour and include a special experience, perhaps getting cosy with a meerkat or hand-feeding a tiger.
