We had a brilliant time staying at Zulu 2 lodge, we loved the hot tub on our balcony, the activities (archery and jumping), we had fun in the pool, the safari was great and the staff were lovely - we asked them to organise a cake for our daughter’s 8th birthday which was delicious! A driver was always available to shuttle us back and forth from the lodge to the zoo. The food was good. Overall, a very enjoyable stay and our daughter had a great time for her birthday - thank you!
My toddler got several splinters in her feet from walking barefoot on the decking on our balcony. Shoes recommended!

We were looking for a sleep over on our way from Gibraltar to Malaga when I discovered this animal park with accomodation. Perefect if you are travelling with kids. Safari was a highlight of our stay because the guide in perfect English taught us many things about animals and you get to feed zebras and watch hippos being fed. Zulu villas are modern, spacoius and well-equipped with a big terrace.
The communication with the reception could have been smoother, they asked us to fill out numerous information when really just a picture of our IDs could have been enough. Difficult to communicate in English. Zip line didn't work.

We took one of our granddaughters to the park several years ago and wanted to repeat the experience for our youngest grandchild. The experience of being in the zoo out of visiting hours is very special. The safari ride was very good, even if we had to walk back through the park afterwards! Breakfast was fine and the staff helpful. Everything seemed to work efficiently!
We stayed in a lodge outside of the park and this didn't give the girls the same experience as staying inside the park. However, the lodge was alright and had a great bathroom. The lighting was quite dim in the main room and it was quite basic.. Fine for one night.

The Safari Trip and the guide was excellent. Really enjoyable and our Spanish guide (who also had excellent English and she explained everthing in both languages) She was very funny and throughly engaging throughout and her knowledge of the animals was immense and made the trip. Got to see all the Rhinos, amazing Zebras Giraffes etc. and the Open top Truck was great. Best part of the trip.We stayed overnight in Watu Huts & plenty to do and see all the animals over the 2 days stopping off for a bit of lunch in afternoon in restaurant. I night is plenty as you really have experienced everything by then. All the staff were lovely and very helpful to us and I would definately recommend as we and our teenage kids had a great time!
Zipline was only operational at the weekends only so missed out on that but no big deal!.

The zoo and safari was great, nicely done. We stayed in the Zulu lodge which was good, terrace with great views and jacuzzi. Nice big shared swimming pool.
Try to avoid the food (fried fast food served in disposable plates), great place for dinner is down the road. Breakfast was ridiculous, you have to wait with a tray in a line to be served across the counter, the food was below standard, honestly for the accomodation price this was almost offensive. The double bed is only 140 cm wide and very soft.

This was an unbelievable find. Whilst the accommodation in the Masai lodges was fairly basic it was nonetheless more than acceptable for a single night stay, with adequate space and en-suite with good shower. The accommodation is located within the animal park and included with the accommodation was admission to the park and the "Serengeti tour", which is a 45 minute tour on one of the park's open side buses with an extremely knowledgeable and multi-lingual guide. This included close up encounters with zebra, rhinos, hippos and various other animals. Excellent car parking, with helpful reception staff and staff in the park cafeteria for dinner and breakfast.
Only minor downside was lack of any wifi service. The park itself is quite hilly but two unfit pensioners coped reasonably well.

We loved the little huts in the Masai village which came equipped with a fridge and a communal microwave. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful. The park was well run and we thoroughly enjoyed the safari and explanations given about the animals. The tickets for the Safari were included in the price of the room. We could also wander through parts of the park in the evening too which made it feel special as it was quiet. We would also like to thank the male member of staff who drove us up to the safari park start so we wouldn't miss our safari. He also helped us later to start our car after we had a flat battery. Many thanks to him unfortunately we didn't get his name.
How money and power has allowed the location to be ruined by Apartment blocks to be built behind the park thus ruining the feeling of being in the middle of a forest. The town hall should not have allowed this.

Complete package with breakfast , zip line, safari and entree of the park. The safari is great and very educational. The park is clean and well maintained. The accomodation is simple , clean and very nice beds and views!!! Absolutely recommended for families !
All was nice. It would be. Plus to have a coffee/tea possibility in the room or the communal areas (stayed in watu), The lighting in the cabin could be more cozy this was very bright ... I would prefer to have more healthier food options in the restaurants in the park and the water could be cheaper ( 1.90 for a 500ml bottle)

A very interesting option for an overnight stay with children - the hut is located in the middle of the zoo, surrounded by animals whose sounds you can listen to all night. At night you can walk around a small part of the zoo and see some of the animals that are inactive and sleeping during the day. Safaru included in the price is a must do: you can feed the zebras yourself and see the hippos feeding. Our daughter was thrilled. Also, the safari takes you to the far side of the zoo, which is located on high ground, and you don't have to walk there - after the safari is over, you just comfortably walk back down through the zoo, studying the animals and walking down the shady alleys.
We were traveling with two children, ages 13 and 2, and had asked Staff in advance to install a crib in our hut for our younger daughter. Staff replied in chat that Masai hut is only for three guests so they will not install a crib for us, however our younger daughter can sleep in the bed with us. Surprisingly, when we checked in - the crib was installed.

Loved waking up to the sound of the animals. We were right above the hyena enclosure and you could hear them during the night. The staff were very friendly. Being mid week and school term in spain, the park was nearly empty. This was great. Very peaceful and relaxing.
The fact that it was not peak season meant the zipline, trampolines and archery activities were not running. These were activities my kids were looking forward to, as they did it last time we stayed.
