Sydney’s glittering set will don their finest for one of the city’s most anticipated charity events, when Taronga Zoo hosts its annual Zoofari Gala – an unforgettable black-tie evening set against the breathtaking backdrop of Sydney Harbour.

This year’s event promises a spectacular fusion of wildlife, fine dining, and philanthropy, raising vital funds for Taronga’s conservation work protecting Australia’s most vulnerable species.

Television favourite Allison Langdon will host the evening, joined by acclaimed singer-songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke, whose spellbinding performance will headline the night’s entertainment.

Guests will enjoy a bespoke three-course menu curated by celebrated chef Matt Stone, renowned for his sustainable and seasonal approach to modern Australian cuisine.

Luxury Auction for a Cause

The live and online auctions feature more than 70 extraordinary prizes, including:

• A luxury expedition to the Galápagos Islands, complete with world-class accommodation, snorkelling, and guided wildlife experiences.
• Exquisite jewellery from Linneys.
• Exclusive field adventures with Taronga’s conservation team.

For those unable to attend, the online auction is now open, allowing supporters from across Australia to get involved and bid for a cause that matters.

A Night to Remember

Funds raised from the 2025 Zoofari Gala will directly support Taronga’s rewilding projects for the Koala, Regent Honeyeater, Chuditch (Western Spotted Quoll) and Greater Bilby – ensuring these native species thrive for generations to come.

Guests will dine, dance, and celebrate under the stars in the bespoke Zoofari Marquee, with sweeping views of the city skyline and Sydney Harbour – an only-in-Sydney experience that blends glamour with purpose.

Now more than ever, supporting the planet and its precious wildlife has never been more important.
