Zoofari

 

 

 

Join us at the Zoo on September 14, 2012, for a roaring good time!

Set against a backdrop of wild animals and botanical jungle, 2,500 of our region's professional and philanthropic leaders will come to the Zoo for this "must not miss" event.  Wild India celebrates your Zoo's very own elephants, peacocks and tigers paying homage to Indian culture and encouraging guests to dress in jeweled saris, Nehru jackets or black tie optional attire.

Wild India features all of Zoofari's traditional highlights with an opulent Indian festival twist. 

Your adventure begins with a lively cocktail reception, colorful market bazaar, wanderings to the Elephant Reserve and cultural happenings in the historic Vine Street Village area.  You'll wind your way, under the stars, down the beautifully lit pathway of the botanical gardens, for a special glance at the Zoo's newest exhibit, Cat Canyon, on your way to the main tent.  Guests will experience up close animal encounters, dine on scrumptious bites from over 50 restaurants, enjoy signature cocktails and an exciting silent auction and raffle that culminates under the massive "Taj Mahal" tent where business and community leaders will mingle and dance to high energy live entertainment and Bollywood beats!

Last years Zoofari SOLD OUT!  Reserve your ticket to Wild India today to experience the journey of a lifetime.
