PINJARRA ZOO FIELD GUIDE
Asha & Loki Up Close: A 30‑Minute Dingo Encounter on Pinjarra’s Lake
A concise field guide to the small, daily Dingo Encounter at Ranger Red’s Zoo & Conservation Park — what to expect, who can attend, and the practicalities of this two‑participant, 30‑minute session.
Asha & Loki Up Close: A 30‑Minute Dingo Encounter on Pinjarra’s Lake.
Spend a focused half hour with sibling dingoes Asha and Loki: walk one of the animals along a scenic lake or enter a secure enclosure for a playful hide‑and‑seek enrichment session. The experience is intimate by design — limited to two participants — and designed to create a direct, low‑stress connection with the animals under staff supervision.

Meet Asha and Loki, the sibling dingoes
The encounter centres on two related dingoes, Asha and Loki, whose enrichment session allows participants to meet and interact with the animals in a small‑group setting. The session is intentionally limited to just two participants for a quieter, more personal experience.
Walks, play and enclosure enrichment
Activities can include walking one of the dingoes along the park’s lake or joining them for a supervised hide‑and‑seek enrichment game inside the enclosure; specific activities are subject to the discretion of the keepers on the day.
Short, scheduled sessions with a few firm requirements
Encounters run daily for 30 minutes starting at 2:30pm, do not include zoo admission, and are restricted to participants aged six and over; the session is not wheelchair friendly and has a strict two‑participant maximum.
What the day feels like
What the half‑hour feels like
The encounter unfolds as an up‑close, staff‑guided session: participants arrive for the 2:30pm start, complete a required animal‑encounter form, and then spend the 30 minutes either walking a dingo beside the park’s lake or participating in an in‑enclosure enrichment game. A nearby viewing area accommodates spectators while keepers manage the pace and choice of activity to suit animal welfare.
