Talk (and Dine) with the Animals at Jamala

Jamala Wildlife Lodge in Canberra offers you the opportunity of experiencing close encounters with some of the world’s most exotic and endangered animals, as well as relaxing in the atmosphere of its three individually designed five-star accommodation hubs: Giraffe Treehouses, Jungle Bungalows and uShaka Lodge.


These African-inspired luxury suites lie in the heart of the National Zoo and Aquarium and are the epitome of style and comfort. The cornerstone of Jamala Wildlife Lodge is uShaka Lodge, decorated with stylish and luxurious furniture and African artefacts and artworks.

While you are here, you can enjoy the company of the curious and captivating Colobus Monkeys and the graceful inhabitants of the 200,000-litre shark tank.

Guests can choose to spend the night within the habitat of some of the world’s most amazing animals. The Jungle Bungalows provide guests with the unique opportunity to bathe alongside Sun Bears, sleep next to a Lion, check out

a Cheetah or admire a Tiger from the 5-star comfort of their African inspired bungalow as they get to know these beautiful creatures in the most personal and intimate way.

The six Giraffe Treehouse suites allow guests to mingle with the friendly animals that reside in a private garden setting. Guests can also soak in panoramic views of the Molonglo River from the balconies while meeting and hand-feeding

the resident giraffe!

Jamala Wildlife Lodge also offers 5-star dining included in the price. You start your evening with pre-dinner drinks and canapes, where some special guests, including white lions or hyenas, may join you. To continue the African theme, you will be joined by other guests at large tables for a delectable, fun, 4-course African gourmet dinner coupled with a selection of some of the best wines. The menu changes regularly and depends on the availability of fresh food at the time. These offerings perfectly complement this once in a lifetime accommodation adventure.

A stay at Jamala allows guests to truly immerse themselves in one of the most unique experiences in the world and take on the thrill of a wild African safari, making it a truly remarkable accommodation experience. During the included tour, guests encounter some of the zoo’s most popular residents, such as rhinos, lions, tigers, giraffes, monkeys and meerkats, for a special opportunity to connect with and learn about these incredible animals.

Jamala Wildlife Life Lodge is a truly unforgettable experience.
