Jamala Wildlife Lodge offers a truly oneof-a-kind escape. Set within the grounds of the National Zoo and Aquarium in Canberra, it is one of Australia’s most interactive and memorable experiences. Featuring 18 five star, African-inspired suites spread across the grounds of the zoo, Jamala is designed to bring you eye-to-eye with some of the planet’s most extraordinary and endangered creatures. It is no surprise that Jamala has won numerous national and international awards.
Every room is designed to thrill. Imagine sipping champagne while gazing through floor-to-ceiling windows at lions, tigers, or even sun bears! The breathtaking views are paired with exquisite African-inspired art, rich décor and all the luxury expected of a five-star retreat. The result is a seamless blend of indulgence and adventure that ensures your stay is as comfortable as it is unforgettable.
Your journey begins the moment you arrive, with high tea in the grand uShaka Lodge. Here you will share the space with the lively Colobus monkey family and the fascinating inhabitants of a 200,000-litre shark tank, an introduction that sets the tone for what is to come. Guests are then treated to an exclusive tour of the National Zoo and Aquarium, providing rare insights and close encounters with some of the zoo’s most iconic residents.
The indulgence continues with pre-dinner drinks and canapés, followed by a lavish multicourse dinner in the Rainforest Cave dining room. The restaurant has won multiple awards thanks to its exceptional food and service, and this extraordinary space comes with some equally remarkable dinner companions, including white lions, ensuring a night you will never forget. Later, retire to your suite and fall asleep with your wild neighbours just a heartbeat away.
In the morning, wake to the sound of lions roaring and monkeys chattering, a natural alarm clock unlike any other. A gourmet breakfast awaits, followed by time to explore the zoo at your own pace or take part in unforgettable animal encounters.
Jamala Wildlife Lodge is not just accommodation; it is an adventure and an experience that will stay with you forever.
