Jamala Wildlife Lodge and the National Zoo and Aquarium, owned and operated by a local Canberra family spanning five generations, are dedicated to both luxury and conservation.

 

Revenue from the lodge helps fund zoo improvements and animal conservation efforts, including national and international breeding programs, cash donations, and educational programs. The goal is to inspire guests to support wildlife conservation while enjoying a luxurious and adventurous stay.


Jamala offers close encounters with endangered and dangerous animals, paired with a stay in three unique five-star accommodation precincts: uShaka Lodge, Giraffe Treehouses, and the Jungle Bungalows. Located within the National Zoo & Aquarium, these African-inspired suites combine opulence, animal interactions, and gourmet cuisine, all ensuring a once-in-a-lifetime experience.


Exquisite Accommodations

Guests at Jamala can choose from 18 safaristyle suites and bungalows, each meticulously designed to reflect the exotic charm of Africa. The Giraffe Treehouses offer an elevated view, allowing guests to observe and hand-feed giraffes from their private balcony. Jungle Bungalows provide exclusive views into animal enclosures, offering intimate encounters with

lions, tigers, cheetahs, or sun bears. For a more communal experience, uShaka Lodge offers seven suites and rooms, complete with a shark tank, tropical gardens, a pool and a spa.


Gourmet Indulgence

Dining at Jamala is an event in itself, with guests treated to a gourmet four-course dinner paired with Moët champagne and fine wines. The meals are thoughtfully crafted to match the lodge’s African theme, including seasonal mains and decadent desserts. The unique dining experience allows guests to enjoy their meal alongside Jake and Mischka, two majestic White Lion siblings.


Extended Stays for Deeper Exploration

While a single night offers a magical glimpse into Jamala, many guests choose extended stays to further enjoy the experience. With twoto- four-night stay options, guests can explore different accommodations and deepen their connection with the animals. Each day brings new opportunities for adventure, whether staying in a Jungle Bungalow or the intimate Tiger Lodge.


Award-Winning Excellence

Jamala Wildlife Lodge has received numerous accolades, including the Australian Tourism Award for Unique Accommodation, recognising its excellence in providing unparalleled, immersive stays. The lodge’s commitment to sustainability and conservation has been acknowledged with the Ecotourism Australia Certification. TripAdvisor has also awarded Jamala with the Travellers' Choice Award, reflecting its high ratings and guest satisfaction. These honours highlight the team’s dedication to delivering unforgettable experiences while supporting wildlife protection.


A Model for Conservation Tourism

Jamala Wildlife Lodge exemplifies the powerful fusion of luxury tourism and wildlife conservation. By offering guests immersive wildlife encounters, the lodge raises crucial funds for conservation projects while educating visitors about the importance of protecting endangered species. This innovative approach to conservation tourism addresses the challenges facing wildlife due to habitat loss and human impact.
