With something to be enjoyed by everyone this is an experience not to be missed!
Jamala offers the opportunity of experiencing the thrill of close encounters with some of the world’s most dangerous and endangered animals, as well as relaxing in the unique atmosphere of its three individually designed five star accomodation hubs; Giraffe Treehouses, Jungle Bungalows and uShaka Lodge. The African inspired suits lie in the heart of the National Zoo & Aquarium in Canberra and epitomise style and comfort. The combination of opulent surroundings, incredible animal encounters and gourmet cuisine alongside Jamala’s five star hospitality ensures that all guests share in a once in a lifetime experience during their stay.
Since opening in December 2014, the addition of Jamala Wildlife Lodge has been a significant step in bolstering the programs that are run by the National Zoo. The overarching mission is that the funds from Jamala will allow the zoo to continue to grow and support its breeding program. Jamala aims to have their guests appreciate the magnificence and importance of the animal kingdom and believe that the most effective way to do so is by getting them as close to the animals as the animals feel comfortable with.
Sydney Observer chatted to Jamala Wildlife Lodge’s Business Manager, Russell Jackson, about why this overnight zoo experience is a must-visit for the whole family and how they are committed to protecting the future of the animal kingdom.
