About the hotel

Creature comfort takes on new meaning with a stay alongside some of the world’s most majestic animals at the five-star Jamala Wildlife Lodge, hidden within Canberra’s National Zoo & Aquarium. Go where the wild things are and stay in safari-style lodge accommodation, offering views over the enclosures or pristine nature. Enjoy an included animal encounter, which could involve meeting a tiger, lion or hyena, having an owl perch on your arm or hanging out with playful meerkats (please note that personal choices and preferences cannot be accommodated).

Jamala Wildlife Lodge is so much more than a once-in-a-lifetime stay; it’s an invitation to learn more about the importance of wildlife conservation. As a member of the Zoo and Aquarium Association, proudly accredited under their Animal Welfare program, the aim of this incredible lodge is to raise funds that help the zoo and aquarium grow and support its breeding programs. Animal welfare is one of the top priorities and animals have the option to be near the room or far away and out of sight. This incredible lodge simply affords you the bucket-list opportunity to stay in opulent surroundings and gain a fascinating insight into the National Zoo & Aquarium’s incredible wildlife.
