A trip to Africa may be out of reach for most of us… but in the nation’s capital you’ll find a safari lodge where a whole experience is completely wild and awe-inspiring!
The award-winning Jamala Wildlife Lodge is a luxury hotel in Canberra where animal conservation is at the heart of everything. From the moment you arrive in the main Ushaka Lodge – modeled on a traditional African safari lodge – you’re immersed in a world where comfort meets the wild. Every aspect of Jamala is designed to support conservation while giving guests an unforgettable experience.
Accommodation is unique, offering immersive stays close to the animals. From Giraffe Treehouses to Lion Pride Bungalows, and a range of other bungalows and lodge rooms, each stay puts you in intimate proximity with incredible wildlife.
Jamala’s newest residents are three adorable lion cubs, born on-site. Guests can watch them frolic and play safely through floor-to-ceiling bedroom windows – an experience that’s as private as it is magical.
The adventure continues next door at the National Zoo & Aquarium, home to the fastest land mammals on the planet: the Cheetah Boys. Guided encounters allow guests to meet these incredible cats, learn their stories, and observe their natural behaviours up close—one of the few places in Australia to have this type of experience.
Back at Jamala, the day winds down with pre-dinner drinks on the deck and a four-course meal in the Rainforest Cave, accompanied by some of the lodge’s extraordinary residents including the white lions or the hyenas. Guests gather around communal tables, enjoying fine wines, French champagne, and lively conversation – bringing all the magic of an African safari… right here in Australia’s capital.
