The lodge offers several distinctive accommodation options, each designed to provide a unique encounter with wildlife. The Giraffe Treehouses are set amongst lush surroundings, right on the edge of the Molonglo River, with sweeping views across Lake Burley Griffin and Black Mountain. Guests in these rooms have the opportunity to feed and interact with the resident giraffes Skye and Khamesi at eye level, right from the comfort of your balcony.
Our Jungle Bungalows bring the African savannah to Canberra, offering seamless views from your room into the enclosure of lions and cheetahs, while other rooms feature majestic Asian species like sun bears and tigers!
uShaka Lodge boasts seven rooms, with some featuring lemurs, meerkats or for those who prefer an aquatic experience, the view into a 5-metre-deep aquarium tank! Each room has access to the uShaka Lodge Lounge, adjoining a beautiful aquarium tank and a family of Colobus monkeys, right in the lounge room!
