A heart felt thank you to all the amazing crew at Jamala Wildlife Lodge. From the second we arrived until we left we felt so special and loved absolutely every minute of our stay. You all made our experience the absolute best, Jamala should be so proud to have such an amazing beautiful crew onboard. Despite the unfortunate rain, we had the most beautiful time. The staff did not let the rain stop anything, experience after experience, there’s just too much to be thankful for, we can truly say this was definitely , a once in a lifetime treat that we will be saving really hard to be able to do again, t was too good to not want to go for seconds. From the food, to the amazing decor, to all the friendly smiles, the wealth of knowledge from each individual there, to all the beautiful animals and the experience that you shared with us will be one that we will treasure forever. Thank you for all the extras too, they were so special and will never be forgotten, you really made us feel so special. We can’t wait to come back again, especially Savannah when she’s older so she can touch the Cheetahs! THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER 🤗

Jamala is an absolute must have experience. We stayed two nights in the Capuchin room, they were very active and a joy to watch. First day was arriving to an amazing afternoon tea followed by a afternoon tour. We got to pat and feed a range of animals, including a rhino! Then dinner was a cool three courses of amazing food, they catered well for my dietary requirements. The 2nd day involved breakfast followed by a morning tour, This was also amazing and we got many more opportunities to get up close and personal with a range of animals. My personal highlight was going behind the scenes of the tiger enclosure and feeding them. A wonderful lunch was served out on the deck and then we had several hours of our own free time in which we chose to enjoy the pool and continue exploring the zoo. Overall this experience has been amazing and well worth its cost. Thank you to all the staff involved for your wonderful service and knowledge. It was great to see how much positive work was being done around this zoo as a conservation.

Well worth it! Jamala has been on my bucket list for many years and I’m so glad we finally did it! We stayed in the giraffe treehouse for a romantic couples bday getaway, it was incredible! Staff are super lovely, helpful and accommodating.
I thought it would be a once in a lifetime experience however, I’m pretty sure we will be back with the kids for their next birthdays. Thank you so much for making it such a special experience.

Amazing once in a lifetime experience. Rooms were amazing, food was delicious and the staff were absolutely lovely and very accommodating. Wheelchair accessible throughout including animal encounters and zoo tours. Staff were thoughtful and very inclusive which made the experience fun and stress free from start to finish. Worth every cent and we would go back again tomorrow. Thank you Jamala 😊 Just couple of notes regarding accessibility: Corridors to Meerkat suite are slightly narrow but still maneuverable and no hoist on premises but staff are very accommodating with bringing own hoist. Able to bring an ambulance patient transport vehicle to the reception door with room to unload a wheelchair and stretcher. Shower chair was provided by staff and Meerkat Suite, Meerkat room and Capuchan room, and bathrooms are wheelchair accessible. Sofa beds available in each room of Meerkat suite for support workers. King bed in Meerkat suite is high for a smaller hoist but raised off the floor allowing for hoist to go under bed for use.
