　　Imagine being given the opportunity to wake up to lions, eat your meals with monkeys, and even share your bath with bears, all from the comfort of a unique new lodging experience.

　　The Jamala Wildlife Lodge opened its doors in January 2024, which was set up in an effort to educate visitors about aiding the survival of many of the world's endangered species.

　　“It's great for the animals; they're going to get more space.It's great for the viewing public; they're going to get more things to see.It will be great for tourism and just for the local community，” said Richard Tindale, the owner and operator.

　　Spreading across three locations in the National Zoo, the 18 rooms, which range from giraffe tree houses to jungle bungalows, offer a fantastic experience with wildlife

　　The Giraffe Treehouse

　　The Giraffe Treehouse is set among the giraffe enclosures (圍場), and the Jungle Bungalows are luxurious individual suites which are next to either lion, cheetah(獵豹), brown bear, or Malaysian sun bear enclosures.

　　The Ushaka House

　　Housing up to 26 people, the Ushaka House is built around the monkey enclosure and has a built-in aquarium which offers private views of some of the zoo's sharks.

　　The Burley Griffin House

　　Only meters from the edge of Lake Burley Griffin, the indoor and outdoor entertaining areas have splendid views across the lake to Black Mountain.

　　The Shark House

　　The Shark House has its own little jetty(碼頭) and it comes out over the shark tank here and so the people who stay in the room will be able to go to their bedroom and pat the shark.
