OMG this place is so amazing. Five star all the way. We stayed in Lemur room 2 and they hung out mostly on our side. Food was out of this world. Staff are so accommodating and friendly. The zoo is amazing and the tour in the morning was so good. The young man was so great and I cannot explain how beautiful this was. I would love to go back again. xxxx

Absolutely fantastic!

This is a 'must do'! From arrival to departure it could not be faulted. The zoo is super - lots of activities for kids without having to be looking at animals all the time, plenty of places to sit and enjoy your own snacks without having to purchase everything. And the accommodation is next level...rooms are large and beautifully presented, meals were superb and service was exceptional. Absolutely 5 stars!!

A truly one-of-a-kind experience. We were celebrating a milestone birthday, and it really felt like the whole team went out of their way to make our stay memorable, even though I’ve learned this is just Jamala’s standard for service! We loved every aspect of our stay, from our brilliant guided tour with Cooper, our exceptional accommodation in the giraffe tree house and very special encounter with Sky and Khamisi, the incredible afternoon tea, dinner and breakfast we enjoyed and our chance to experience the Zoo before everyone arrived in the morning. This was a bucket list experience, but I’m pretty sure we’ll be back! Best of all, Jamala and the Zoo’s commitment to conservation means staying here makes a real difference for the world’s most endangered animals.
