Nestled in the heart of Australia's political capital, The Jamala Wildlife Lodge at the National Zoo and Aquarium in Canberra offers guests a taste of Africa from the comfort of luxury accommodation.
加馬拉野生動物旅館位于澳大利亞政治首都堪培拉的中心地帶,就坐落在國家動物園和水族館之中,客人在這里盡享豪華舒適的住宿的同時,還可以感受非洲風情。
Spread across three locations in the zoo, the 18 rooms, which range from giraffe treehouses to jungle bungalows, offer an intimate experience with all manner of wildlife.
旅館的十八間客房散布在動物園的三個不同地點,既有長頸鹿樹屋,也有叢林小房,為客人提供親密接觸各種野生動物的體驗。

理查德?廷德爾是旅館的業(yè)主,同時也負責旅館的日常運營,他說開辦這一旅館的目的是為了喚起人們保護世界瀕危物種的意識。 '
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,' he told The Chronicle.
他對《圖文巴紀事報》說:“這樣做一舉多得:動物們有了更廣闊的活動空間;人們可以近距離觀察到更多的有關野生動物的一切;對旅游業(yè)和本地社區(qū)來說也是大有裨益”。
Funds from the 'once in a lifetime' Jamala Lodge will be funnelled straight back into the breeding programs run by the zoo.
在為人們帶來絕無僅有的體驗的同時,加馬拉旅館的營業(yè)所得將回投給動物園的繁殖計劃。

客房依伯力?格里芬湖而建,無論從屋內還是屋外的娛樂區(qū),都可以欣賞到湖對面黑山的美景。 '
There’s a room with its own little jetty and it comes out over the shark tank here and so the people who stay in that room will be able to go to their bedroom and pat that shark,' Mr Tindale said.
廷德爾先生說:“有一間客房里還有個小碼頭,下面就是鯊魚池。住這間房的客人呆在臥室的時候還能順便摸一摸游弋的鯊魚”。 '
The whole idea is when people are here it’s very interactive – wherever they go they’re going to have an animal pretty close to them.'
“我們的宗旨就是讓來這里的人們享受互動——無論他們呆在哪兒,總有動物近距離相伴左右”。
The Giraffe Treehouses are set amongst the giraffe enclosures, and the Jungle Bungalows are luxurious individual suites which adjoin either lion, cheetah, brown bear, or Malaysian sun bear enclosures.
