Your adventure starts from the minute you walk in the door, as you are transported to deepest Africa. Every part of uShaka is decorated in a truly African lodge theme and features fine carvings, magnificent artworks and artefacts from throughout the African continent.

The indoor and outdoor entertaining areas are only metres from the edge of Lake Burley Griffin and have views across the lake to Black Mountain. uShaka is the Zulu word for shark, but also refers to Shaka Zulu, who was one of the most influential monarchs of the Zulu kingdom and a stay here combines the magnificence of Africa with the wonders of the ocean.

Please note, uShaka Lodge is for the exclusive use of those guests staying in uShaka Lodge rooms, however guests staying in Jungle Bungalows and Giraffe Treehouses are welcome to enjoy the lodge lounge area for high tea/light lunch on arrival and after the morning tour until the 11am checkout.
