Jabiru Safari Lodge

Jabiru Safari Lodge
The pace of life at Jabiru Safari Lodge is dictated by nature. From early morning wildlife safaris to sunset cheese and wine, hikes along the kilometres of tracks through the Reserve, wildlife spotlighting, stargazing in the spectacularly clear tropical nights, or paddling hand-crafted timber canoes - this is rush hour outback style!

Guiding and Touring
Whether exploring by foot, electric boat, canoe or vehicle, Jabiru Safari Lodge allows guests to fully experience the wildlife and Tropical Savanna environment. Safaris take guests by vehicle deep into the heart of the Reserve to explore lagoons, usually teeming with birdlife, with an expert local guide.

For a more personalised experience, allow our guide to spend some quality time with you, locating many of the rare and elusive bird and animal species. Alternatively, strike off on you own to explore at your own pace the 12km of marked walking trails.

The quiet electric motors of our eco-cruise allow you to get up close and personal to the many waterbird species on Clancy’s Lagoon. Alternatively, canoe at your own pace around the tranquil Lagoon.
