Location
Canberra is less than two hours flying from eastern Australian cities like Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne with daily domestic flights available to and from Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth and multiple daily flights to and from Sydney and Melbourne. Alternatively, take the scenic route and drive the three hours from Sydney, or opt to take some small detours to stop at quaint towns along the way.

Experience
Take part in a bespoke guided safari of the National Zoo and Aquarium, where your group will have personal encounters with the animals and learn more about their conservation programs. In the evening, a bus will pick up guests from their rooms for the Rainforest Cave, where they will be treated to an African-influenced dinner in the vicinity of more animals.
