The 2000ha reserve of open savannah woodland, grassland, and freshwater wetlands provides a unique setting for the Jabiru Safari Lodge, allowing guests to fully appreciate the outback savanna environment and prolific birdlife during the best times of the day.

Delightfully sited on Clancy's Lagoon, the Interpretive Centre is the hub for all tours and activities. The Mareeba Tropical Savannah and Wetland Reserve is a unique community conservation project combining valuable conservation work with environmental education and sustainable, nature based tourism.


With the assistance of volunteers it is run by a not-for-profit environmental organisation, the Wildlife Conservancy of Tropical Queensland. All income realised from sustainable tourism is reinvested into managing the Reserve as well as valuable wetlands and savannah research work, education and conservation programmes, such as the critical Gouldian Finch re-introduction programme.

All tourism activities within the Reserve are operated by Tourism Naturally in a unique partnership with the Conservancy. By visiting the Mareeba Tropical Savanna and Wetland Reserve, you are ensuring that this important work is continued and a sanctuary for Australian wildlife is preserved.
