Shambala Animal Kingdom was a 53 hectares (131 acres) zoological park outside Kuranda, Queensland, Australia. The park was privately owned. It was formerly known as "Cairns Wildlife Safari Reserve", "Mareeba Wild Animal Park" and "Out of Africa Reserve". After being purchased by a Sydney lawyer, the zoo was renamed "Shambala Animal Kingdom". The zoo was closed in April 2013 citing financial reasons. The park maintained a collection of both exotic and native animals. Most exotic animals were transferred to Indonesian wildlife parks.
