Welcome to AAZK’s Keepers’ Accommodation List!

The KAL is a very beneficial tool for all you keepers out there who make it a point to stop and visit zoos during your travels.

The KAL is used to request accommodation with fellow keepers along your travel route, usually in their homes. Many lasting friendships have been created over the years between traveling keepers and their KAL hosts.

If you already have accommodations but would like to make contact with keepers at a zoo you plan to visit, KAL can help with that, too.

If you are attending the AAZK/ ICZ conference in Seattle, and plan to extend your travels to include other parts of the US or Canada, please let us know if you would like to take advantage of the KAL.

For more information or to seek contact with keepers at a particular zoo on your travels, please contact Heidi Manicki at hmanicki@rogers.com . Please put KAL in the subject line.
