Highlights:

Opened over 40 years ago, Monarto Safari Park now spans an epic fifteen hundred hectares. It has grown in size and reputation, and once you start exploring from the brand new visitors centre, you will quickly appreciate the world class facility. Entry includes the hop on-hop off Zu-loop bus and informative keeper presentations, and if you are feeling energetic there are 12km of walking tracks. Free parking, cafes, playgrounds and grassy picnic areas ensure a whole day of family fun.

Monarto is home to over 50 species of exotic and native animals. Cruising through the park, eyes peeled for cheetahs, Lincoln was so excited when they came across one right near the road. It was a surreal experience to witness the sleek, beautiful carnivores living happily in such a vast space. While most of the animals roam freely, there is also the chance to get up close with some of your favourites, pat a Southern White rhino, feed a lion, or mingle with meerkats! Lincoln had the thrill of hand-feeding the giraffes, a truly special experience. In the Land of the Lemurs adventure he got to enter the lemur habitat and see their distinct personalities as they pounced and played around him.

With so much space to explore, you can extend your visit with a stay at the premium 78-room Monarto Safari Resort with views into Wild Africa or Savannah Plains. Or you can go full safari and stay in one of the new luxury safari tents including full access to the beautiful main lodge. Savour the flavours at the restaurant, relax at the poolside bar and enjoy exclusive sunset wildlife safaris, available only for guests of the resort.

Monarto Safari Park truly has something for everyone, from high-adrenaline animal encounters to more relaxed observations. It's a place where you can take it all in and create unforgettable memories.
