Monarto Safari Park – A Wild Adventure Awaits

Step into the wild at Monarto Safari Park, now welcoming excited explorers through its striking new entrance and world-class Visitor Centre. Here, you can pick up your tickets, browse a spacious gift shop, grab a coffee, and soak in sweeping views of the open plains before boarding a safari bus into one of the world’s largest open-range zoos.

Home to over 50 native and African species, Monarto offers unforgettable face-to-face encounters—giraffes stretching skyward, lions roaring across the savannah, and rhinos crashing through the scrub. Explore 12km of trails or hop on and off the safari bus to discover this immersive wildlife haven at your own pace.

The new Visitor Centre is a destination in itself, with a family-friendly café, playground, gallery and exhibition space—all accessible without a ticket. It’s the perfect meeting place for friends and families coming from nearby Murray Bridge, the Adelaide Hills, or the city.

Opened in May 2025, the Monarto Safari Resort by Journey Beyond offers luxury stays amidst wild surrounds. Relax in comfort and wake up to the sounds of the savannah—it’s nature like you’ve never experienced.

Sustainably Designed, Culturally Inspired

The new Centre, designed by local firms Intro and Studio-gram, blends seamlessly with the Mallee landscape.
