Monarto Zoo

Monarto Zoological Park spans an impressive 1,000 hectares, serving as both an open-range zoo and a natural wilderness sanctuary. It's a haven where conservation meets the sheer joy of witnessing wildlife in their natural-like habitats. Picture yourself on a journey through landscapes reminiscent of Africa and Asia. Here, you'll find yourself up close with herds of exotic, grassland-dwelling animals such as giraffes, cheetahs, zebras, antelopes, and ostriches.

The park is not just about common sightings; it plays a crucial role in preserving endangered species. Among its treasures are the Przewalski’s or Mongolian wild horse and the elegant Scimitar oryx. These remarkable creatures add a unique touch to the park's diverse ecosystem. A little-known fact: Monarto is one of the largest open-range zoos in the world, offering a unique safari-like experience just an hour’s drive from Adelaide. Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast or just looking for a memorable day out, Monarto promises an adventure that's both educational and exhilarating.
