BREAKING: Monarto Zoo will be transformed into the world's largest safari experience outside of Africa.
A $40 million investment from Gerry Ryan OAM, owner and founder of Jayco Australia, will see the construction of a luxury resort, restaurant, function centres and glamping facilities.
This investment follows the federal and state government's $15.8 million commitment to construct a new state-of-the-art Visitor Centre at Monarto.
Nature and wildlife tourism has been growing by 10 per cent year-on-year over the past five years.
This new experience will turn Monarto Zoo into one of Australia’s must-visit nature and wildlife destinations.
Friends, we're BURSTING with excitement because we've got some wild news to share: a top-secret project we've been working on is finally ready to be revealed today, WE'RE EXPANDING!
We're transforming from Monarto Zoo into MONARTO SAFARI PARK – the largest safari park outside of Africa, all within an hour's drive of Adelaide!
Complete with a luxury resort and glamping facilities, Monarto Safari Park will offer epic new safari experiences including open-sided vehicle tours... through herds of roaming animals and a huge walk-through lemur habitat.
The $40 million expansion is made possible thanks to Australian businessman Gerry Ryan OAM, who will build and operate the resort and glamping facilities, giving YOU the opportunity to WAKE UP IN THE WILD for the first time ever by 2022!
A transformation this big isn't going to happen overnight, so while we'll be operating as Monarto Safari Park from today, we're working towards a full name transition by late 2021, when we celebrate the opening of our new visitor centre.
Expect to see some changes around the park and online, but in the meantime it’s business as usual, which at the moment means BABIES GALORE from cheeky chimps to lanky giraffe and more on the way!
‘Imani’ the 11-month old White Rhino calf has died. At this stage, the exact cause of death remains unknown (initial results indicate blood clotting).
His mother, Umqali hasn’t had much luck in the past few years.
