Monarto Safari Park, Monarto

We were greeted by very cheerful guides/volunteers upon entry. Hop on and off buses to various animal look out points. I find its better to stay on the bus if u want to see the cats and hyenas. You’ve gotta have a very keen eye to be able to spot the cheetah under a shady tree or the Lions taking a nap during the day. The guides on the bus give very good commentaries on the animals and it’s habitat, so are the animal keepers during show times. I suggest you bring your own bottled water and some snacks. Food can be quite expensive, even if you use the concession card. Covid19 hygiene and social distancing in place, although the dining area can get quite crowded at lunch time. I find the Giraffe feeding enclosure is about the closest you can get to see the animals. Most times we were watching from a distance. We did not do the 360 experience. Overall, a very pleasant (cool) day to visit. 1h drive from the city.

What a lovely and beautiful Zoo. I think this is the best Zoo I have ever been. Animals look healthy, very well take care of and have so much space. Great facilities. Shuttle bus services are on time and volunteers are wonderful and friendly people. Good job everyone. I have complained about business in SA but now I know there is nice people doing a beautiful job out there. 👏👏💙💙😍
