Monarto Safari Park

Bird flu and what it means for your visit: Learn about the precautionary measures we're taking and what to expect during your visit.

Celebrate the tallest animal at the park!

These leggy legends can run as fast as 50 kilometres per hour, only needs between 5-30 minutes of sleep per day, and have a bluish-purple tongue that’s between 45-50 centimetres long!

Join us in celebrating this iconic species by spending a day at the Waterhole, where you can see these graceful animals up close. Get a free giraffe finger puppet when you enter the park, and don’t forget to collect a temporary giraffe tattoo on your way out! (while stock lasts) 

Every visit, Giraffe Safari booking, or spotty souvenir you take home helps support vital giraffe conservation; both here at the park and in the wild!

The silent extinction

While many people believe the giraffe species is safe, the International Union of Conservation has classified the species as vulnerable to extinction with less than 117,000 giraffe thought to be left in the wild.

What are we doing? As a conservation charity, we’re proud to have the most successful giraffe breeding program in Australasia here at Monarto Safari Park.

Zoos SA also partners with the Giraffe Conservation Foundation who are fighting to save the species throughout Africa. Our support has helped to purchase GPS satellite-tracking units that provide a better understanding of wild giraffes’ movements and habitat use to inform effective conservation and planning.

Thank you also to our Habitat Sponsors Omnia for their help in supporting the giraffe at Monarto Safari Park all year round.

You can help!

Adopt a giraffe and support the beautiful giraffes in the waterhole and provide vital funds for our conservation partners who are working hard to save their species in the wild.
