Your journey through the Park

Start your adventure

Explore Monarto Safari Park by hopping on our free Zu-loop bus and see our amazing animals whilst hearing more about them from our passionate guides.

A tour through Monarto Safari Park takes approximately 1.5 hours, if you choose not to hop off at our animal platforms. (But you’d miss out on a whole lot of animal fun).

Depending on the day, buses leave approx. every 15min – 30min and follow a loop track through the park.

If you’re planning on making the most of our Zu-Loop buses to explore the park please note we can only store foldable strollers onboard.

There is no pram storage area at the Visitor Centre.
