Monarto Safari Park
An open-range safari park about 70 km east of Adelaide. Ride a park bus through African savanna-style areas to see lions, giraffes and rhinos.
The park covers about 1,500 hectares and is one of the largest open-range zoos in the world. It recreates African savanna habitats and is home to lions, cheetahs, giraffes, rhinoceroses, zebras and yellow-footed rock-wallabies, among others. Admission includes the park's shuttle bus, and you can get off at each stop to explore on foot. There is also an optional paid Lion 360 experience, where you can observe lions up close from a cage. The drive takes about 1 hour, so you will need a car or a tour.
