About the hotel

Opening its doors in April 2026, Safari Lodge is the newest addition to Monarto Safari Resort, offering an immersive African safari experience without ever having to leave Australia. The Safari Lodge is located in an exclusive area adjacent to the main resort, featuring its own central lodge with a restaurant and bar, showcasing local and native South Australian ingredients, along with a pool, gym and firepit for sundowner sessions under the stars.

Every stay includes an exclusive 2.5-hour sunset safari through the Wild Africa precinct in an open-sided Landcruiser, plus two-day general admission to the expansive 1,500-hectare Monarto Safari Park. Take in vast grassy plains where giraffes, zebras and antelope freely roam, as you relax on your private deck overlooking a waterhole. Located just an hour from Adelaide and with all-inclusive dining, free-flow drinks and a daily restocked minibar, you don’t have to lift a finger while you soak up the beauty of this unique region.

This conservation-led experience directly supports Zoos SA’s wildlife programmes, bringing African-style adventure to South Australia’s plains. From sunrise wildlife encounters to sweeping savannah views, Safari Lodge proves you don’t need a passport to enjoy a true safari escape.
