Monarto Safari Resort

Not your average stay and definitely not your average neighbours.

Perched on the edge of Monarto Safari Park, this premium resort puts you eye-level with giraffes, zebras, and a few other curious locals. There are 78 guest rooms and suites in total, some with views of the waterhole, others opening out to wide-open savannah. 

Inside, it’s all soft timber tones, bluestone and understated elegance  – safari lodge meets boutique hotel.

You’ll find Marula Day Spa for post-adventure unwinding, two outdoor pools for sun-drenched lounging, and Kutjera Restaurant & Bar where you can sip a local red while watching the horizon blur into golden light. You don’t come here for ‘just a room’ – you come for the experience.

Wake to birdsong and sunrise spilling across the plains.

Start slow, a coffee on the balcony as giraffes stroll past, then step into the wild. Resort guests can book exclusive dawn and dusk safaris through Monarto Safari Park’s Wild Africa precinct for an additional cost: small groups, passionate guides, and animals that roam free, not staged. It’s immersive, unhurried, and unforgettable.

Afternoons are made for the spa, a long lunch, or a poolside nap. Come evening, it’s all glowing skies, slow dining, and the kind of calm that feels rare. Monarto is a place that gently pulls you out of the rush – and into something richer.
