Our Favourites
Get up close to magnificent Black Rhinos and one of the Southern White Rhino bulls on our Black and White Rhino Interactive tour!
Ever wondered what a rhino feels like? Wonder no more. Our unique tour is your chance to touch, feed and learn all about these horned and humungous creatures and even put some of them to bed for the night! As part of your tour you’ll journey through Monarto Safari Park to a behind the scenes area (in our soon to open Wild Africa precinct) to come face-to-horn with a truly impressive Southern White Rhino bull.
With a keeper to guide you, you’ll discover that despite his size and stature this gentle giant often enjoys a tickle behind the ears and a rub between his armoured folds while Black Rhinos are an entirely different species in both looks and temperament
