★★★★★ ★★★★★ Recommended Why the Giraffe Safari is one of RedBalloon's Best Matt 14 December 2025 [Employee of redballoon] An awesome day out at Monarto Zoo. This experience starts at the Visitor Centre where you hop on a comfy air-conditioned safari-style coach for a short ride through the park. The drive itself feels like the start of an adventure and before you know it you’re face-to-face with the giraffes. The highlight is feeding them carrots. Their huge tongues wrap around and grab the carrots right out of your hand. You also learn about these gentle giants and their conservation all while enjoying plenty of time to interact. The whole experience is well-organised, safe and relaxed. Perfect for families, animal lovers or anyone looking for something truly unique. Definitely deserving of the RedBalloon “Best Of” badge! Customer Experience Hi Matt, Thank you for taking the time to share your review and photo with us! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your experience. 15 December 2025
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Recommended Giraffe feeding was amazing! Jaxon 5 October 2025 The zoo was super fun, my favourite was the lions and feeding the giraffes. It was funny when the giraffe's poked out their tongues!! Customer Experience Hi Jaxon, thank you for your feedback.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ Giraffe experience was amazing! Tim 4 January 2020 Exceptional customer service and an abasing giraffe experience to get up close and feed them. The guide was very helpful and knowledgeable too. Will definitely come back!
★★★★★ ★★★★★ feeding the giraffes was awesome Steve 19 May 2019 Up close and personal with the majestic giraffes is fantastic. Would love to do it again. Bus tour of zoo was great to see the other animals roaming in their environment. Great family day out. Great animal interaction experience.
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Awesome day Kristin 9 March 2019 The giraffe experience is magical. You get to see the giraffes up close and hand feed them. The tour guide was helpful and took photos for us making sure everyone had a nice experience and photos. There is only a small group of around 10 so it’s a good amount of people without being too crowded. Would definitely recommend. You also get to spend the rest of the day at Monarto.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ The Giraffe Encounter is brilliant Tiffany 16 August 2018 An amazing experience to get up close to these majestic creatures
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Highly recommend this amazing experience Susan 6 May 2018 This experience was really fantastic, the perfect present! We were expecting to be up on a platform but we were behind a fence with the giraffes bending down whilst feeding them carrots. We were lucky enough to have all 4 giraffes turn up. The guide explained everything very well and was also entertaining. The only downside...the experience seemed to go far too quickly!
