Thanks Mama for planning this adventurous fambam day out!
We totally enjoyed it and I didn't expect that I would have such fascination for chimpanzees. Forgive me if it took you almost 10mins to make me get off that wooden chair that was facing the chimp enclosure. I adored them so much. ???????? Also, thanks for giving me another reason to pull out my camera and enlightening me that I love to capture 'life'. ????????????

Monarto Zoo - Mannum, South Australia - Discover Downunder
In this video, Brooke Hansen of Discover Downunder visits the incredible Monarto Zoo, near historical Mannum in South Australia.
Monarto started off in 1983 as a closed special purpose breeding area. It is now an International standard conservation, national and zoological bio-park that supports education and public recreation.
The Park is operated by the Royal Zoological Society of South Australia which has developed over 1,000 hectares of fauna and flora sanctuary and open range zoological park.
Five major habitat exhibits have been developed, including the Asian Steppes, arid North Africa, African plains and Asian grasslands, as the first stage of development at Monarto.
The second stage includes habitats for the Cheetah, African Dog, African Lion and Black Rhino.
The zoo is close by to Mannum Caravan Park. The park couldn't be any closer to the mighty Murray River and even has its own boat ramp! Located 84km from Adelaide, the park features a great camp kitchen, a games room, internet access, a 1/2 size tennis court and a basketball ring.
There are caravan sites and cabins than actually front the river as well as many other accommodation options.

Amongst the must see places of Adelaide, Australia is the Monarto Zoo. I recently visited the zoo and recorded the video for you guys, tried best to get as much clarity as possible. I have intentionally not kept a voice over because I felt the background sound will actually help you travel to that place. Hope you enjoy, lemme know what you think ! Cheers

Located at roughly 70 kms from the Adelaide city centre and a 45 minutes drive away is Monarto Zoo. It is an open zoo spread across1500 hectare. Other than getting to watch the animals from a very close proximity, you get to meet and interact with the zoo keepers who share some fun facts about the inhabitants. My personal favourite is the meal time of the animals where you witness their eating habits. Animals are kept free and each's closure is made just like those animals would need to feel at home. Cheers
[LIONS] A Visit To LIONS 360 + FEEDING at MONARTO Zoo - South Australia
We took a visit to LIONS 360 at Monarto Zoo in South Australia. We also chose to do the optional feeding of the lions.
Due to an excessively windy day, the wind noise is unavoidable, but I've reduced it as much as I can.
The lions at Monarto are totally wild and are not handled by the keepers at all, so they retain their natural instincts and behaviours.
Some aren't too happy with camera, the keepers suspect they can see themselves in the lens.
This is a new feature at Monarto Zoo, which has only been running a few months. As such, the lions are not too familiar with people that aren't the keepers.
The male lions are currently in a different part of the zoo.
The male lions are much more aggressive than the females but the keepers told me they wanted to do the experience with the male lions in the future.
