Stop for Lunch & enjoy the views at the summit of Mt Lofty Lookout where you can gaze out over the breath-taking divide between city and hills to reflect on your sense of achievement.

Your friendly guide will pick you up and transport you to the beautiful Langhorne Creek wine region. Winding your way through the vineyards on electric bikes, you will visit wineries on the Grapes for Good trail, a conservation initiative of Monarto Safari Park and six wineries, including Bremerton Wines, Kimbolton, Vineyard Road, The Wine House and Bleasdale Winery. After taking in the fresh air and stunning views, and of course a taste or two of the local drop at each stop, you will follow the Bremer River to Lake Breeze. Once you’ve arrived you will be treated to a tasty picnic and bottle of sparkling Blanc de Blanc (with the option to swap to a red or white wine if that tickles your fancy!). Each of the Grapes for Good wineries features a wine that supports an animal at Monarto Safari Park. Part proceeds from the sale of these wines supports Zoos SA’s conservation work to help save vulnerable species from extinction in the wild. Why not collect all six along the trail? Grapes for Good is proof that wine can be a force for good. Every drop can go a little further and make a real difference. At the end of the day, you will be then transferred back to the Manna.

Distance/Difficulty: 15km, easy flat riding

The wild is calling!

Immerse yourself in nature as you cycle Monarto Safari Park before the gates open to the public. Throughout the morning, it will just be you, nature, and the animals as they wake for the day.

See the sun rise over the expansive plains of the park as you enjoy a leisurely ride on an electric bike ride past incredible animals including rhinos, zebras and giraffe. Settle in at the waterhole platform to watch the gorgeous giraffe roam while you enjoy a light breakfast / morning tea including ingredients from local native ingredients sourced from the Ngeragi ya:yun (native food garden) on site.

To finish your amazing safari experience, you will take the walk of the brave during Lions 360, Australia’s only 360-degree lion encounter. This experience gives you a prey’s eye view into the world of these awe-inspiring predators and is guaranteed to leave you in awe.
