Overnight Safari 27th January 2026

I invite you to join an overnight Art Safari at Monarto Safari Resort.

Here you will be able to luxuriate in your own private room with a balcony that overlooks the fabulous Safari Park Waterhole where the animals congregate to drink and bathe.

We will embark on a wildlife Safari in a comfortable coach leading into sunset.

I have scheduled a charcoal sketching session on the 1st day by the Resorts Pool with a watercolour session the 2nd day before we depart. These mini workshops will encourage you to explore ways of quickly capturing the Parks gorgeous collection of wildlife with my guidance.

Our visit will help to support Monarto and the fabulous Resort initiative as well as giving us a chance to be up close with nature and stunning creatures.
