Out of Africa Wildlife Park - Camp Verde, Arizona

Wonderful wildlife park to stop at & enjoy for the day! I love how big the enclosures are for all of the animals here. While sometimes it may make it harder to spot some of the animals , it means that they have lots of room to run around, hide and enjoy. I also love that the safari tour is included in the price of admissions, and that they have shuttles to get you around the park if you are tired and do not want to walk back to the car.

All of the animals look happy, content and well taken care of. They all had beautiful coats and some of the big cats even had little pudgy pouches under their bellies showing that they are well fed and taken care of. The tiger splash show is a lot of fun to watch as well and the tiger in the show seems to really enjoy playing with her toys. Crazy to see the trainers jumping into the water with her.

They have a lot of great extras you can purchase if you wish like an exta tour, zip lining, animal encounters and more. Some people might not be happy with the price of admission, but this is a small privately owned wildlife park that has a lot of big cats, bears, etc which are costly to fed. It is also wonderful to see one of the original founders still very much active in the park, when we were there she was at the front gates welcoming guests, answer questions, etc.

The pathways in this park are all dirt & a bit rocky. I wouldn't suggest a stroller with small wheels, you may have a hard time with some of the areas instead I'd opt for one with the bike like tires. Wheelchair wise I'd say an electric one would be best.

I visit zoo locations throughout the USA. They are top three! The rescued animals have "acres" as a habitat. Love how close you can get to animals. Take the expedition tours - Fantastic!
They offer discounted admission if your birthday is in the month you visit. (Buy all other tickets in advance.. except for discounted admission, which you purchase at gate.)

We had an amazing time at Out of Africa Wildlife Park! We did the SuperMog Adventure Tour and it was absolutely worth it. Our tour guide was hilarious and super knowledgeable. We got up close with so many animals so I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique and fun wildlife experience in Arizona.

This was our very first experience here, and I must say, it was absolutely INCREDIBLE. I was very unfamiliar with the park and all the activities, but Barbara in the gift shop was so nice and took the time to explain how everything worked and made sure that we didn’t miss out on any of the fun.

I got more up close and personal with tigers, lions, and giraffes than I have ever been in my entire life. I got to feed a huge tiger and a spunky giraffe, I got to watch the tigers swim and the lions feed, I saw gigantic snakes and watched a very cute sloth munch on veggies, I even got to see a rare miracle - a grizzly bear waking up from hibernation!

The closeness and behind-the-scenes access that this place provides for these amazing animals is extremely impressive, and you can tell how passionate the staff is about their work. It was a very magical day, and I will definitely be back again soon.

Such an amazing place. I've been to quite a few zoos before, this was an entirely different feel and experience.

It was amazing driving through the Serengeti area and being able to see all the different animals in one shared enclosure.

All of the big cats were incredible. It was neat being able to see the tiger splash exhibit, and watching all of the big lions and tigers and mountain lion and everything eat.

I am in a mobility scooter, and was pretty impressed with the accessibility of the entire area. Their buses and tour vehicles are accessible, and I was able to load up in the vehicles in my scooter, which was nice. It might be a little bit difficult for somebody in a manual wheelchair because there is a lot of rock and dirt, but my electric scooter was able to go through most of it without too much problem.

Definitely would come back. Highly recommended for anybody who loves animals, and especially children.

Out of Africa is really awesome! The staff here is really nice and they take such great care of these animals. These enclosures are huge with plenty of room for these animals to run and play, which is very nice to see.

The safari tour is really awesome because you get to learn some interesting facts about this zoo and get to feed the giraffes.

If you're a collector of pressed pennies, they do have a penny press machine here!

We had lots of fun here. We were able to feed the animals, including the tiger. There are a few shows that go into more depth on certain animals. The time spent there was worth it. We didn't feel rushed and we were able to take our time and leave once we felt ready

We were gifted a family season pass for Christmas. The facility is amazing and interactive. It’s incredible to see these beautiful animals up close. The tiger splash show is a must see, as well as the safari bus ride. Feeding the giraffes was our absolute favorite part of our visit. The only thing I would suggest not to spend the extra money on is feeding a tiger. All you do is push a handle to help get the meat to the animal through a fence. Not worth $5 in my opinion but you do get close to them. All staff are very kind snd friendly and happy to help answer questions and give information about events going on in the park. Jessica was our guide on both safari tours and she did an amazing job! On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 3:00 PM (i think!) you can follow the feeding truck around the park and watch all the animals be fed. That was another highlight of our trip!
