Out of Africa Wildlife Park, Camp Verde

I loved this place, I came here for the first time on a Friday morning to avoid all the traffic and people coming on a weekend. The staff is super nice and our tour guide Jane was so adorable, we loved her corny jokes she did an amazing job. We did the supermog tour, it is very educational and the animals are shown up close as they talk about how they came to be at the park and interesting facts about them. The animals are VERY well taken care of. The enclosures are huge and they are loved so much I’m glad they are able to keep them so happy and educate people about wildlife. With everything you see in the news it’s always nice to see the babies here so happy. I wish all zoos and wildlife parks were like this towards these beautiful creatures. The owners are very involved in the park and I admire that very much because the park itself has been open for such a long time, it’s amazing they can keep up and take in so many animals after all these years. I love the schedule the park arranged. The tours are followed by shows in between certain times so it gives you enough to grab a quick bite and get a good seat. (Food is limited, wish there was more but I would’ve spent a ton of money so not a big deal because at least the food they had was good!) I’m glad I came here, it was for my anniversary and my husband and I enjoyed every part!

This is a private zoo experience. You will have the opportunity to view magnificent animals closer than ever before. More than once I thought 💭- “how tall is that fence?” & I have a fairly “zoo’s are antiquated” viewpoint. I could tell the animals are very well cared for and served as excellent ambassadors. Educational signs and updated facilities are not prevalent. I felt like I definitely got my enjoyment out of the price of admission. If I could make suggestions to the park that would be greatly appreciated it would be *MORE food & vendors* The pizza was gone before a single Tiger 🐅 splash 💦 ! Invest in some churro & pretzel carts and I think you will see a positive cash flow very quickly!!! Seriously I was starving! *We paid extra for a short zip line experience. It was a splurge, but we had a great time!

This is definitely a place to visit. If you're a local or visitor. The animals are well kept and looked after. We had just visited and our only thing was it was bitterly cold. But this was after the rain and snow storm that passed. The Temps were down in the mid 30's. Be prepared if you're going out in the colder weather. I would definitely recommend having a pair of gloves and hat. The gift shop is awesome. We loved it so much we became members. We're looking forward to going back and seeing the animals and the people that take great care of them.

First and foremost: the Tiger Splash show is still just as amazing as the first time I ever saw it! The Safari tour was good due to an very knowledgeable driver/tour guide with a great personality. The baby tigers were cute. The mountain lion came out just as we got to the fence. It left it's sleeping area to LEAP at least 10 feet up to a vantage perch. We got lucky and caught two workers just as they were checking in on Zeri the baby (5 weeks old) goat. Now for the hard part. If I'm honest, I have to give 4 stars for the total experience because the grounds are looking a bit run down compared to previous trips.

Great place for the family. Took the tour bus through the park. The driver was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. My son was able to feed the giraffes and see the lions eat. There are so many different things to see. I would definitely recommend going, and if you have time, try out the zip line.
