Get Out of Africa Right Here in Arizona

Whether you already own an Arizona home or perhaps you’ve purchased real estate you’re holding onto until you build your dream home there is plenty to do all across the great Grand Canyon State.

One of Arizona’s best kept secrets is definitely the Out of Africa Wildlife Park, located about 90 minutes north of the Phoenix/Scottsdale/Paradise Valley area in the quaint town of Camp Verde, Arizona. Home to more than 400 amazing animals, Out of Africa Wildlife Park is nestled on 104 wilderness acres at the base of the Mingus Mountain range at an elevation of about 3,400 feet above sea level.

There are many ways to see the park, including the Wildlife Preserve Tour and the Serengeti Safari Tour. On the Wildlife Preserve Tour, visitors enjoy a narrated tram or trolley tour of the Preserve where unobstructed photo platforms provide excellent opportunities to capture scenes of majestic lions, tigers, wolves, hyenas and other predators as they roam in their natural habitats. A little more personal, the Serengeti Safari Tour is a 45-minute narrated tour in a safari vehicle. Hosted by expert park guides, visitors can expect a personal encounter with animals such as zebras, ostriches, giraffes and more, while on nearby hills, prides of lions and other big cats overlook their domain. If you prefer, you can also walk among the Preserve’s habitats where you will frequently see caretakers interacting with the animals.

Additional attractions include the Tiger Splash Arena, a Giant Snake Show and the Community Aviary, home to two dozen exotic birds of exotic origin, including various types of cocktatoos and macaws.
