This was a unique experience! It was impressive to see bears, mountain lions, tigers, giraffes, zebras and African lions so up-close. Some of the animals were ones you rarely see other places. The Tiger-splash was entertaining because the tigers arent trained and they act just as a wild tiger familiar with humans for years would. It was unpredictable.

Very glad we planned a stop here. We have been to numerous smaller zoos, rescues and wildlife habitats in the U.S. and this place ranks with the best. Animals looked really healthy and well cared for. Extremely large enclosures and diverse terrain. We took a tour on their Super Mog (a covered UniMog truck with bench seats in the back. Great views since you were seated several feet off the ground. Brittany guided our tour and you could tell she loved her job. All the animal keepers were very informative.

Nice walk through zoo, the kids loved it. All zoo staff was friendly and knowledgeable about all the animals. Lots of cool encounters with the animals. We didnt try the zip line because the kids are too small but it definitely looks fun.

Took the 5 yr old grandson on an education trip with my wife and I. Staff is very courteous, humorous and very customer friendly. Grandson loved all of it mostly because of how close you can get to all the wildlife. Very affordable and very gratifying experience. Great way to spend a Sunday with the family. Get there early for Tiger Splash, worth every penny.

We had a really good time here! The bus tour through the habit at the beginning is really fun! The tiger splash show was cool too. We got a mini tiger philosophy lesson while they were playing with tiger during the show. It was really refreshing to hear that they arent training their tigers (or any of their other animals) like circus animals for performances. They dont force them to do shows they dont want to do. Its all based on the animals decision to trade toys for food and vice versa. All of the animal shows they had were on the educational side. It seems like the staff here has a passion for what they are doing. Overall a good vibe throughout the park!

Sooo good. Walk or tram or safari ride through the park. Definitely go during feeding time. Various shows and presentations. Snack bar food is actually great and the staff is very welcoming. Went with young adult-aged teenagers and they were pleased. Lots of small kids around and they were enamored. Worth the entry fee. I have never been so close to lions and tigers in my life and Ive been on a South African safari.

First time going. The tour drivers are fun and engaging. All staff was great, super nice. Animals are obviously happy and their enclosures are large and natural. We added the close encounter with sloth and my son loved it. My animal lover of a son said he loved it.

Out of Africa was an amazing experience for my family and I. We were treated to up close enclosures and beautiful, comfortable, happy animals. We spent the extra money and got a private encounter with Bart, the sloth! It was so fun! Absolutely recommend, we will go back another time!

It was a lot better than I had imagined. Worth a trip. They take you on a tour, they have shows included in the ticket, you can walk around and see the animals, you can pay for zip lines.Loved the tiger splash show.I truly appreciate the fact that these animals are rescue animals and arent just locked in for amusement purposes, and the animals are well taken care of.

Great place, great animals that are healthy and well taken care of. The Safari tour was a great experience. Paid extra to meet Bart the sloth, definitely worth it and I highly recommend it. We will definitely be coming back again and again!

This is a must see and do! Great staff, HEALTHY animals in real life habitats.... Interaction is key here and none are trained. Amazing trip...nothing like the horror you see on TV with these run down sanctuaries. This is the real deal with real caring and fun people to look over this place. God is watching down on this beautiful piece of Africa-Arizona!

LOVED our visit here. Our tour guy Josh was amazing! He has such a great personality and relationship with the animals. Definitely recommend paying the extra for the supermog tour as you get to be up close and watch the tour guide feed the animals as he talks about them. The tiger splash was also so fun to watch! They do a great job here.

Entrance looked old and run down and it is hot in Arizona, but once in it was pretty neat to see the variety of animals and they had shaded shows with water sprayers. Overall pleased with our visit.

Seriously amazing! We have been twice now and we are glad we became members! The animals are so beautiful and their basic safari tour (included with admission) puts every other free zoo tour to shame. The staff are super friendly and you can tell they really care about the animals and all of the visitors! Even the shuttle driver was a hoot!!!! Looking forward to many more trips! So worth the relatively short trip from Phoenix!

Excellent place to visit with your family I really enjoyed it .Being together round animals seeing the Tigers, lions, wolves, and much more its an amazing opportunity to enjoy Gods creation. Surely recomend it.

This was awesome, being so close out in the open to safari animals. The owner was around in different places and even showed us a cobra that he handled. He was very gentle and soft-spoken and obviously the animals were all loved by him and the staff.

Family-friendly safari style wildlife park. Geared more for younger children than teens & adults. You can get pretty up close and personal with some beautiful animals, and the guided bus tour is very informative.

Great Zoo! We went on a Safari tour with Keith as our tour guide, and it was amazing! They don’t have the widest variety of animals, but they take fantastic care of the ones they have. Plus, they have exhibitions throughout the day where you can pet the animals and watch them do tricks and such. You could definitely spend a full day or two here. They are a private zoo, so they don’t receive government subsidies. I wish their gift shop were a bit larger or had more variety, but we didn’t go for the shopping. This is probably my favorite zoo in Arizona, for the individual touch and the direct contact you have with the zookeepers like Keith. Everyone we met was very friendly and seemed happy to be there.

Love love love this zoo! We came on our birthday month so we were able to get free admission into the zoo! This zoo is so fun, you’re able to be so close to all the animals and even feed the giraffe on one of the car rides! We really enjoyed the showing with the hyenas and see how high they’re able to jump and hear them laugh! Such a fun experience!

A MUST SEE!!!! Ive been to other sanctuaries and dozens of zoos across the US and Central America, but have never had a better experience than here. The animals are clearly happy and active all day long. I am sick of going to a zoo to see poor jailed animals that have become lazy just waiting in their cage to die. Here they have tons of room to roam and call their own territory. The coats on all of the animals were shiny and healthy. The animals I saw fed were given real meat and not processed meats. The Super Bog was money well spent with excellent guides.We went there thinking we would only be there an hour or two. We spent 5 hours and still didnt do everything we wanted to do and see.

First visit to out of africa wild Park and slightly disappointed! Bus rides were nice, drivers were informational and funny. We were all super disappointed and concerned about the care taken during this pandemic. We were shocked to see employees taking our food orders and making our food, did not wear masks. Social distancing was none existent nor was wearing a mask properly enforced. The area for the reptiles seemed poorly taken care of but being able to walk around the huge area was nice. All the large animal exhibits and how close you can get was super amazing. Willing to go again but better procedures and care needs to be put in place.

Fun. Better than a Zoo. It was fun to watch them play with a tiger and a mountain lion like they were house cats! Admission includes admission to all the shows and a ride through The animal habitats.

Friendly staff. Soooooo many animals. Up close viewing. Great experience.

A MUST do for everyone. You DO NOT want to miss this experience. We loved our experience

Surprisingly really big park with a lot of cool animals to check out. Unfortunately did not have very many places to sit with shade which is okay. Just make sure to have plenty of water available and other things to help you keep cool. Even when it was 89 out when we visited, it got really hot walking in direct sunlight if you go when they open. I would highly recommend doing the SuperMog Adventure tour since they take you to each of the big animals and tell their story and a little bit about their species. We didnt feel like we missed anything after taking the tour. Also everyone was so kind and really do care about the well-being of the animals which is a huge plus.

Going in the middle of August was probably not the best idea. The staff was very friendly and eager to educate visitors. But with the heat it was hard to see most animals which is understandable. But what we were able to see was pretty awesome. Driving through a zoo is a neat concept. Just remember the drive thru exhibits are still animals separated by fences from the vehicle. I thought that animals were able to free roam like other drive thru parks

Took the family during the predator feeding time and it was amazing seeing the animals up close tearing apart the raw meat. The hyenas laughing before being fed was amusing. The weather was in the low 70s, so it was the perfect time to visit as well.

An awesome private wildlife park. The animals looked well cared for and the staff was accessible.

Fantastic place for people of all ages. Next time we want to do the ziplines, but we didnt have time.

Awesome. VIP recommended. Worth it. Our personal guide Kaitlyn was knowledgeable and passionate about the animals and their home.

Definitely suggest taking the tour to get close to the animals. That was better than any zoo.

We really enjoyed this zoo. The animals all have massive exhibits and actually seem happy. You can tell they are well taken care of and the staff was simply amazing. We did the Sloth encounter with the guide Stacy and she was so nice! She let us feed and pet Bart the sloth and knew all the answers to our questions. We watched the critter encounters and the tiger splash and loved it all. We cant wait to go back.

We upgraded to the hour tour and were so happy we did. We all had a great time from 5 yrs to 65 yrs, good time for all!

We went on a girls trip here with my step daughter best friend and niece. We had so much fun. This park is truly amazing!!! We did the last zipline as we arrived too late to do the whole park. We will definitely be back here as soon as we can be. I definitely recommend getting there as early as possible so you have enough time to see and do as much as possible. Thank you Out of Africa for having such an amazing home for the animals and sharing it with us!!!

Love love love! A bit pricey but its worth it! The staff was very nice, its my husband birthday so his admission was only $10 10 out of 10!

Just do it! You get this closeness that is missing at many establishments.

A little disappointing at first. But as our day went on the animals started coming out more. The hyena showing was amazing and the guy working with them was quite entertaining. None of the animals looked underfed unlike your normal zoo. Definitely worth a visit.

One of the BEST family owned zoos I have ever been to! The owners make you feel like family, and the animals are so incredibly happy️

An absolute must do! The African Safari is one for the baby books - incredibly memorable and beautiful. Plenty of fun snacks for the kiddos, and AMAZING customer service. We’d scheduled a special encounter with Bart the sloth but got stuck on the highway due to a wildfire. Just as we were about give up on the chance to meet him they called and gave us a new time slot. Bart was so sweet and a fascinating little creature. Cannot recommend this spot, staff, and animals enough. Worth every penny and we will be coming back in the winter.

I just read all the neg comments and I disagree with most. Those who gave a neg review because they do like animals in a zoo like environment had those opinions prior to visiting the park, so you should not have gone in the first place. I can only comment on my specific experience. My wife has MS and does not walk well. So we signed up for the private tour which cost around $180.00 per person. I was fine with that price for what we received. The weather was windy, very cold, but not raining. There was only one other family on the tour with two children. They lasted half way then asked to quit the tour as the kids were miserable. That left me and my wife and the young lady giving the tour was extremely nice, accommodating, and conducted the tour as if she had a full load. She even made a special stop just to get us blankets to help with the cold winds. We found our experience to be amazing. So comments about rude staff does not define the whole park. I was planning a family revisit however, i am very concerned about not enforcing covid policies of wearing masks and spacing. For that reason alone we have to make other plans, but if not for covid enforcement we would definitely be visiting the park again.

Enjoyed the visit. The tiger splash is a must see. We were able to most of the large animals actually moving around and engage. If it is your birth month, it is only $10.

The tour guides are great and knowledgeable and have corny jokes thatll make you laugh. The different animals they have rescued and raised are great. Its not too big or overwhelming. Definitely a must visit for people of all ages.

I like how I got a discount on admission because of my birthday which can be reedem during my birth month not just on the actual day. I didnt like that the zipline had no availability even though throughout my whole stay which was from open until 3PM there was multiple opportunities to book a spot for my party of 6. The food was good. My party had the corn dog, pizza, and the ham and cheese sub but they ran out of pizza by 1PM. Over all, I had a good experience for my first time but I personally saw a lot that could be improved to want to go back an experience it again.

This is a very clean well cared for wildlife park. We had the pleasure of Brian as our tour guide. He was fun, knowledgeable, friendly and enjoyable. We would recommend to anyone who is passionate about animals and want to see them well cared for.

Great place to take the kids or for anyone to spend the day. All most like being in Africa seeing the animals. A very interesting time watching all the different animals. Go early this time of year. The afternoons are very hot. Fall and winter are best.

I took my daughters here during the social distancing restrictions in early May. Even though we couldnt attend any of the shows, we still saw almost all of the animals up close (except the bears). There were employees throughout that shared facts and made sure we were okay.I highly recommend checking it out if youre looking for something fun to do with young children.

The nearly 2 hour drive from Peoria is completely worth it! I love that they educate you about each of the animals and make it fun at the same time. You get to be so close to the animals that you feel a personal connection much greater than seeing them at a traditional zoo. We did the SuperMog tour and added on the Sloth feeding. Getting to feed and pet Bart was the highlight of this trip. My husband loved it so much that we are planning on going back soon with my parents so as to share that experience with them!

Great place to drive through and see animals. Very informative staff.

Great place. You can tell that all the keepers really care about the animals under their care. If you live close buy the yearly membership is well worth the price. Easily pays for itself. Love the animals as well as the staff. Tiger splash is amazing. The creature feature is informative. Snake show not my thing but cool that you can learn about them. Always something new to see no telling what the animals will be up to that day.

Loved it! We spent about 4.5 hrs in the park , i would reccomend purchasing the ticket that includes the SMOG tour. The staff is very knowledgable about all the animals. Very up close and personal experience!

What a dust bowl of an experience. All the trails are dusty and gravel. Its to hot for that. The animals are hiding. There are better things to do in this area.

There are many animals, even including some from areas outside Africa. The staff I interacted with were all amazing and well informed on the animals and activities. Every animal appears to be well taken care of.

Been on a week long trip and this place was the only good part. Great experience. Feeding the tigers was pretty lame since you just push a tube through the fence but the rest was great.

Fun place to bring the family in northern AZ. Animals all exhibited in natural setting. Most animals were rescues. Shows had emphasis on education.

Out of Africa Wildlife Park is a perfect place if you want to get really close to the wildlife and interact with them! The tour guides are energetic and really know their facts. I would recommend doing the Safari tour first! Then we walked around the park on foot and saw the rest of the park. Watched the Tiger Splash show which was exciting to see such beautiful creature play and eve got to fee the tigers!! A great place to bring family and friends!

Had a blast here! They have shows, tours, zip lines and special activities like feeding a tiger. You can tell they love the animals too. A+++

Great place, the animal enclosures are large which is nice for the animals. The SuperMog tour was awesome, you get closer to animals than Ive ever been before. Highly suggest the sloth encounter with Bart. He is so soft and chill and will eat snacks our of your hand!

This park was Amazing and Ashton was even more so. This was a very special day planned for our daughter after losing her grandfather. We were very late for the sloth encounter but Ashton took the time to personally give us the meet and greet with Bart. I will never forget her kindness. The shuttle drivers and safari tour drivers were top notch as well as the gift shop cashier. Just a perfect day. We will be back soon!

The drive-thru zoo experience was well worth the trip and the cost. We saw many of the animals up close, were able to talk to caretakers and the lines moved at just the right pace.

The guides were amazing and the tiger splash show was really funny. There is a wide variety of animals and they are all rescues, so they each have their own interesting stories which the guides will tell along the way. 10/10

Looking a little rundown. Definitely needs some updating and cleaning. The reptiles and animals behind glass are barely visible because its so dirty. Its a great place to go but could be better.

Simply amazing, can be hard to spot animals. But other than that it was super fun!

Friendly staff and great layout. So many cool animals that are obviously being well cared for!

Had a great time with my two kids. They had many beautiful tigers and much more! Also had fun zip lining! Cool experience.

Out of Africa Wildlife Park is a great experience. They take very good care of their animals and none of the animals are taken from their habitats in the wild to be brought to the park. They are all rescues from homes, zoos or other captivity situations.The animals are all very well taken care of and look healthy and happy. On Friday afternoons they do the feedings which is really fun to watch. All in all the park is a very good place to take kids to learn about big cats and other animals as well as have fun watching shows and viewing other exhibits.There is not a whole lot of shade, so dress accordingly and wear comfortable shoes because. there is the potential for doing a lot of walking. There are 2 concession stands and a number of vending machines scattered throughout the park, all of which take cash and card. If you dont want to spend the money on that, you are welcome to bring in drinks and snacks.

This place is awesome. They are very friendly here and the animals all seemed very well taken care of. Would definitely recommend stoping here

Way better than we expected. Small, but very personal. You can get super close to the lions and tigers. Dont miss the Tiger Splash.

It can seem a little pricey, but I assure you it is worth it. There are tons of animals to see and they build their enclosures as true to natural habitat as they can get. Some exhibits feature animals you wont see in any park for miles. The shows are fun. You have a choice to walk around or take a trolley, but bring a lot of water and sunscreen!

Love this place, if youre ever here treat yourself to the VIP tour. It is well worth the money!If youre into photography, plan ahead and do Kathleen Reeders photo workshop here. Amazing!Animals are all well cared for and you can tell the staff all love what they do.

We had a blast and got to see 98% of all the animals.

Me and my family loved this place. the up close views of all the animals especially in the early morning was just awesome. i recommend taking the first tour of the day to feed the giraffe and seeing the sites. found the zip line to be a bit pricey. take the shuttle to the top and walk down is another recommendation instead of walking from entrance to the top. also come on the month of your birthday and pay $10 admission is another tip.

Loved the bus ride tour (included) in your admission. You get to experience the animals up close. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell they enjoy their job. Ive never seen animals so alert. I think because they get a lot of interaction throughout the day with different tours going on. Made it fun to watch and enjoy them. I would recommend getting their as soon as they open. They animals are more excited for their treats.

Highly recommend this place. I have been there twice and would go again. I would recommend paying upgrade for smog tour. This place is amazing to watch animals have so much space to roam and play. Each animal has about 2 acres. Staff was so nice and very knowledgeable. Tour guides are also trainers so the animals interact with them. All the shows are great, and no animal is trained its all done through play and natural instinct.

I was so excited to go to this place but I had a very bad experience with the people at the shaved ice shack. I was waiting for the tiger show to start and me and my husband were very hungry so we headed over to the shack, we ordered and the man was very rude he threw my food down and gave us dirty looks. Later after the show which wasn’t to bad I asked where I line up for the zip line and they were very rude about showing me. I was hoping I could spread the word about the places but I have nothing good to say and I will be informing my friends and family to think twice about going here.

The hyenas stole the show for me! I loved all the animals but the fact they have hyenas made me excited! Make sure to pack water and nice walking shoes, by the way!

Great park. Cool animals but displays leave you wishing they were better. There is a lot of chain link fence and very little signage about the animals. Very cool though and worth the visit.

Nice little park that brings you close and personal to wildlife.

Great family adventure. You can be within feet of these beautiful wild animals. Lots of fun

Went on my bday. We did the zipline. Everyone from the entrance till the end gave great customer service. Fun place . You must visit. Reasonable prices.

Want an amazing place to visit. Staff is incredibly friendly and informative. My kids had an amazing time and the shows are extremely fun. Especially the Tiger Splash.. such beautiful animals. The trainers in there with the tigers are very fun to warch.

Had a great time, just a few miles from where I live. Lots of fun to ride the bus as well as walking around. Tiger plash is a very fun show! The staff at Out of Africa are amazing.

Animals are happy, healthy and well cared for. Lots of space to spread out and many options to experience park through shows, tours, ziplines, horseback, jeep tours, etc. Not as much animal variety as a typical zoo but this is not a zoo. Its an animal sanctuary and the people really care for the animals. Shows are one of a kind and better than any Ive ever seen.

Was a good fun day spent here! All the animals looked happy and healthy!

I absolutely loved this place! You really get to get up close and personal with the animals here, and you can really tell that the staff love their animals! We got to meet the owner while we were there, and there is no doubt at all the he is proud of, and very much so loved his park! On top of the awe-inspiring park, at the end of the day, you can even put the cost of your ticket towards a membership, which we definitely did! We will be back soon!

It wasnt the best wild life park. But it also wasnt the worse. The park had many kitties. Would of like to see more animals

You are missing out on something very special if you havent been to this place. This place truly brings Africa in to Arizona. I was amazed with the fact that this was a privately owned. This place is spread across 100 acres and cant recall a place that offers to give you a view of so many big cats. I have also never seen a place where animals were so clean and happy.

Loved our tour there... Seeing all these great animals so close is such an eye opener experience... But take lots of water in the summer it is unbearable the heat..

Wow what a great experience! From the zip line to the tiger show this experience was awesome. The zoo was full of animals and its really well kept. Highly suggest the zip line. We went on a rainy day and still had a blast!!

Great experience! It was educational and an amazing opportunity to see the big predators close up.

Great place. Nice to get out of Phoenix and be outdoors. Prepare to walk and have water. Seeing wildlife this close is awesome!We did not eat a full meal but did pick up a couple snacks from food area.The Founders are quite lovely people!

Loved it! Couldnt believe how close you can get to the animals. They all seemed at ease and it didnt seem like they were confined. Definitely recommend if youre driving from scottsdale to sedona or vice versa.

Outstanding venue, with many opportunities to see animals from the world. It would be nice for the different habitats to have signage for the Tuesday drive through as no one is at the site to tell what animals are in the habitat and their stories. Summer is not a particularly good time to be there as most of the animals are hiding from the heat. Otherwise, its a really good haven for the creatures.

We visited Out of Africa on July 13th, it was 96 degrees, but cooler than Phoenix that day which was 115 degrees. Im 48 and have some health issues, but normally get around zoos and such fairly easily. This park isnt great for walking, all the paths are sand and/or mud pack, and would be a horrible choice for those with strollers, wheelchairs, or canes. They do have a vehicle that takes people to 4 different parts of the park, which helps, but it definitely isnt a good part to walk in entirety. Also, not much shade throughout the park. The employees seem to be very happy and care about the animals, at least thats how it came across to us. The animals were neat to see, and appear to be very well cared for: for instance, all the water bins (which appeared plentiful) were visibly clean and sanitary. Animals seem to be well fed. All in all, Im sure we will be back eventually with grandchildren, but we didnt feel like it was something we needed to do again any time soon.

Wonderful, I recommend Out of Africa to everyone it is better then any amusement park. Everyone makes you feel like they are excited that you are there

Its an awesome park with fun things to do and amazing animals to see. Its a bit on the expensive side, but this is explained at the park; they receive no outside funding. The parks existance is wholly dependent on tickets and other things they sell. Included with the purchase of a ticket are animal shows, so dont miss those unless theres something else fun that you just have to do, (and believe me they offer other fun stuff too).

Out of Africa really cares about the animals and the animals show it. They have lions, tigers, hyenas, giraffes, leopards, zebras, a rhino and other animals. The tiger show is great as well. Check this place out!

This is our second visit and never disappointed.

Get up close and personal with animals from Africa. Clean park, bring lots of water. Love feeding the giraffe on the Safari tour. You can take shuttles to get to anywhere in the park but we preferred walking to see all the animals MAKE SURE you watch the tiger splash show. It was incredible seeing the tigers jump and play with the trained staff. The staff is very informative of all the animals. We also did the zip line, that was really awesome.

Hand on experience, up close and personal with the animals.BEST EXPERIENCE EVER..HANDS DOWN....

I would go back here if I was going to use the tram system they have. I wouldnt walk this again. I saw that the tram people seemed more like guides, we walked, we missed animals, had no info on anything. This isnt flat ground. This is on dirt up hill in the sun & heat, nothing like a zoo. Recommend taking the free transportation. I also missed the gift shop if they had one.
