We enjoyed our first visit to Out of Africa. We were lucky that the day worked out, a Thursday before the park would be closed for two days due to rain. You drive to the main parking lot, park and head to the entrance ticketing area. (Both our AAA or AARP membership gave us a 20% discount for our party of 4.) We were given a map and schedule of what would be happening with times and location. For us things started around 11 and included a critter talk, the safari bus tour, tiger splash, a reptile talk and a carnivore walk and feed. We left via the shuttle back to the entrance at 3. We had a light lunch snack at one of the snack bars. The shows are the key. It’s a must to see them. The animal enclosures are utilitarian in nature. The shuttle bus guides know where to look for animals in the enclosures to see the animals. My tip is to have small bills to tip the drivers and guides that go the extra mile helping.

"My visit to Out of Africa was absolutely fantastic! From the exhilarating Tiger Splash to the captivating Predator Feed, every moment was filled with excitement and wonder. It's evident that the staff deeply care about the animals they rescue and care for. Their passion shines through in everything they do. It's truly heartwarming to see such dedication. Out of Africa is not just a wildlife park; it's a sanctuary where animals are loved and respected. I highly recommend visiting for an unforgettable experience."

Best way to experience the park is with a sleep out. It's well put together. You pick your spot and stay the night. You can bring whatever sleeping gear you want. I chose to sleep out in my sleeping bag. You can wander the park from the time you arrive till the next day. All the animals seem to be alert as the sun rises. It's very peaceful and a good opportunity to enjoy the park without the daily crowds. No shuttles, just you and the animals
