    Focus on the shows and tours!
    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.

    The Love these people show the animals in their care!
    "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

Similar to a zoo, Out of Africa offers a chance to get close up to some different animals. A basic admission gets one a safari ride, several shows, such as Tiger Splash (a white tiger that the handlers get to jump in a pool of water,) and access to walking the grounds where a variety of animals are housed. Appreciated that in one of the shows, The Giant Snake, they allowed everyone who wanted to touch the snake the opportunity to do so. Every show only happens once a day, so one needs to plan accordingly.

Feeding the giraffes is a highlight on the safari, but if they aren't out or don't cooperate, you can find other giraffes in their area and they like to be fed.

To do other activities that are offered, such as an extended safari, tiger feeding, and zipline, you can pay a little more, but again you have to plan to get it all in.

Seeing this once was good enough for my family.

Bought tickets on Groupon but still rather pricey. Admission did not include the tour for a large portion of the park which was about an additional $22.00 per person. If you don’t take the additional tour this is really just a zoo. Schedule for shows//demonstrations very good. Each show followed closely to the next but allowed time to get something to eat or use the facilities. Shows/Demonstrations not what advertised.

We visited on March 29th. We saw two shows - Tiger Splash & Boa Constrictor - and my son liked them. We thought it was very expensive for the experience we received. They didn’t have adequate facilities for water & snacks. All the vending machines were out of order & their one snack shack had a long line that took 15 or more minutes to get through. This is not great on a warm day when you walk long distances through the facilities.

we went on the zipline and in the park, just to give a honest opinion as we travelled quite some time to reach this place, as its marketed as the only zipline over animals. it is overrated, the people are nice, however the zipline is nothing major, and you dont feel much as if you are going over animals. the zoo is not huge compared to other zoos, however the best part we enjoyed was the tour in a old school bus without windows in the animal enclosure, you get to feed the giraffes up close and personal and see some nice animals up close. bottom line is if you are in the area it is nice to visit, but to drive far for this we wouldn't recommend.

Went on Wednesday about noon. Since there would be a lot of walking, it was very hot and I am handicapped, after talking to ticket seller, we decided to come back on Friday when they opened at 9:30 a.m. Arrived Friday at 9:45. There were about 10 cars in parking lot but when we tried to buy tickets for the SuperMog adventure (escorted ride through the park and Serengeti) were sold out. We were advised we should have purchased our tickets online. How on earth would we know that. We turned around and left.

We've been to the Cottonwood area a number of times driving by Out of Africa but we've never spent the time to visit. We finally did and what a joy. We visited on Tuesday when they have the drive thru of the park. What's really nice is you can circle around the park as many times as you want and I highly recommend that because as one of the staff mentioned when we checked in the animals are always moving and she was right. We really enjoyed our morning adventure. I'm glad we finally had the time to explore.

Because of the pandemic, Out Of Africa currently has a drive-thru experience. We’ve been to this park years ago and walked through it. We enjoyed that trip. But we loved driving through! My daughter and I feel like we saw much more this way. We drove through the loop 4 times and saw different animals and different activities each time. My daughter enjoyed standing in the car with her head and shoulders our of the sun roof to see better. The employees were all very friendly, knowledgeable, and cheerful. Definitely recommend!

Any experience that uses live exotic animals interaccting with people promotes animal abuse. Shows like tiger splash should not be occuring anymore. People are happy to see animals in clean large enclosures napping or doing what they do naturally. Become a true sanctuary and you'd have more visitors. Parents teach your children that wildlife doesn't have to perform to be enjoyed.
