Animal Encounters and Experiences
At Out of Africa, you get very close to the animals, and during the safari ride, you get to hand feed giraffes. The closeness and behind-the-scenes access that this place provides for these amazing animals is extremely impressive, and you can tell how passionate the staff is about their work.
Safari Tours
The safari was amazing! Our family absolutely loved the safari and encountering all of the animals! The staff and guides are very knowledgeable and had great rapport with the animals, which made the safari even more enjoyable. The highlight of the visit is the safari tour where you get to feed the giraffes. I love that they come so close to you. Very beautiful animals! Unfortunately you have to resist the urge to pet them. The safari tour was shorter than expected but the giraffes made up for that.

Jessica was our guide on both safari tours and she did an amazing job! Our tour bus guide Lucas, who told us he has been working for 5 months, was an absolute professional. He was very informative, animated with the animals, and really made the tour fun. He answered questions and told us some fun facts about the animals. Both drivers were awesome. Enjoyed our tour very much.
We visited today and took the Supermog. Our guide was Tony and he was amazing! Great personality, extremely knowledgeable and conveyed his love for the animals. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! The emphasis the entire staff puts on the well being of the animals is wonderful. I can't wait to return and bring the grandkids. The super mog tour was definitely my favorite and huge shoutout to KARA she was an EXCELLENT tour guide, very knowledgeable and loved her little jokes thank you kara❤️
Predator Feed and Tiger Splash
I would strongly recommend the predator feed. Seeing the powerful animals in action was exhilarating, and it offered a unique perspective on the animal kingdom that you won't want to miss. We were lucky to visit on a Sunday so we can watch the predator feeding. I highly recommend to go on a day when that’s happening for the additional experience.
The tiger splash was amazing & definitely worth seeing. It was neat being able to see the tiger splash exhibit, and watching all of the big lions and tigers and mountain lion and everything eat. The tiger splash show is a must see, as well as the safari bus ride.

Other Animal Encounters
We all loved feeding the giraffes, meeting the mountain lion, other big cats, and encountering all of the other wildlife. The kids were thrilled that we were able to watch a snake get fed a turkey in the reptile house - it was very exciting! I got more up close and personal with tigers, lions, and giraffes than I have ever been in my entire life. I got to feed a huge tiger and a spunky giraffe, I got to watch the tigers swim and the lions feed, I saw gigantic snakes and watched a very cute sloth munch on veggies, I even got to see a rare miracle - a grizzly bear waking up from hibernation!
Outside of the reptile house there's a beautiful bird named Apache. If you speak to him using his name he will say "hi" or "hello". We loved him! Meet Thumper, the African Crested Porcupine, and get ready for an overload of cuteness! This one-year-old is happily savoring his meal, and you won’t want to miss it! Come on out and see Thumper and all his friends.
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 3:00 PM (i think!) you can follow the feeding truck around the park and watch all the animals be fed. That was another highlight of our trip!

Additional Information
Accessibility
I am in a mobility scooter, and was pretty impressed with the accessibility of the entire area. Their buses and tour vehicles are accessible, and I was able to load up in the vehicles in my scooter, which was nice. It might be a little bit difficult for somebody in a manual wheelchair because there is a lot of rock and dirt, but my electric scooter was able to go through most of it without too much problem.
