Planning Your Day Trip


A 20 minute journey by car from Origins Bed and Breakfast is all you require to enjoy a day trip to Out of Africa Wildlife Park. Leaving early in the morning allows you to maximize your time at the park and enjoy the cooler hours before the afternoon heat sets in.


Tips for the trip:


  • Pack water, snacks, and sunscreen for the day.

  • Bring comfortable walking shoes since the park covers a large area.


Arriving at the park around opening time helps avoid crowds and gives you a chance to see the animals when they are most active.



What to Expect at Out of Africa Wildlife Park


Located on over100 acres of rolling hills and valleys nestled below the Black Hills in Camp Verde, the park is home to hundreds of exotic mammals, birds, and reptiles from all over the world. There are several ways to engage the splendor of the preserve, from the free-roaming Serengeti to the entertainment arena and courts, even to the spacious habitats located throughout the park. Each area is designed to give you a chance to see these beautiful creatures and their natural behavior up-close.
