Out of Africa Wildlife Park

WIN a family 4 pack here!

November 11, 2013

See hundreds of animals from all over the world!

Lions, Tigers, Giraffe, Rhinoceros, Black Bear, Camel, Ostrich, Cobras, Zebra, Exotic Birds, Tortoise, Wildebeest, Jaguar, Leopards, Wolves, Hyenas and more!

In 1988, Dean and Prayeri Harrison founded Out of Africa Wildlife Park, a preserve born from their single-minded objective of bringing God, people, and animals together in a natural setting.  In 2005, the Park greatly expanded its operations, moving to the high desert foothills of Mingus Mountain in Camp Verde, Arizona on 104 acres that look north toward the red rocks of Sedona and the San Francisco Peaks.   

Dean and Prayeri’s knowledge and understanding of animal behavior and instincts necessarily intensified with each new addition.  They’ve become experienced in preventive veterinary care, learning best practices in contemporary allopathic thinking, as well as in the more esoteric options available in holistic medicine.  They also have extensive experience in evaluating and collaborating on medical treatment, and assisting at surgeries for injuries and illness. 

They added to their intimate knowledge of African animals by conducting photo safaris in Africa.  The trips have helped them construct authentic habitats and have enabled them to share true safari experiences with guests at Out of Africa. 

 

Perhaps most importantly, spending time in Africa imbued Dean and Prayeri with an overwhelming physical and spiritual sense of “home” and of being one with all of life.  Providing others with the opportunity to awaken to this concept has become their greatest pleasure. 

Every day at Out of Africa, the concept of oneness is illustrated with unsurpassed majesty - children are kissed by giraffe, adults are surprised by hyena’s playfulness, and little boys go home saying “when I grow up, my wife is never going to wear a fur coat”.

Zip Line Tour is now OPEN! The Predator Zip line: a high-flying adventure that explores a never-before-seen side of Out of Africa Wildlife Park — one that takes you over the grandeur of the safari park as wild animals underneath you elevate your experience.
