Predator Zip Line Tour at Out of Africa Wildlife Park
Arizona’s first and only zip line tour is now open!
The Predator Zip Line Tour located at the Out of Africa Wildlife Park is now open, and is the only zip line tour on the planet where participants soar above exotic predators from around the world. As opposed to “flying foxes” (single-line zip runs) or challenge courses having zip line integration, a “zip line tour” or “canopy tour” has world-wide appeal for zip line enthusiasts who often travel the globe in search of the most unique venues in operation.
The Predator Zip Line Tour is a 2-2.5 hour experience, consisting of five zip lines that zigzag from the Park’s highest point to its lowest. Zip-liners will soar above large predator habitats (various lions, Bengal & Siberian tigers, black African leopards, etc), as well as across the vast Serengeti and Masai Mara habitats—traversing exotics such as giraffes, zebras, water buffalo, antelope, and much more. Guests will also have the chance to observe nearby hyenas, grizzly and black bears, grey wolves, servals, and much more, as they roam naturally within large, marked habitats. Two trained & certified zip line guides will accompany each group of up to twelve guests.
Upon check-in, riders are fitted with full harnesses, helmets and trolleys, and are given a brief “ground school” to become familiar with zip lining. Guests will board a Unimog safari vehicle and are taken to the Park’s high ground, where the adventure awaits from an 86’ tower. Half-inch steel cable suspended from successive towers will guide riders through the Park’s venues. A suspension bridge that connects towers, midway through the tour, will add to the thrill of the adventure. The final leg is sure to appeal to the “adrenaline junkie”: a 1,000 foot long zip over the Serengeti and Masai Mara areas of the park. Alongside the the eco-tour, there will be two, 1,000 foot, single line zip rides that parallel the final eco-tour zip.
In addition to the adrenaline rush of zip lining, riders will observe and learn about the exotic animals from around the world, residing in Out of Africa’s expansive, natural habitats directly below and around the zip line routing.
No experience is necessary, but advance reservations are required. Out of Africa is a 104-acre Wildlife Park located in Camp Verde, off of I-17 and Route 260. Out of Africa is just south of Sedona, and about an hour north of the 101 in Phoenix. Reservations for this ultimate zop line can be made at www.predatorzipline.com. And yes, participants are required to sign a rider waiver!
