Sedona Adventure Tours and Out of Africa Wildlife Park team up to bring you the “Wet and Wild“ combination tour, the most unique adventure in Arizona!

You may be visiting Arizona, but you’ll feel like you’re in Africa, gliding down the Verde River in your own inflatable ducky kayak, and surrounded by the lush vegetation of this high desert oasis. After the “Wet” side of your adventure you’ll be off to experience the “Wild” side, at Out of Africa Wildlife Park. Here you’ll witness some of the world’s most exotic free roaming animals from your own safari vehicle, and also have the chance to check out the predator-and-play relationship of a Bengal and Siberian tiger(s) in the renowned “Tiger Splash” show!

Your Out of Africa experience does not have to happen on the same day as your Verde River Trip on the “Wet and Wild” package. You may use your tickets to the park anytime.

Total time on the river part of “Wet and Wild” is approximately 4 hours, from the time you check in, ride the shuttle to the river, go on your river adventure and arrive back at the Adventure Center. Total time on the river is 2 to 2.5 hours covering about 5 miles. You have the rest of the afternoon to spend at Out of Africa. The park closes at 5:00 pm Monday through Sunday.

If you plan on doing both parts of the tour in one you will need to kayak down the Verde river first on the 9:00 AM river trip which back at the Adventure Center at approximately 12:00. Out of Africa is about a 15 minutes drive from the Adventure Center.

 For more information on this one of a kind adventure package please visit Sedona Adventure Tours!

Are you ready for a family adventure like no other, then grab your sleeping gear and join Out of Africa Wildlife Park for a limited-engagement camp-out as they commemorate 25 years in business. The Park will be having two campouts, the first on Saturday, June 15, 2013 and the second on Saturday, August 03, 2013. Join the celebration with an overnight family adventure alongside lions, tigers, hyenas, and bears. Oh, my! 

If you’ve ever wondered what happens at a wildlife park after the last guest leaves, this is your chance to find out firsthand,  the perfect opportunity to see animal behavior under a canopy of stars.  This unforgettable family adventure is not like that of a typical zoo sleepover. Here, your nighttime activities include a Tiger Splash show, a cobra show, a viewing of a made-for-TV Out of Africa Wildlife Park docudrama, and a special walk down memory lane where park founders Dean and Prayeri Harrison recount their previous 25 years of wildlife adventures, their relationships with the animals, and how the park has evolved over 2 decades.

What campout would be complete without a campfire, away from city lights underneath a humbling plenitude of stars? And in the morning, you’ll wake up to the roar of lions and the aroma of a delicious hot breakfast. It’s an experience that will immerse your senses into the sights, scents, and sounds of the wild. Best of all, you won’t have to travel halfway across the world to take your family on this exotic sleepover.  Out of Africa Wildlife Park is located in Camp Verde, Arizona (30 minutes from Sedona).

Spring is perfect to join an experienced guide who leads a hike focusing on the area’s geology. You will learn why the rocks are red, where they came from, where they are going, and more. The hike includes the Eagle’s Nest Trail for great views while also learning about the geology. More than a guided hike, it’s an interpretive experience for beginners as well as advanced geologists. The hike lasts approximately two hours and has a 250 feet elevation climb. For more information on this Sedona hike please call 928.282.6907 or visit Red Rock State Park.
