Sedona Vacations: Out of Africa Wildlife Park Sunset Safari

Out of Africa Wildlife Park
Savor the essence of Africa during a relaxing Arizona sunset at Out of Africa Wildlife Park!

Out of Africa Wildlife Park is now offering an incredible Sunset Safari experience on selected dates in 2013: Saturday, June 22nd, Saturday, July 20th, Saturday, August 17th.

Your magical evening begins with the tasting of celebrated wines from renowned vineyards of the Verde Valley, including Zabibu A Amani, a grand rouge made exclusively for Out of Africa Wildlife Park by Alcantara Vineyards. You’ll sample a variety of finely crafted wines, all made right here in Northern Arizona by a variety of different wineries. These remarkable wines are beautifully paired with savory appetizers prepared by esteemed local area chefs — all with an African flare.

 As you delight your palate, you’ll sway to soothing African beats in the company of exotic animal hosts to make you feel especially welcome at this one-of-a-kind event. You’ll be toasting amongst friends with your exclusive Out of Africa wine glass. Whole bottles of wine can be purchased at this event.

 Next, you’ll take in the splendor of an “Afrizonian” sunset as you embark on a journey into the Serengeti preserve. You’ll be surrounded by free-roaming, African plains animals, such as giraffes, zebras, sable antelope, gemsbok, addax, and others, that will entertain you with their uncanny behavior while your host narrates the unfolding events. As dusk turns to darkness, these same wild animals engage in a completely different behavior unseen during daylight hours. Here, “wild” takes on an entirely new meaning and you have a front row seat to it all.

Reservations for this special experience can be made by calling 928.567.2851. Tickets are only $79.95 + tax and a portion of the proceeds will go to benefit the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, dedicated to the protection and preservation of Africa’s Wilderness and its denizens, particularly species such as elephants and black rhinos. Space is limited and we highly advise making your reservations as soon as possible!
