Ziplining over animals feels unreal. At Out of Africa Wildlife Park in Camp Verde, you fly over enclosures and see lions, bears, zebra, giraffe, rhino, and more from above, all while moving through a set of five zip lines plus a rope bridge. It’s a 2-hour adventure that’s close enough to Sedona to feel like a day-trip, but exciting enough to anchor your whole afternoon.

I especially like the way the guides run the experience. Safety gear is included (you get a helmet), and the crew keeps things calm and organized while sharing facts about the park’s animals and sanctuary. Names that came up again and again in guide praise include Seth, Jared/Jarred, Dakota, Braden, Matthew, Martine, Nate, and Aiden.

One consideration: at $119.95 per person, it’s not a cheap thrill. If you’re hoping for a bargain, the price tied to five rides plus the bridge may feel a bit high, so set your expectations before you go.

Key Things I’d Remember Before You Go

• Five cables plus a rope bridge means you’re not just zipping in a straight line; you’ll do a full circuit.
• Safety is the main story: you’ll get helmets and clear instructions, with guides described as patient and focused.
• Animal viewing from above changes the whole feel, since you’re watching wildlife in larger enclosures while you fly.
• Small groups (max 12) help keep the pace steady and give you room for questions and setup.
• First-time zipliners are welcomed and guided through the process without rushing.

Five Lines, One Rope Bridge, and Wildlife Views From Above

This is a zip line tour built around the setting of Out of Africa Wildlife Park. Instead of ziplining through trees and guessing what’s below, you’ll be flying over animal enclosures as part of the course. That alone makes the experience feel different, because you’re not just chasing speed—you’re also scanning for movement and watching animals from a higher angle.

The course is laid out as five zipline cables, and it ends with a rope bridge. The rope bridge adds a small change of pace, and it also means you get a different kind of challenge than just gripping the bar and leaning into gravity. If you’ve done zip lines before, you’ll still get a new layout here. If you’re brand new, the structure gives you time to get used to the sensations in manageable steps.

Expect a lot of heart-in-your-throat moments, but also a lot of waiting and positioning. Most of the fun is in the rhythm: gear up, walk to a platform, listen to instructions, then fly, repeat. That pacing is partly why people rate this so highly for families and mixed-age groups.

What the Tour Actually Feels Like (Speed, Wind, and the Safety Rhythm)

A lot of zip line tours are either too rushed or too vague. This one aims for the middle: a professional flow with clear safety checks, plus guides who keep things upbeat. In the feedback, the word pattern is consistent—guides are described as reliable, patient, and safety-first, including when riders are nervous.

You might also deal with wind, and that’s not just theoretical. People mention windy days but still say the crew kept control. If you’re planning your visit during a breezy time of day, don’t panic. It helps to wear secure clothing, listen closely to instructions, and treat the wind as part of the ride rather than a problem to fight.

The tour duration is listed as about 2 hours, which is long enough to feel like an actual outing, not a quick stop-and-go activity. You’ll be moving through several stations, and the hands-on time on the cables should give you that full “I did it” feeling by the end.

Why “Predator Zip Lines” Is More Than a Theme Name

The name Predator Zip Lines matters because it points to what you’re flying over: large mammals in spacious enclosures at the wildlife park. You’ll see animals like lions, tigers, bears, rhino, zebra, giraffe, and more while you move from one part of the course to another. That mix makes the ride interesting even if you’re not a wildlife expert.

One of the best parts for me is how the guides connect what you’re doing to what you’re seeing. Multiple guide pairings came up in reviews—Seth and Jared/Jarred, Braden and Seth, Dakota and Seth, Martine and Braden, Nate and Martene, plus Matthew and Jarred. The common thread is that the crew doesn’t only focus on zip line technique. They also share facts at each stop so you’re not just staring down and hoping you recognize something.

If you care about value, this connection is part of it. The tour isn’t only selling speed. It’s using the park setting to turn each cable into a mini viewing experience.

The Course Stop: What Happens at the Predator Zip Lines Setup

Your tour starts at Out of Africa Wildlife Park (Predator Zip Lines) at 3505 AZ-260, Camp Verde, AZ 86322. Your ride begins at 11:30 am, and the activity ends back at the meeting point.

Even though the course is the main event, the experience starts with prep. You’ll get equipment—especially a helmet—and you’ll follow the guide’s instructions before you step onto the platform. This matters because ziplining isn’t only physical. It’s also about timing, body position, and knowing what to do when you’re suspended before takeoff.

Across the positive feedback, the guides are repeatedly praised for explaining what riders should expect. That’s especially helpful if it’s your first time or if you’re bringing teens who are excited but don’t want to feel overwhelmed. People also mention that guides kept the experience safe even for nervous riders, including at least one situation where a rider needed extra help, handled with care and humor rather than embarrassment.

Included vs. Not Included: What You’ll Pay For On-Site

For $119.95 per person, you’re getting more than the cable ride. The tour includes:

• local taxes
• a local guide and a professional guide
• use of a helmet
• transport by private vehicle
• the tour ends back at the meeting point

Not included items are practical to plan for:

• drinks
• souvenir photos (available to purchase)
• a DVD (available to purchase)

Here’s the value angle: helmets and guided equipment matter because they affect comfort and safety. Transport by private vehicle can also save you time and stress, since the tour handles logistics rather than asking you to figure it all out yourself on the day.

The only cost-related “watch out” is the on-site add-ons. If you want photos, budget for it before you go. On at least one day, the photographer wasn’t available, so if action shots are a must-have, keep a little flexibility.

Price and Value: Is $119.95 Worth It?

Let’s talk straight about price. At $119.95, you’re paying for a guided, safety-equipped activity with a small group limit (max 12 travelers) and a wildlife setting built into the route. This isn’t a generic zip line where you’re racing over empty air.

People’s feedback leans hard toward worth it, and the reasons make sense:

• You get five lines plus a rope bridge, not just one or two runs.
• You’re seeing animals from above, with guides adding animal and park context.
• You’re riding with a safety-focused crew and clear pacing over about two hours.

The potential downside is that a zip line is still five rides and a bridge. One review flagged the price for that amount of running time. So I’d frame it like this: if you want the animal-view angle and you value guided safety, the price will feel more justified. If you’re only chasing speed and counting minutes like a spreadsheet, it might feel steep.

Timing It From Sedona: A Good Day-Trip Choice

Out of Africa Wildlife Park is listed as about 20 minutes from Sedona, which is a huge help for planning. You don’t need a full day of driving just to find a fun activity. With a 11:30 am start, you’ll also have time before and after for food, rest, and another Sedona stop.

Booking is typically done about 19 days in advance on average. That suggests this is a popular time slot. If you’re traveling in busier months or you want a specific day, it’s smart to lock it in early.

If you’re trying to beat heat, note that at least one family report mentioned the platforms felt cooler than expected because they were covered. Weather and wind can change the feel, but the overall setup seems built to handle typical Arizona conditions better than you might expect.

Who This Zip Line Tour Fits Best (And Who Might Reconsider)

This is a strong pick for:

• teens and adults who want a real adventure with a guided pace
• first-time zipliners who want safety coaching (the guides are repeatedly described as patient)
• couples who like adrenaline plus a scenic wildlife angle
• families where kids meet the age/weight requirements and can handle a few suspenseful moments

The tour has clear participation limits:

• Most participants must be age 8 and older
• Must weigh at least 60 pounds
• Must weigh no more than 270 pounds

If someone in your group doesn’t meet the weight range, you’ll want to plan another activity. Also, if you or someone you’re bringing has major mobility limits, you should be prepared for a course with equipment and platforms. The data provided doesn’t spell out mobility accommodations, so I’d use the guide briefing as your checkpoint.

Small Details That Make a Big Difference

A zip line day can be sweaty and slippery—so small choices matter.

Bring:

• comfortable clothes you can move in
• anything you need for hydration since drinks aren’t included
• a calm mindset for the first ride, even if you’re excited

Also, consider timing and weather. This experience requires good weather, and the operator offers alternatives when poor weather cancels the tour. If you’re in town with limited flexibility, check the forecast the day before and be ready to adjust.

Finally, if you care about photos, decide in advance whether you’ll want to buy the souvenir images. Some days photo availability may vary, so treat it like an optional add-on, not a guaranteed part of your plan.

Should You Book Predator Zip Lines at Out of Africa Wildlife Park?

I’d book this if you want an adrenaline activity that also feels like a wildlife experience. The combination of five zip lines, a rope bridge, and a setting where you can actually see animals from above is the core value. The guide vibe—safety-focused, patient, and able to connect the ride to what you’re looking at—comes through strongly in the feedback.

I’d think twice if $119.95 feels hard to justify for you. If you’re price-sensitive or you want a longer, more extended experience, compare it to other outdoor activities and make sure you’re okay with the format: a guided circuit that’s thrilling and memorable, but still measured in five main rides plus a bridge.

If you fit the age/weight requirements and you’re excited by the idea of flying over big animals, this is an easy win for a Sedona-area day.
