OUT OF AFRICA

These are some of the beautiful animals I saw at "Out of Africa" wild life preserve. This is really a great all day trip to take with family or friends. Be sure to arrive when the park opens (9:30) to catch the safari truck taking you up to the top of the hills where you'll not only see but be able to feed the Camels and Giraffes.

The lion and tiger areas are spacious with lots of roaming space and separate areas for Bengals and Lions due to unbecoming behavior from the Lions.

The black bears have cave areas with a large area to roam. During feeding they are given large buckets of vegetables and fish. The trainers go right into the living areas and dump the buckets on the mounds designated as their "table".

The Bengal tigers were unbelievable to watch. The trainers could go into the water arena and play with them as well as you can see swim with them. There were several white tigers that were beautiful to see.

This lone wolf was not alone. He had lots of company. This time of the day all were taking their afternoon naps, posing for pictures.

You can not miss the last showing of the day, which is the feeding of the animals. Catch the tram and you can follow the feeding trucks along and get some great shots as well as a lesson in manners of the wild.
