We did the camel encounter today. So much fun! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. It was fun to see the camels up close as well as armadillos, sloth, and porcupine. It looks like it would be really fun to ride them. They have a few different options and fall is the perfect time as it's not too hot and not too cold. read more

what a great experience! my boyfriend and I took the camel safari ride yesterday. We got picked up at Holiday Inn in Las Vegas. They can pick you up from hotels in the Strip or you have the option of meeting in Eureka Casino in Mesquite. Just reserve the safari and give them a call to arrange the pick up. We arrived at the Camel Safari Ranch after an hour and 24 mins from Las Vegas. First we sat in a classroom and learned the history of the camels, their unique camel herd of both Dromedary (one-hump) and Bactrian (two-hump) camels as well as feeding, anatomy, training, breeding and keeping of these camels. It was very educational and interesting. After that, we took a ride on their Dromedary camels, my camel name is Lodi and he is 13 years old and he is cute. It was about 30 mins ride in the desert near the beautiful Virgin River and breathtaking desert mesas led by an experienced handler. We left the hotel in Vegas around 11am and return until almost 4pm so give yourself plenty of time for the experience. The ranch has 14 camels I believe and Safari owner, Guy Seeklus, was leading my tour. Him and his staff are highly passionate about the camels and super knowledgeable and friendly. You also get hands-on "camel encounters," with both Dromedary and Bactrian camels. I was feeding a 13 months old camel and they liked to be petted too! They also have segway tour and camel encounters, here's the webcite http://www.camelsafari.com If you want a unique experience, this is the place to be, highly recommend! read more

In short: our visit here turned out to be the best pet of our 4 day vacation in Vegas. The details: our 10, 12, and 14 year old kids found this place to be fascinating, educational and so so much fun. Allie and Guy were our guides. Our four hour tour included feeding several type of animals including a real honest to goodness two toed Sloth, camels, Llamas, Alpacas, a hedgehog, Armadillos and a porcupine all along constantly being informed and educated by our guides who clearly love animals and what they do. We got to drive golf carts around. Experience an authentic Mongolian Ger (it's a Mongolian Yurt - "house"). Coffee, snacks, drinks galore and lunch was served as well. Interesting how they gave us an amazing fun experience while educating us at the same time. All in all, very highly recommended. read more

This place is great! Very up close and personal. Guy runs an impressive operation and it is very clear that he loves his animals and they are very well taken care of and happy. He is no weirdo like Joe Exotic. The animals are really something. Fabio and Harold let you get great pics with them. The sloth is cool and they just got some sand cats. We also saw a porcupine, armadillos, dingos, zeedonk, llamas and alpacas. Guy is as nice as they come and is very very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour. It is very clear that they are not interested in profit over the well-being of the animals. Thank you Guy, for an incredible family experience and for taking such great care of your animals. read more

Our son was backpacking through the desert and approached a man at the camel safari asking for water and passage through his property. He was rudely turned back the way he came (even though he was substantially closer to the front gate than the way he came) and threatened rather than helped. We went looking for our son when he wasn't at the designated meeting spot and approached the same man to ask for help finding our son and he was very angry, irrational and aggressive. We will never recommend this place to anyone. They have great reviews so clearly they are only nice to people who are paying them. I am sincerely sorry we trespassed. I really am. We were concerned about our son and seeking help. I'm so sad that someone could be so angry that they would turn away a teenaged boy, on foot, needing water, miles away from anything, and then threaten to call the police on his parents who were looking for him. I will never be attending or recommending this business. read more

We had the absolute BEST Thanksgiving with Guy and his team at the Camel Safari. They truly love their animals and love sharing all of their knowledge on the ancestry of camels. We did their very first Camel Trek, and they took such great care of us! We hiked about a mile each way to the river and then enjoyed a picnic lunch. We loved taking photos with the camels and experiencing each of their unique personalities. Would highly recommend the Camel Trek if you are looking for an authentic experience to learn more about these majestic animals!!! read more

This was something different and very enjoyable. Family was visiting with a 7 1/2 and 3 1/2 year old. The day was very enjoyable for both children. And both have asked when they visit again they want to go back to Camel Safari. The owner was with us of the 5 hour tour and very informative. We rode golf carts as we went through the property. At each stop were were able to get close to the penned camels. The kids really enjoyed feeding and petting the camels. Plus, where else can one see a sloth and porcupine! It really is a behind the scenes tour. Due to Covid the camel rides were not available. We will be back. read more

Oh my goodness it was one of the high points of my life and can not wait to do it again. Michelle and her friend rode the camels and had so much fun. The staff was very knowledgeable and caring toward the camels and other animals there. Valerie and I went on a vip tour with Alex. It was very emotional for the both of us to see our "kids" from Roos. Guy and all the staff and volunteers take such good care of all the animals, Michelle and I will bring people here for camel safari and vip tours read more

Went here for my birthday and it was so much fun. So neat to see the camels up close and get a chance to ride on one. I really felt like I was in Africa, Egypt or Middle East somewhere, places I doubt I'll ever be able to visit in my lifetime. All the handlers were so nice and informative. We stayed long after our tour was over just watching these beautiful creatures. Most of all, the animals seem happy and well feed with plenty of room to roam free. Not locked up in tiny cages. read more

Lynne and Curt Shelley We had a wonderful time. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. The animals are amazing and it was a fascinating experience. Thank you for a great adventure on a beautiful day in the desert! Looking forward to the opening of your glamping experience in authentic, hand built gers and sharing this experience with others. read more

Recommend visiting Camel Safari if you're in town. The kids had a great time! Bring water, sun block, mask and tennis shoes. The staff is fun, personable, and very knowledgeable. The catered lunch is fresh and delicious. Highly recommend. read more

The location is hidden off of I-15. Upon arrival, the process is a little unorganized as we met the eccentric owner, Guy, who showed us around. The ladies led us to see the camels and other animals. Even though it seemed like they were shooting from the hip, we had a good interactive experience with the animals. Everyone was friendly and patient answering all of our dumb animal questions. read more

Amazing experience! Alex, Allie, Randy and Guy did an amazing job helping me setup a one of a kind overnight proposal/birthday weekend for my fiance. The animals were well taken care of and the staff was extremely accommodating. We highly recommend this place for any upcoming events or just a weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. We will definitely be back for a 2nd visit! read more

My husband and I rode camels yesterday and I'm still smiling. A long time bucket list item for me, it was everything I hoped it would be and more. We learned a lot about not only the camels, but a host of other animals they have on premises including goats, alpaca, llama, sloth, a zebra and others. All of the animals were healthy, well cared for, and obviously loved by the owner and his staff. The camel ride was so fun I didn't want it to be over. I would recommend this to all ages. read more

We had a great morning with the animals at Camal Safari! Located about 90 minutes north of Las Vegas, we rode Dromedary camels and got to watch a sloth have her morning pear! There were armadillo, a zebra, a beautiful porcupine and other wild animals to see. The kids helped feed the lama, alpaca, goats and a sweet donkey. Our wranglers were knowledgeable about camels and really seemed to enjoy the camels. In addition to the ones we rode, we met others in their field. Although it's a small operation, they'll come pick you up in Las Vegas or you can drive there. They stress safety for both guests and the animals. Really enjoyed our visit read more

This place is simply amazing. The drive to the facility is beautiful. On your drive you have a great view of the Virgin River. Be on the lookout for wild cattle that like to hang out under the bridge at the entrance to camel safari. Once you are there you will get to meet a lot of exotic animals. Like 6 Banded and 3 Banded Armadillos, African Crested Porcupine, Sloth, Pigs, Goats, Alpaca, Lama, Emu and of course Camels. They have a great educational experience. The care and love they have for their animals show. read more

This was such a great experience! I took my mom, daughter and niece to go see the animals and to pet the camel. I thought it'd be a simple visit, and fairly unmemorable, but it was so much more than what we were expecting. The visit showed us multiple animals, and allowed us to pet the camels. My daughter and niece even received a stuffed animal. It was fantastic! The staff are very knowledgeable and pleasant. I highly recommend this experience! read more

I cannot recommend this place enough. Fast and prompt communication over email. They answered any questions that I had and when we came for our visit, it was nothing short of spectacular. They truly made us feel welcomed into their home. The camel ride is about 45 minutes and the guide tells you great insights into camels and the history of the location. Afterwards, we got to see all the other exotic animals that they had and they were extremely knowledgeable and very kind. I cannot say enough good things, definitely spring for the extra $25 package that comes with a souvenir picture and a stuffed camel.. read more

I book it online, but they never answer the phone call, and left the message but never call back. No trans passing to the property, so end up wasting driving round trip 2.5 hours from Vegas. read more

Went here for the first time to go on the camel trek with my friend for her birthday. It was an incredible experience! The people who work here really do love these animals as well as their jobs working with the public. It is very evident! We had so much fun and really felt like every single penny spent was worth it. They take the time to make sure guests are happy. We will definitely be back again. Thanks a lot to all of you! read more

I've always wanted to ride a camel and an elephant. Well, my 70th birthday gift was going to Camel Safari and riding a camel. It was definitely a highlight in my life. The staff was professional, informative and kind. The camels were wonderful!! Very well behaved and I got to fed my camel, Rader, an apple. After our hour and a half ride, we went inside for a great lesson on camels, saw some of their original saddles from different parts of the world and saw some of the other animals. I got the directions from their web site. It took about an hour from Vegas, but worth the drive. If you stay in Mesquite, you'll have a shorter drive. This adventure is priceless!!! We got to Vegas a lot faster than going to Egypt! It's definitely worth your time and your money. read more

Gifted this to my sister for her birthday. It was an incredible experience. The staff were so pleasant and knowledgeable about not only the camels but also the other animals They made certain that we had a wonderful time. Would do this again in a minute. Alex gave us all the information about not only the camels but the other animals.We learned so much from her. You can tell by the way the staff interacts with the animals that they truly love them and are concerned about their well being. Thank you for making this experience more wonderful than we had expected. We had this wonderful experience on 4/21/19. Anne & Heidi read more

We arrived for our reservation five minutes before our allotted time. We met Alex and Chris who were pleasant and helpful, however this is where anything positive about our experience ends. Although we were early, the owner soon came out and barked orders at us to hurry to get on his golf cart to take us the end of another tour (presumably to save his own time). He drove like a maniac on the golf cart and ignored my sisters cries that she was falling off and had hit her head on it. He then informed us that he didn't have enough food to make us the promised lunch for the trek (which was included in the price we paid) and said he would just take us to a restaurant after (which defeats the point of eating on a trek near the river). After this, we were informed that what we purchased did in fact NOT include a ride on the camel, which was the whole purpose of our trip. The description is very misleading, stating a "camel trek" and not specifying that it is simply a walk next to camels. The owner refused to take us on the camels and refunded our money. Very disappointing. My hope is that either this review helps other people to not make the same mistake in booking the camel trek or that the company explicitly clarifies that the trek does not include a ride on their booking website. read more

What an awesome place! The camels and people were great, Colton was our tour guide for the camel experience and the owner and other staff were there too. There is a private unmarked road to drive down, open the gate and ignore the trespassing signs! lol. Once you arrive head to the back of the buildings to meet your guide and see the animals. They have a bunch of animals there that's not mentioned on their website yet, African crested porcupine, mini pigs, zebra and a zedonk, alpacas, llama, goats and some 6 banded armadillos that they are building an enclosure for, they also have a 2 toed sloth, Ambien, and Shiloh the capybara. Many of these animals are from the now closed Roos n More Zoo. So good to see these animals in lovely big enclosures. There is a little bit of walking and might not be ADA accessible. But they are a very new facility. Recommended but not highly, the cost of $40 per person for a one hour experience without much animal interaction after a long drive from Vegas. No gift shop or refreshments available. read more

Did the VIP feed. Very personal and up close. The guides are super informative and it was a great time! Worth the early time for sure! 10 outta 10 would recommend. read more

My husband and I just visited the Camel Safari. We rode on camels as well as took a tour of the facility and saw the other animals. What an amazing experience! Alex is extremely knowledgeable! We learned so much! We also enjoyed talking with the handlers. This is well worth the drive from the strip and we highly recommend it! read more

My husband, and I very much enjoyed our visit at camel safari. It was very informative, and Guy was a great guide! Thank you!

This was WELL worth it. I loved every single minute of the tour. It was essentially a private tour for but for the price of a general admission. I would DEFINITELY go again. I could listen to the guides just talk all day long, they know so much and have very personal knowledge of the animals as well. They tell you much more than just general facts. The interaction with the animals was fun and not rushed to any degree. I would make this a yearly trip if I could. The guides are as much of an attraction as the animals. You could be of any age and enjoy this. If you're not convinced by their website, I would definitely call them and ask questions if you'd like to find out even more. You can't get this unique experience anywhere else that I'm aware of and definitely not for the price. Oh and the pictures you can get are priceless. You won't be able to get this kind of access at any average zoo. Thank you guys for such a memorable experience! read more

What a great time our family had here! We did the VIP feeding experience and our kids loved every minute of it. We learned so much and truly had the best time. The staff is so personable and taught us a lot of facts about camels and the other animals there. They care so much about the animals, this is definitely a must see if you are in the area. read more

We had an awesome time at the camel experience! The owner and staff are super friendly, knowledgeable and love their animals. The camels are majestic but there are some pretty cute pigs there too. I highly recommend this to everyone! read more
