Ziplining in Sedona: Five Lines Over Wildlife

Five zip lines strung across a wildlife park, the longest one a quarter-mile sprint.

Zip line over Out of Africa Wildlife Park near Sedona on five separate lines and a rope bridge, guided by a local expert, over a 2-hour span. You climb a 75-foot platform, then travel above the park's lions, tigers, bears, zebras, giraffes and rhinos, finishing on the Racing Raptor. A 1,200-foot triple zip that makes up the bulk of the route. Groups stay under 12 unless special arrangements are made. Children from age 8 are welcome. Weight must fall between 60 and 270 pounds.

The experience

Two hours means you can fit this into a half-day around Sedona without abandoning the rest of your itinerary. The zip line sits only 20 minutes from town, so the drive is short and the activity itself is the whole point: no long transfers eating into the time. You start by climbing the tallest structure in Central Arizona, a 75-foot platform where the view of the park spreads out below you before you ever clip in.

The five lines and rope bridge take you over the park's open enclosures. You're not watching wildlife from a distance. You're moving across the space where they live, close enough to see them move. The Racing Raptor closes the tour: a triple zip that stretches 1,200 feet, the signature moment most people come for. A local guide leads the group through the setup, the clips and the landings, so you're not figuring out the equipment alone. Groups max out at 12 people unless you've arranged something larger, which means the platform and the lines don't turn into a queue.

A helmet is provided. The price covers the guide, the transport by private vehicle from your meeting point, and local taxes. Souvenir photos are available to purchase if you want a record of the run. The whole tour is built for people age 8 and up. Younger children and anyone outside the 60–270 pound range won't be able to participate.

• Local guide leading the group through all five lines and the rope bridge.

Is this one for you?Two hours is short enough to pair with other Sedona activities the same day, but long enough that you're not rushing through the lines or the platform setup. If you want a morning or afternoon slot that leaves the rest of your day open, this fits. If you're looking for a full-day adventure with multiple destinations, you'll want something longer.

What's the Racing Raptor zip line like?

The Racing Raptor is a triple zip that covers 1,200 feet and closes out the tour. It's the longest single stretch and the one most people remember. It comes at the end after you've already done four shorter lines and a rope bridge, so you've got the rhythm down by then.

Can I bring my eight-year-old on this zip line?

Children age 8 and older can participate as long as they weigh at least 60 pounds and no more than 270 pounds. The guide will confirm weight and fit before you start climbing the platform.

How much time do I need to set aside for the whole thing?

The zip line itself runs 2 hours from start to finish. Add travel time to and from the park, it's 20 minutes from Sedona, so plan for roughly 2.5 to 3 hours total depending on where you're staying.

What animals will I actually see while zipping?

Out of Africa keeps lions, tigers, bears, zebras, giraffes and rhinos in open enclosures that you pass over on the lines. How close you get and how active the animals are depends on the time of day and the season, but the park is designed so you move directly above their spaces.

Is this zip line suitable if I'm not in great shape?

The tour is listed as suitable for all fitness levels. The physical demands come mainly from climbing the 75-foot platform at the start and holding on during the zip lines themselves. The guide will walk you through every step and can answer questions about what to expect before you commit.

Do I need to bring anything or wear anything specific?

A helmet is provided and included in the price. Wear clothes you can move in and closed-toe shoes with good grip. The guide will give you any other details about what to bring when you book.
