This place must be a reference worldwide for wildlife conservation.
The facilities are breathless. The animals in perfect shape. The staff is amazing.
We hired the Giraffes experience for my handicapped sister and it was one of the best moments we ever had. Our guide (sorry for forgetting his name) was patient, full of knowledge and cared about us the most.
It can be a bit pricey to get one of those experiences, but I strongly recommend them.
Tip: there is a point where you can hire a boat to go to a dam... do not doubt on doing it, besides being a beautiful ride, you will be helping the locals who depend on that tourist activity.

The night safari with Renato was amazing. It’s great that they have the option of vip experience where you have a private guide and a car vs huge bus. In the day light bus probably would be ok, but at night I don’t know what you can see from it. (And the private guide would speak English with you.) Also, if you’re hard to impress or saw everything already the night time experience that you can get only on winter holidays that’s the special thing which might get you excited.

We loved it. All is designed for you to learn a enjoy the animals incredible close to them from an open jeep. Our guide Sergio was amazing he knew a lot about all the animals and we were surprised with all the friendly and welcoming people working together to make this an unforgettable experience. Our other guides Jessy and Carlos took all 13 of us in the closed jeeps to the carnivores area. So much fun worth every penny

The bird show was just spectacular and worth the price of admission, much more than I was expecting!
We enjoyed the safari drive and were surprised by the variety and proximity of the animals.
The rest of the zoo experience was excellent with help from the friendly staff.
Unfortunately our tip driver babbled on in Spanish and refused to answer Spanish questions with simple language. Often the other Spanish speaking customers were answering questions. If tip wants to provide for international travelers they should improve language ability .

We had an amazing experience at Africam Safari! Highly recommended.
We did a special experience / experience exclusiva to see the Rhino and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide Mario really made it special, telling us about the rhino and teaching us how to safely pet him and feed him.
There are so many animals to see even without paying extra for a special experience. We particularly enjoyed a cuddle from a kangaroo. Just be careful, they do not want to stop cuddling!

This place was absolutely beautiful! Seeing the animals in their own habitat is unfortunately not something you always experience.
After we went in with our car, we found the safari cars so we went back out again to get it! It was very much worth it! It's called open air exclusive experience, with a guide. Luckily, they took some time to find us someone who speaks English and they found Liz. She is extremely friendly and funny. She explained every tiny detail, she also told us the stories of each species - how they found them, how they were transported, how they were born and their families' stories! She also constantly asked if we're comfortable or need to use the restrooms, and took PERFECT pictures of us in a Lion King spot and with the lions!😊
When they told us there's no guide that speaks English we thought to ourselves that's fine we know the animals and how they look but we were absolutely wrong😁
Honestly, the experience wouldn't have been the same if it wasn't for her.

I was really excited to see this place, having never been to a safari park before. I had LOVED the sound of it - it sounded huge, like the animals had so much space to roam in natural habitats, with other animals. The reality of it is, it is a drive-thru zoo, and not a good one either. There are a few different climates themed, but they were missing much-needed vegetation. They were only 1 or 2 or 3 of each different type of large african animal, not nearly enough for social herd animals to live happily or behave naturally. There were few or no small animals, which are just as important to ecosystems, and just as interesting. Information about the animals was limited to "African Elephant", "Zebra", "Giraffe". Nothing about their native range size, migration habits, behaviours. All the animals looked SO SAD! I felt horrible knowing I had given money to a business which was clearly neglecting and exploiting these poor creatures!
Please, please don't come here, and don't bring children here. If you want a good zoo experience, I highly recommend Belize Zoo. I also recommend snorkelling tours in Belize and Playa del Carmen, for up-close contact with animals.
I went in 2010.

When first arriving, I was shocked to see how expensive it is: MXN 232 per adult and MXN 225 per child!
However, it was well worth it. We went there on a Tuesday morning and the circuit was basically empty. There were maybe five other cars doing the round. We saw the most important animals you would see on a safari: lions, rhinos, elephants (although Asian and not African), water buffalos. But also giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, tigers, bears, and much, much more.
The most amazing thing was how close to the animals we got, something you cannot get in a zoo. At one point we were face to face with a rhinoceros which was a bit intimidating, but a caretaker walked this huge animal out of the road and we continued our amazing adventure.
I found the park to be extremely well kept, the scenery breathtaking, and the animals to be very well taken care of. They are not in caged and just roam around the property in their own section. The tigers were in a smaller space but had plenty of place to move around. Nearly all animals are in groups.
After the "drive-thru" you can park the car and explore more in a zoo type setting. The kids had a lot of fun with the kangaroos. There is just so much to do and you should plan at least 3-4 hours if you include a lunch break.
We ate at the Kilimanjaro café for lunch. Food was average, portions were rather on the small side but pricing was okay, they even have Wi-Fi. There are public bathrooms throughout the property and these are pretty clean.
Visiting during the week meant that there were barely people on the circuit but also that some attractions or snack bars were closed. However, these attractions were not animal related but rather items like toboggans and the like (which were also at additional cost) so not a big deal.
If was a fantastic experience for the kids (9 and 11) who liked this outing the best. We have been in the Mexico City/Puebla region for 10 days and Africam Safari was their favorite thing to do followed by the pyramids of Teotihuacan, the city of Puebla, the site of Cholula, and finally the town of Tecali with their onyx and marble shops.
So even if Africam Safari is not the first thing that comes to mind when visiting Mexican heritage and this amazing region, it is a good change for young children who might appreciate a break from ancient ruins and old churches regardless of how much they are in awe of this culture.
