You will start your Out Of Africa adventure at the MARKET PLACE. Upon purchasing your tickets at the admissions window, you will receive your African Bush Safari Tour ticket and a wristband.
The COMMUNITY AVIARY is located at the Market Place. Residents of the aviary include two dozen birds of exotic origin, including Yokie, a sixteen-year-old lesser sulfer- crested cockatoo. You will have plenty of opportunities to converse with these gorgeous birds, including Mango, an Australian bare-eyed cockatoo, Pari, a red-lored amazon, Olive, a severe macaw. While chatting with Tango, Rio, Pancho, and other residents of the avian habitat, visitors will notice four huge boma columns. Boma is an African Swahili word for a barrier made of branches and sticks designed to keep lions and other predators from killing domestic livestock. In the aviary, the boma columns are designed to be both housing and chew toys combined.
 The African Bush Safari Tour departs from the Market Place. The shuttle station is located in the Market Place. Shuttles transport you to The Wildlife Preserve and The Tiger Splash Arena. Also The Behind the Scenes VIP Tours leave from the Market Place, (reservations are required for this exclusive tour).
Also located at the Market Place is Out of Africa's Wildlife Gift Shop complete with one of a kind gifts and souvenirs including hand painted Ostrich Eggs, African carved giraffes, wildlife cards, stuffed animals and much more. There is something for everyone, including a gift for that hard to buy for relative or friend!
The kids will love the playground near the African Bush Safari Tour departure depot. The Safari Tour location is shaded with seating areas for your comfort and is within view of the Community Aviary.
