Super fun Las Vegas Tram Safaris

If you’re looking for a zoo near Las Vegas or an animal encounter the whole family can do together, the Safari Tram ride is the best-value option at Camel Safari. No minimum age, no height requirements — just climb aboard and let the keepers do the guiding.

Over two hours, your tram winds through 176 acres of the Mojave Desert, stopping at each animal habitat along the way. You’ll get up-close time with over 30 camels, a zebra, a two-toed sloth named Ambien, an African porcupine, singing dogs, alpacas, llamas, and more. Keepers narrate the entire tour, sharing animal facts, feeding demonstrations, and photo-ops throughout.

This is the closest thing to a drive-through zoo near Las Vegas — and unlike a traditional zoo, every tour is guided, hands-on, and limited to small groups, so it never feels crowded.
