Twilight settles over the Mojave like a slow exhale. The safari tram rolls across open scrub and shaded mesquite, headlights picking out the humps and long eyelashes of ambassador camels that step forward as if on cue. The air tastes of creosote and dust; the setting sun burns the horizon into bands of orange and violet while keepers prepare nocturnal animals for hands-on encounters.

Twilight settles over the Mojave like a slow exhale. The safari tram rolls across open scrub and shaded mesquite, headlights picking out the humps and long eyelashes of ambassador camels that step forward as if on cue. The air tastes of creosote and dust; the setting sun burns the horizon into bands of orange and violet while keepers prepare nocturnal animals for hands-on encounters.
This three-hour VIP experience takes place on a 176-acre desert property on the edge of Las Vegas, where camelids — Bactrian and dromedary camels, plus llamas and alpacas — are kept alongside a curated nocturnal collection. The Mojave’s geology is visible in low, rocky ridgelines and salt-encrusted flats beyond the fences; culturally, the tour nods to the Southwest’s history of introducing camelids for exhibition and research. Keepers provide natural-history context and photography tips during tram stops and keeper-led demos.
Practically speaking, expect light walking on packed dirt at roughly 2,000 ft elevation, limited sun exposure once the tram starts, and close animal interaction under supervision. Guests roast s’mores at picnic tables, so plan for sticky hands and evening chill. The outing is wheelchair-accessible and family-friendly, but animals are live creatures — follow staff guidance, avoid sudden movements, and don’t feed them.
Bring a reusable water bottle, layers for dropping temperatures after sunset, and a camera with a low-light setting. The experience is equal parts education and spectacle: a compact, accessible way to meet desert-adapted animals and watch the Mojave day fade into night.
