Dust kicks up behind a luxury UTV as the city skyline shrinks and the Mojave stretches wide — sun-bleached rocks, creosote bushes, and the distant curve of the Virgin River. Guests trade neon for open air: you’ll pilot or ride shotgun on a guided all-terrain loop that alternates winding desert tracks and short rock climbs, then swap engines for slow-moving safari tram tours and close animal encounters at the on-site zoo.

Dust kicks up behind a luxury UTV as the city skyline shrinks and the Mojave stretches wide — sun-bleached rocks, creosote bushes, and the distant curve of the Virgin River. Guests trade neon for open air: you’ll pilot or ride shotgun on a guided all-terrain loop that alternates winding desert tracks and short rock climbs, then swap engines for slow-moving safari tram tours and close animal encounters at the on-site zoo.
This stretch of the Mojave sits on land shaped by ancient river flows and tectonic uplift; worn sandstone and desert pavements tell a geologic story of flash floods and long dry spells. Indigenous Paiute and later settlers used these corridors for travel and grazing — today camel herds and alpacas give the landscape an unusual agricultural echo. The on-site zoo operates under ZAA standards and mixes naturalistic enclosures with scripted encounters: expect trained keepers to guide introductions to camels, a porcupine, and a two-toed sloth.
Practically speaking, the combined trip runs about six hours with hotel pickup at Town Square Las Vegas. Trails are unpaved and can be rutted; drivers should be comfortable with basic UTV handling but no advanced off-road skills are required. Expect short walking segments during animal encounters and tram viewing. Bring layered sun protection, plenty of water, and a camera with a zoom for animal shots. The operator allows most fitness levels and is wheelchair/stroller accessible for portions of the experience, but passengers with spinal concerns should avoid the rougher UTV sections.
Plan morning departures in summer to avoid peak heat and check weather — flash floods can alter river accesses. The tour blends a hands-on desert drive with curated wildlife moments, making it an efficient, family-friendly way to experience Mojave landscapes and unexpected fauna close to Las Vegas.

6 hours.
Basic mobility and the ability to climb in and out of an off-road vehicle; minimal hiking required
The experience is approximately six hours and includes hotel pickup at Town Square Las Vegas, UTV safari driving, a safari tram ride, guided zoo tour, camel encounter, and bottled water.
No advanced off-road skills are required; guides cover vehicle operation and routes are suitable for beginners, though basic comfort with uneven terrain is helpful.
The tour is family-friendly and stroller/wheelchair accessible for certain portions (tram and zoo); UTV sections require climbing into vehicles and may not be suitable for guests with spinal issues.
The operator may cancel for bad weather or unsafe trail conditions; refunds are available if canceled at least 24 hours prior or if the tour is canceled by the provider.
This corridor of the Mojave lies on ancestral Paiute lands and later served ranchers and miners; introduced camels echo 19th-century livestock experiments in the Southwest.
Stick to designated paths, avoid feeding animals, and dispose of trash—desert soils recover slowly and wildlife is sensitive to human food.
Camel Safari operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
