Africam Safari is a Mexican wildlife conservation park located 16.5 km from the city of Puebla, where animals roam in controlled freedom and in captivity. It is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
Africam Safari is the ideal place for people with an adventurous spirit. Here you can live with more than 5,000 animals of 450 species from all over the world.
This is a completely different experience from traditional zoos, as the visitor can enter the fascinating wild world through African-style trails, on a safari-style tour by car or in one of the buses offered by Africam Safari.
The one who will be observed by more than 10,000 eyes will be YOU.
There are several sections where you can drive among giraffes, antelopes, zebras, rhinos, deer, Bengal tigers and lions, among others, in lodges specially designed to resemble their natural habitats.
Seasonal night safaris are organized, with a dance show. It is also possible to organize camps for groups.
Thanks to the environmental and topographic conditions that have been sought for the life of the different species, their adaptation has been achieved and several of them have been able to reproduce inside the park.

Africam Safari Experiences Link
This safari is the only one in the American continent and one of the few in the world.
Captain Carlos Camacho Espiritu, was the creator of Africam Safari. Originally from the city of Acatzingo Puebla Mexico. Man of multiple dreams and achievements.
Carlos Camacho obtained in his youth the American nationality, so he did his military service in the U.S. Army and even obtained the rank of captain and even the title of aviator pilot, which led him to participate in the Vietnam War.
This knowledge of aircraft allowed him to make several trips to Africa in order to bring wildlife to his home in Los Angeles to begin to form a collection of different species, highlighting a Bengal tiger named Raja, which was his favorite, as it was raised by the poblano since he was a cub.
In the United States, Carlos Camacho Espiritu met and married Louise Wardle, with whom he had 9 children, who, due to their father's hobby, grew up among tigers, lions, bears, penguins and more.
After making his fortune, "El Capitán" returned to Puebla with his family and decided to acquire a large piece of land next to the Valsequillo Lagoon, where he kept the exotic animals he had captured on trips around the world in freedom, so when he realized the attraction his collection generated, he decided to create a zoo.
But this place was not like other spaces of the same kind, as he proposed that the animals could coexist and procreate in conditions similar to those they had in their habitat, an idea that finally came to fruition under the name Africam Safari, a combination of the words Africa and Camacho, on April 2, 1972.
On October 28, 1976, Captain Carlos Camacho died, but his work did not. T he descendants of that great man continued with the project; first his wife, Louise Wardle de Camacho, and after her death his eight children, who inherited from both parents an infinite respect and admiration for nature.

Africam Safari
Africam Safari is a Mexican safari park that was established in 1972 by Captain Carlos Camacho Espíritu. It is about 17 kilometers from the city of Puebla, Mexico.
Africam Safari is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA).
History of the Africam Safari
Africam Safari started as a private animal collection owned by Carlos Camacho Espíritu, a veteran, pilot, radio host and businessman, who lived in Valsequillo, Puebla.
Camacho got the idea to create a park where animals could develop and reproduce their species in areas resembling their habitat in the wild. Camacho called this zoo prototype Africam, a portmanteau of Africa (continent where most of the species in the zoo come from), and his last name Camacho.
Safari Zone
Visitors to the park become immersed in animal habitats, which very closely resemble the wild. The animals roam freely and the visitors can observe them from their own vehicles or the park’s guided buses. Africam Safari has several habitats, including African Savannah, American steppes, Tropical Jungle, Mexican Forest, Tiger Lake, Lion Territory, and walk-through adventure zone.
There are approximately 2500 animals of 350 species that roam freely in a habitat that is said to encourage animal development and reproduction. There are signals next to the way that prevents the visitor from animal attacks, advising the visitor to close the window and not to disturb the animals.
- Delta de Okavango: an area based on the Okavango Delta in Botswana, where most animals from the African steppes, savannah grasslands, Malagasy gallery forests, and Andean regions are found in the park. This section is home to reticulated giraffes, black-and-white ruffed lemurs, ring-tailed lemurs, African elephants, helmeted guineafowls, common elands, waterbucks, impalas, Egyptian geese, ostriches, nilgais, sable antelopes, llamas, mouflons, Barbary sheep, capibaras, Baird’s tapirs, and Asian elephants.
- Oasis: this section is not based on a specific area in the world, it resembles an oasis in American rainforests. This section is home to military and scarlet macaws.
- Desierto de Kalahari: an area based on the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa, where most animals from Central Africa, India, and the Caribbean are found. This section includes white rhinoceros, Grant’s zebras, blue wildebeests, lechwes, Cape buffalo, black-crowned cranes, sarus crane, dromedary, black rhinoceros, and flamingos.
- Serengeti: an area based on Serengeti in Tanzania, where only African lions are found.
- Bakuli: an area based on forests in Bhutan, Vietnam, and India. This section is home to chital, fallow deer, scimitar oryx, Nubian ibex, and sika deer.
- Huasteca: an area based on La Huasteca in San Luis Potosí, where animals from Mexican forests are found. This section is home to the American black bear, Coyote, white-tailed deer, collared peccary, and Canada goose.
- Chitwan: an area based in Chitwan District in Nepal, where Indian animals are found. This section is home to Bengal tigers, wild Asian water buffalo, gaur, blackbuck, and chital.
- Zona de Descanso (Rest Zone): an area where visitors are allowed to leave their vehicles to use the park services (restaurant, public toilets, gift shop, and snack bar). There are four exhibits where hippopotamus, chimpanzees, spectacled bears, and striped hyaenas can be found.
- Yellowstone: an area based on Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming where North American species can be found. This section is home to American bison and elk.
Adventure Zone
The Zona de Aventuras (Adventure Zone) is a section in the park where vehicles are not allowed and visitors must walk to get in different areas. This section includes a butterfly zoo, a bat exhibit, a herpetarium and insectarium, a kangaroo exhibit, and a botanical garden.
- X-Mahana: a garden and butterfly zoo inside a Maya-themed building where monarch butterflies are raised.
- Jardín Botánico Louise Wardle de Camacho: a botanical garden that shows Mexican plant species, mostly regional cactus, agaves and a holm oak forest. Louise Wardle de Camacho was Carlos Camacho’s wife.
- Tarántulas y Otros “Bichos” (Tarantulas and Other “Bugs”): is an herpetarium and insectarium that shows reptiles, amphibians and arthropods.
- Caverna de Murciélagos (Bat Cavern): an exhibit that shows Egyptian fruit bats.
- Canguros (Kangaroos): an exhibit that shows Australian species: red kangaroos, red-necked wallabies, and emus.
This section is home to giant anteaters, agouti, red pandas, Chilean flamingo peacocks, spider monkeys, Morelet’s crocodiles, prairie dogs, southern screamer, tufted capuchins, scarlet macaws, meerkats, African spurred tortoise, kinkajous, blue tegu, hamadryas baboons, trumpeter hornbills, highland guan, gray brocket, African porcupines, rhinoceros hornbills, gray Mexican wolf, Indian pythons, crocodile monitor, savannah monitor, squirrel monkeys, red-handed tamarin, horned guan, patas monkey, big hairy armadillo, great horned owl and black swans.
Nocturnal Safari
Conservation.
Captain Carlos Camacho Espiritu created Africam with the purpose of creating a community conscience about the protection of animals. It is one of the few such establishments in Latin America which includes white tigers in its list of animals.
Africam Safari was the first institution in Mexico to successfully assist reproduction of the golden eagle, which is pictured on the Mexican flag. The Safari maintains a captive population of the Tuxtla quail-dove and has been very successful in breeding this endangered species.
Other conservation programs in the wild in which Africam Safari is involved: a jaguar in the northern Mexican mountains, humpback whales in the Pacific Ocean, flamingos in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexican military macaw, sea lions off the Mexican Pacific Coast, a manatee in Quintana Roo, and many others.

![africa safari puebla A family drives slowly through the Africam Safari in central Mexico; July 25, 2023.](https://imagenes.elpais.com/resizer/v2/T2UYSSGNK5HL7D5WG3MOAOUV2A.jpg?auth=0998a58081a8b8564316b856cb81ae2d7fb7d85be1271ef52ebecba21e8af2d7&width=414)
When one thinks of Africa, images of deserts, sand dunes and mile upon mile without a speck of shade may come to mind. However, in El Oasis de Valsequillo (Puebla, Mexico) a different African landscape unfolds. A tropical savanna climate with distinct seasons and a dense jungle awaits, ready to challenge adventurous explorers. Looking at photographs of this place, it’s easy to mistake it for Sudan or the Congo.
Discovering a tranquil oasis-like haven is no simple task — it often involves venturing to distant lands. But Carlos Camacho Espíritu knew about such a place near his Puebla birthplace. He bought the land and created a 500-acre (200-hectare) space called Africam (not a typo) Safari to provide a safe haven for wild animals. Founded in 1972, Africam Safari is not just a renowned zoo and nature preserve, but also the first safari park in Latin America. It houses nearly 2,000 animals, such as lions, bison, giraffes, lemurs and elephants. The newest resident of this incredible sanctuary is Benito , the giraffe from the northern border city of Ciudad Juárez.
Carlos Camacho, known to many as El Capitán , was born into extreme poverty in the city of Acatzingo (Puebla). At the age of 16, he traveled to the United States in search of the American dream but was immediately deported. He then settled in Monterrey (northeastern Mexico) and became a radio announcer. After saving some money, he made another attempt to emigrate north and successfully arrived in Los Angeles. Camacho soon got a job at a local radio station with a program for the city’s large Latin American community that was relegated to the pre-dawn hours. After many years living in the U.S., Camacho became a naturalized citizen. Later, he founded Mayo drug laboratories, now known as Laboratorios Camacho, with the aim of serving his fellow Mexicans.

Camacho enlisted in the U.S. Army as an aviator, reached the rank of captain, and fought in the Vietnam War . “My dad was many things,” said his daughter Amy in a 2018 interview. “Film producer, actor and entrepreneur who owned pharmacies. But his masterwork is Africam Safari.”
Carlos Camacho married Louise Wardle, an American woman he met through correspondence. Wardle was learning Spanish and wanted to hear native speakers to improve her pronunciation. At the time, Camacho had the only radio program for Mexican migrants in the United States. Wardle fell in love with his voice and they exchanged letters for a year. Eventually, she visited him at the radio station in Los Angeles, and they married two years later. The couple had eight children, two of whom, Amy and Frank, took over the park after both parents had passed away.
In 1976, Captain Camacho was attacked by a tiger named Dientes (Fangs, in English) when some tourists ignored the rules and got out of their vehicle. Camacho jumped out to help them, but was attacked by Dientes. Although the wounds didn’t kill Camacho, inadequate medical care led to septicemia (blood poisoning) and he died five days later. His widow, Louise, took over the management of the park, but she died from a brain tumor four years later. The 17-year-old Amy was left to carry on her father’s legacy.

Amy Camacho served as the CEO of Africam Safari for 40 years. She briefly worked in government (2011-2012) as the Secretary of Environmental Sustainability under former Puebla governor Rafael Moreno Valle, and passed away in 2020 from a stroke.
Her brother Frank currently serves as the CEO of the safari zoo. Previously, he was president of the International Elephant Foundation, and currently serves as vice president of the Latin American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums (ALPZA). Frank Camacho is overseeing the relocation of Benito, Mexico’s most famous giraffe. The 1,200-mile (1,900-kilometer) journey from Ciudad Juárez to Africam Safari should take 40-50 hours.
This is not Camacho’s first time managing the transfer of large, wild animals. In 2016, he relocated two female rhinos, Chacha 1 and Chacha 2, to the Ukumarí ecotourism and wildlife park in Colombia. He also oversaw the transfer of three African elephants, Maggi, Kim and Pirinolo, the latter being a five-ton specimen from Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar’s Hacienda Nápoles to Ukumarí Park.
