Ox Ranch - Uvalde, Texas

This weekend, we had the incredible opportunity to attend a company event at Ox Safari. Chelsea, April, and Ricky were outstanding, and their genuine care for both the place and the animals was evident. Our time there was truly a blessing—the staff was fantastic, and the surroundings were absolutely beautiful! A special thank you to Chelsea for your dedication and energy; you really made our experience unforgettable!

I came to OX Ranch expecting a once-in-a-lifetime experience—but I was so wrong! This place is beyond spectacular. Everything about OX Ranch is amazing. There is no way you can experience this just once—I’m already planning my next trip!

The lodge and food were exceptional, and the cabins were clean and comfortable. The entire experience felt unreal. The tank-driving adventure was something I looked forward to the most, and it absolutely delivered. Firing a tank and anti-tank weapons was an intense, heart-racing thrill, and the fully automatic machine guns and skeet shooting games were just as exhilarating.

None of this would have been the same without the incredible, passionate staff. Ricky was an outstanding guide who made everything even more memorable. And if you're lucky enough to have Chelsea as your guide, you’re in for the experience of a lifetime! She is truly the heart of OX Ranch—her knowledge and passion for the land are unmatched, and if she sees that you truly appreciate and respect the experience, she might even take you to some of her secret spots.

I highly recommend OX Ranch to everyone—from thrill-seekers to families looking to connect with nature in the most memorable way possible. Till next time!

The absolute best vacation ever! We came here with our family and everyone enjoyed every second of this trip. Ox Ranch is absolutely beautiful and every staff member we came into contact with was phenomenal.

The food is delicious and it was so exciting being able to try different types of meats. The zebra burgers were so good!! The dining staff for breakfast, lunch, and dinner we're all amazing.

We had activities at Drive Tanks and the guys who work there are so FUN!! They are all so knowledgeable and so helpful. They are really good teachers when it came to answering questions and showing us how to shoot the guns we did. It's such a cool place to go to and look at all the guns, tanks and memorabilia. You have to do this while you're there!

Finally, I have to brag that we had the BEST guides ever! Chelsea and FX were a perfect fit for our group. We loved that FX was so chill, he's a great conversationalist and just a pleasure to be around. Chelsea is something special! She is incredibly passionate about the animals and taught us so much about all of them and the importance of the ranch. I highly recommend anyone who comes here do the Safari and learn all about the animals and the ranch.

Thank you for an awesome experience and we will definitely be back!

This place is an amazing beautiful place. Highly recommend Chelsea as your guide! Very knowledgeable and don’t forget to ask her about the caves and how she and her family were a part on finding them! My favorite part of our trip btw.

Rarely do I write a review. However Ox Ranch has been 5 star from begging to end and this has compelled me to rate this out of this world place.
To see the amount of exotic and well cared for animals would be expensive and difficult, but this ranch makes it all happen. The food is made with loving hands and the flavors are amazing. The animals are within arms length and viewed in a safe manner. The cabins are comfortable as you expect from a ranch with all the luxuries. All this being said does not even compare to our guides Chelsea and FX (Francis Xavier). THEY MADE THIS FOR EXPERIENCE THEY ARE ALL THE RANCH TRIES TO CONVEY. The warmth the sincere desire to make our experience amazing really shines through them. I will miss Melmin the giraffe and Chelsea and FX. May you experience this place. It's all worth it.

I'd give a million stars if possible. Our short time spent at Ox Ranch has gone down as 100% the best vacation to date! it will be hard to ever top the experience. Upon arrival we felt like rockstar VIPs. Sonia was so welcoming and kind. The accommodations were top notch, cabin beautifully decorated, comfortable and the amenities offered are off the hook with anything you could imagine. There are so many amazing activities to do at Ox Ranch and Drivetanks, it bananas. Our guide, Justin was great. He is very knowledgeable, patient, kind and accommodating. The food and snacks provided were delicious, plentiful and the service and hospitality was the best we've ever experienced, anywhere! I can't really say enough good things about Ox Ranch, but if you go, you'll know.

I had such an amazing experience at this place. There was so much to do and see and every minute of it was incredible. Drive Tanks kicked everything off with a blast (pun intended) shooting the Barret M107. Tommy, Riley, and Gabriel were fantastic from teaching us about different weapon systems, to ensuring everyone was being safe and having a great time! After that we were led by Chelsea on the safari that just blew my mind. We saw so many animals that were friendly and could enjoy nature. Chelsea was an awesome guide. She was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and also made sure that everyone had a great experience! To round everything out we ate dinner at their restaurant. Our servers Joseph and Nicholas were very talented and ensured that everything was perfect! The food was absolutely top notch and memorable. It was one of the best dinners I’ve ever had. I truly can’t wait to come back to the Ox Ranch, it is an experience unlike any other!
