About Safari West

Who needs a passport when you can have an African adventure right here at your fingertips with Safari West!?

Nestled on 400 acres in the heart of California's wine country, Safari West is home to over 400 exotic mammals and birds, and it really is something special.

Safari West isn't a zoo, and it's not a drive-through park - here, it's a wildlife preserve where the entire family can experience some of nature's most beautiful animals in a natural habitat. Yep - you're going on safari!

The journey is via a pre-booked tour, and you're taken via entertaining and informative guides that will take you to meet our massive herds of wild antelope, buffalo, and giraffes. While traversing our natural landscape, your experienced guide will share fascinating stories about our collection of over 800 animals, as well as tales of their exotic counterparts in the wilds of Africa.

You'll stroll beneath the wings of some of the most amazing birds in the world and come face to face with all your favorite animals that you might have only dreamed of seeing!

Want to walk on the wild side? Then this is the place for you!

Kids - keep those eyes peeled for some of the more curious animals! Perhaps you'll find yourself eye-to-eye with a towering, curious giraffe, or spot those cheetahs at full speed.

The tour takes 2 hours, and with only 12 guests per safari time, you know you get the upmost attention.

So what are you waiting for kids? Are you ready to channel your inner explorer and head out on Safari? We are - so let's GO!

Pretty cool!
