Safari West African Wildlife Tours
Safari West Wildlife Preserve in Santa Rosa, California, is a unique African Safari adventure on a former sheep ranch.
Safari West African Wildlife Tours offers guests a three-hour tour led by an experienced guide. You board a Safari truck and embark on a bumpy ride through the preserve. This tour provides a unique opportunity to experience an African safari without encountering dangerous wild animals.
With 400 acres of land to explore, you’ll have the opportunity to spot various wild animals, such as cheetahs, zebras, and giraffes. All animals are safely enclosed within their respective habitats; feeding them is strictly prohibited. However, we strongly encourage capturing photographs of these beautiful creatures. After your jeep tour, you’ll be taken to the lower compound on foot. Here, you can stroll through the aviary, home to an impressive collection of international birds.
You can observe various animals, including tortoises, fennec foxes, Indian porcupines, cheetahs, and primates on Lemur Island. Reservations are required.
Safari West Tent Camping
Overnight stays are available for guests in an authentic safari tent at the wildlife preserve. Unlike in a typical hotel room, the tent’s walls are made of canvas, with no televisions or internet connections. Due to its remote location, cell phones do not work at Safari West. However, guests can use phones provided in the office or the Savannah Cafe.
Each tent comes with its bathroom and a cozy queen or king-sized bed. Please note that this is not a luxury hotel, so there won’t be any room service or hot tubs. In the evenings, there is nothing to do except read a book or sit on the veranda and take in the soothing sounds of nature.
