I grew up in the Bay Area and have never heard of Safari West (and neither have all of my friends and family)! I learned about it from a friend in the Philippines. My wife and I took our 1 year old there and stayed overnight in their tent (which was furnished with a king sized bed, a heater, and... More

This safari park is amazing! Our family of 6 had a memorable visit spending 3 hours in the jeep outback tour and another 2 hours interacting with the animals inside the preserve. The service was excellent and the food and beverage options on site were great. We would have liked to have stayed for dinner, but we hadn't made a... More

I was treating my newly college graduated daughter to a girls' weekend in Wine Country. We'd visited Safari West when she was just a Brownie Girl Scout, and there was much expansion of the grounds, wildlife and facilities since that time so we thought it would be fun to return and spend the night. Safari West is a large private... More

My husband was having one of the notable birthdays this year, so I wanted to find somewhere different to go, and of course find something that he would consider to be fun. Some friends had done the Safari West adventure, so i checked it out online and immediately purchased an overnight. I worked the day we were going so couldn't... More

This past weekend, I visited Safari West. I went with three girlfriends and we had the most amazing time ever. We paid extra for the "Behind the Scenes" tour and it was worth every penny. Put this place on your bucket list. You won't be disappointed. Must love animals!

I gave my wife an over-nighter at Safari West near Santa Rosa, CA, as a birthday present. We used a special offer through Travelzoo.com., and arrived around noon on a Tuesday. Our room was promised for 3PM, but was available on arrival. The package included an overnight stay in a "safari tent" - a canvas and wood structure built on... More

Safari West is a good place to visit if you want a bit more personal experience with animals (though not as many animals as the many zoo's would have). We had stayed overnight and it could be great part of experience however be prepared if you go early in the season, the nights are cold and you are in the... More

This tour lasts about 3 hours and 15 minutes. You walk for an hour looking at birds, monkeys, cheetahs and others. You then board a double decker jeep for a very leisurely ride to see giraffes, rhinos, zebras, cape buffalo, etc. You get see the animals up close. Most are behind fencing....much like a wild animal park. The tour guide... More

The web site is very good, so check it out. Our tour guide (Terry) was great, explained each animal with interesting facts, stopped for the photo's, and answered all the curious questions. The ride was fun... out and about on 400 acres in a big jeep like vehicle traveling over pot holes and rugged terrain. The animals were amazing, and... More
