If you haven’t been to Safari West in Santa Rosa yet, you need to plan a trip…pronto. This park may be located in Sonoma County, but you’ll feel as if you’ve been transported to the African Serengeti. Here you’ll be surrounded by wildlife and beautiful landscapes. If you’re looking for an adventure the whole family will enjoy, you’ll want to check out Safari West.
Safari West is a one-of-a-kind experience in which you'll feel as if you've been transported to a real African Safari. The park is comprised of 400 acres dedicated to preserving wildlife. Travelers come from far and wide to experience this incredible wildlife park.
The park has been here since the 80s, and was originally created as a home for endangered animal species. Safari West is vastly different from any zoo you've been to. Their mission is to promote conservation and educate visitors on how start thinking sustainably.
At the park you can take an actual safari tour in which you'll be led through breathtaking scenery and herds of wildebeest, rhinos, giraffes, and more.
If you're looking for a more intimate experience for you and your group, you can choose to take a private safari tour. The private safari option is perfect for those who wish to get a little more one-on-one time with the animals. A highly-trained guide will be with you the whole time to answer any questions you may have.
The park also offers "behind the scenes" experiences for visitors who want to know a little more about the animals. During this experience, you'll get up close and personal with the park's many animals while learning how they are taken care of.
The park is much more than a place to gaze at animals. The Safari West Wildlife Foundation's main goal is to educate people of all ages about conservation of our natural environments. The park is dedicated to effecting positive change in the world!
Just like a true safari, there are overnight options provided to you if you find that one day just isn't enough (it isn't). Stay in one of the park's luxury tents for a camping experience you'll never forget.
You'll find Safari West at 3115 Porter Creek Rd, Santa Rosa, CA 95404. They are open 9:00 am to 8:00 pm every day. For more information, visit their website here.
