Safari West Tours

Excellent adventure! Very well run; the guide was very knowledgeable, and the proximity to the animals was amazing! We had a great time. I highly recommend this adventure!

Safari West was such an amazing adventure from start to finish. We got to see so many beautiful and unique animals up close, and the entire experience felt both exciting and educational. Our guide was incredibly informative, friendly, and passionate about the animals, which made the tour even more enjoyable. I also loved learning about the conservation efforts and hearing fun facts throughout the safari. One thing I didn’t realize before visiting was that they have cabins available for overnight stays. After seeing the property, I can honestly say it would be such a fun and memorable getaway. We are already planning to come back for a longer stay and would love to experience one of the behind-the-scenes tours next time. Highly recommend Safari West for families, couples, or anyone who loves animals and nature.

We’d really enjoyed the outing and Kyle was awesome! To see the exhibit’s was amazing, the giraffe’s, different types of antelope and the rhinoceroses was a wonderful experience.

Amazing location! The tour of the property in big safari Jeep with Gina the excellent guided Tour was outstanding!! What a place… Girafes, Rhino, Zebra and lots of animals from Africa are here not in a cage but free in a beautiful place with lots of space. We did not stay this time but they have a camp to sleek and a delicious restaurant. Do not miss also the boutique .. a Must. Do not miss this place everybody is so knowledgeable and so friendly! A place for couple, friends and a family! A GEM🙏❤️🦓

Loved the experience The first 40. Minutes are walking. Not good for someone with mobility issues Wish we had know about the add to feed animals. I hear that is memorable

It was good. I thought i’d see more of a variety of animals and i thought i would see the giraffes closer up.

I've lived in Sonoma County for years and somehow had no idea Safari West existed until about a week before we visited. That alone should be a crime. My niece and I went last summer and were genuinely blown away. The property is impressive -- giraffes, rhinos, ostriches, storks, and more, spread across what feels like a real savanna tucked into the California hills. The animals have real space and the whole experience feels nothing like a traditional zoo. The highlight for both of us was riding on top of the open-air truck. We figured it would be a nice touch -- it turned out to be the best part of the whole day. Up there you're eye-level with the giraffes and close enough to the action that it never feels like a tour. Our guide knew the animals individually and kept things lively and educational without being lecture-y. If you're anywhere in the North Bay and haven't been, stop waiting for a reason and just go. It's a legitimately world-class wildlife experience hiding in plain sight off Highway 116. Worth every penny, and we're already planning a return trip.

Our visit to Safari West was truly unforgettable, and it was one of the most special experiences I’ve ever shared with my son. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in an environment that felt both adventurous and thoughtfully designed, with incredible animals, stunning scenery, and a real sense of care for conservation and education. Seeing my son’s excitement as he spotted giraffes, zebras, and rhinos up close was priceless—this is the kind of experience that creates lifelong memories. My favorite were the Two female ostrich. They definitely gave us a good show. What truly elevated our visit, though, was our guide Killan.She was absolutely phenomenal and made the entire safari come alive. Her knowledge was impressive, but what really stood out was her enthusiasm, warmth, and ability to connect with both adults and kids. She explained everything in a way that was engaging and easy to understand, answered every question with patience and passion, and made sure everyone felt included and excited. My son was completely captivated by her stories and insights, and it was clear how much she genuinely loves what she does. Killan’s energy, professionalism, and kindness turned a great experience into an exceptional one. Safari West is a must-visit, especially for families, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. If you’re lucky enough to have Killan as your guide, you’re in for something truly special. We left with full hearts, amazing photos, and memories we’ll be talking about for years to come. Thank you, Safari West—and especially Killan—for such an incredible experience! PS: we will definitely be planning a future trip to come back and go glamping.

Great tour, beautiful scenery, many different types of animals. Our guide Michelle, was awesome, made for this job! Great information, perspective and personality! Very enthusiastic and proud of the park and its mission. Worth every Penny!

Wear comfortable shoes and layer your clothing. Pack a lunch or plan on lunch from their deli or restaurant. The seating in the lunch area was very pleasant and you can continue to walk around and see the animals.

Gina is knowledgeable about the animals in Safari West. She even knows each animal's personal names and the back story behind them. It's easy to tell that she loves her job. It was fun and and entertaining tour that I had.

Bring binoculars. Tip your tour guide, they have a hard job. You can book separate private encounters with the giraffes and Rhinos.

Very well organized! Jack C. Was our Guide, and was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Watch out for Lucille, the ostrich!

It was an amazing time with friends in this gorgeous property. The tour by Gina was spectacular … she was so knowledgeable and it was so fun to be with her in the fantastic jeep. We discovered … Wonderful animals from Africa and birds around the world. Do not miss the boutique full of products from Africa .. it’s possible also to stay in this gorgeous property and to have an excellent dinner. What a place … A GEM🙏❤️❤️

Wonderful tour and the guide was so patient and kind and so knowable. I loved the small group. Would highly recommend this tour.

Was a great safari tour. Truck and walking tours were great. Jack was extremely knowledgeable about each animal and their history. Show up 15-20 minutes early and bring $ for tip!
