Safari
West Wildlife Preserve in Santa Rosa California lets
you take a trip to Africa without leaving the Golden State. Safari
West is a former sheep ranch transformed into an African Safari
adventure. Guests can take a three hour tour led by an experience
guide. You climb aboard a Safari truck and head out onto the bumpy
roads of the preserve. The trip lets you take a simulated African
safari without the danger of being charged by wild animals. With
400 acres of preserve to explore you will get a chance to spot
wild animals including cheetahs, zebra and giraffe. All animals
are fenced off, feeding is not permitted but photography is encouraged.
After your jeep tour you continue on foot to the lower compound.
Here you walk through the aviary, which houses an international
bird collection. You will also take a closer look at animals such
as tortoises, fennec foxes and Indian porcupines. Next you have
a chance to spot cheetahs and watch primates enjoying lush Lemur
Island. Advance reservations are required for a visit to Safari
West Preserve. |

location. Phones are available for guest use in the office or in
