Safari West, Santa Rosa

This places was so much fun. Took my 10 year old for a Christmas present. He loved it! The tour was fun and you get up close to the animals. The tent we stayed in was right across from the warthogs and antelope. Although it was cold outside we stayed warm in the text, thanks to the space heater they provided and headed blankets. Would definitely go back.

We had a great experience with our 2 year old bud. First we spent the night in one of the tent where you can see the animals from the window and the bed was heated and there is a bathroom attached. We had also the dinner which was like home cooked meal followed by s’mores and that was fun. Then in the morning we had our breakfast and did the safari. The safari itself is amazing and we were so lucky to have our guide Richard he is well knowledgeable man and has a sense of humor. He put all his energy to make sure that everyone enjoy the tour. Totally recommend it!

I was super excited to take my daughter here but mildly disappointed. The 3 hour tour is roughly 2 hours in the Jeep and 1 hour of walking, which you can do on your own. The jeep ride was fun as we sat on top. Our guide was also great. The number and type of animals seen was disappointing. Two Rinos, about a dozen zebras, buffalo, some giraffe and lots of variations of antelope and birds. I expected Hippos, lions and elephants and a bit more African type safari. The walking section is basically a small zoo and doesn't take an hour unless you want a thorough education. Basically an overpriced zoo with a bit of a safari. Money was better spent on a Disneyland ticket. My soon to be 13 year old who loves animals gave it a 7 out of 10. Perhaps younger children would enjoy it more.

It’s a good park. Even we have visited better ones we still give a four star. Because the staffs were all very nice and helpful. Our guide Jeff was knowledgeable and friendly with kids. There were some special animal like buffaloes and impalas, and lots of birds, noisy birds! We went there in November. It’s very cold. They do have a small heater and heated blankets in the tent.

It was a memorable experience! It rained when we were there last weekend but the rain added to the fun. My group , especially the kids, enjoyed the place. I want to thank the staff, especially Dan, for helping me coordinate my event. I would definitely go back there again.
