Nestled in the evergreen Mayacamas Mountains in Sonoma County, this African wildlife preserve hides in plain sight. Safari West's wide open spaces and highly trained guides encourage visitors to fall in love with the creatures, large and small, who call the preserve home. Make yours a day trip, or spend the night in a luxury tent imported from Botswana.
