I should have written this review after we visited back in March. We took the safari tour, did not stay over night or have dinner there. It was a cloudy day, about to rain, when we were there, but this made the lighting perfect for taking pictures. The safari was the most fun I've had seeing wild animals up close... more

My husband and I live in the Bay Area and decided to visit Safari West for a quick overnight getaway. We had an idea of what to expect based on Trip Advisor reviews. However, being in the environment and observing the interesting animals first hand provided for a truly unique experience for us. Our tour guide, Ken, was knowledgeable and... more

It was definitely a good little side trip from Sacramento. The drive provided opulent views of Napa's finest vineyards. Safari West provided up close encounters with a variety of African mammals from giraffes to wilder beasts. The animals are provided ample space in many of the enclosures. The jeep rides are fun and it's definitely a thrill to ride on... more

Our driver had good knowledge of all the animals we saw and was quite a nice guy. I never thought I'd be close enough to reach out and touch giraffes, zebras, and... more

My wife and I booked a weekend at the Safari West as a last minute getaway for my b-day. After reading the positive reviews, we were intrigued and decided to experience it for ourself. Saturday morning we called and reserved a Safari Tent for that night, which was readily available since we visited on January 31 - February 1 (winter... more

We celebrated my mom's 60th birthday here & fun was had by all. There was some miss-communication in planning the event regarding pricing, but it was eventually satisfactorily resolved. We had a dozen people going on the full tour and a few more that joined us for dinner at Safari West after. I was primarily impressed with how well everything... more
