Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff. Tent cabins fun, though if you are a light sleeper bring earplugs, it is a symphony at night! Food was surprisingly decent as they feed you more like a barbecue buffet than anything else. The meats-ribs, chicken, etc are actually very good! Older elementary kids and up, are a perfect age for the tours.

An amazing experience for me and my family and you can find it here in the heart of the bay area 🤗 to be able to see these wonderful animals. Plus a Very knowledgeable staff and crew. Special shout out to Robert! His patience is above and beyond The safari ride made it even better to have a chance to see the animal up close is amazing.

Very knowledgeable staff. Great time here! Bring water for summer months it can get really hot up there. If your taking the full tour in trucks you have to ride on top even for a little bit. They have umbrellas for the sun. My favorite was the rhinos. Being up close to them was amazing!

So disappointed! Only a handful of animals on the property. Several in old small cages. Bird aviary tour is short, but I like birds. Our tour guide, Sara did a great job. She was very knowledgeable about the few animals on the property and their history. The park's tour bus fumes will almost kill you they are so strong. No walking by yourself in Safari West. You'd be better off going to your local zoo.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Yes, there are cabanas there in the property you can rent. They are really cool! You must call the park to get more information as I am not sure what the rental costs may be. Good luck!

How long is the safari tour

John Scott | Sep 8, 2019
Jared Paddock | Sep 8, 2019

Hi John, Our safaris generally average about two and a half to three hours. There is a walking portion that runs about 45 minutes to an hour and a driving portion that is usually an hour and a half to two hours in length. We allow for variation as we can never predict where the animals will be from day to day and what interesting things they may be doing when we find them.

What time is the best time to do the safari tour? 10am, 1pm, 4pm? Going beginning of April

The Plumber | Sep 8, 2019
Valerie Colber | Sep 8, 2019

Either early or late afternoon because animals will be waiting to be fed. Morning is better for light in terms if photography. Spending the night is fun, but it depends on what else you are doing in the area during your visit.

To participate in their classic safari tour, children should be 4 years or older for safety reasons. There are no age restrictions on their private tours.

I was trying to see the difference between the 2 Bed Room Cottage and the Regular Plush Tents on Line via Photos. Are they similar? Also, Generally where do people stay, the lower part (secluded) or the other part near where everything is.

Kris Solomita | Sep 8, 2018
Divya Tatiraju | Sep 8, 2018

I haven't seen the cottage in person, but stayed in a tent - the photos on the website are very accurate. The cottage is walled-off, so you might hear less noise - from your neighbors and the wildlife. Plus, if you're in a big group, the cottage might be a better choice - large number of beds and more privacy. The flamingos can be noisy at night, so if you want a decent night's sleep, consider the hillside tents - I've seen 30 and 31, 30 has lovely views of the little lake in front and the antelopes. If you want to be closer to the birds, the tents at the lower levels would work. It all depends on your preference. Call the office and book if you need more information.

Carlos Beitia | Sep 8, 2018
Semashko Sam | Sep 8, 2018

Should be around 300$ but even if it would be 1000$ its well worth it. Unforgettable experience!

I've been concerned about how the devastating fires are effecting Safari West. How can the outside community help?

Catherine LeFleur | Sep 8, 2018
Pranav Konduru | Sep 8, 2018

We called them asking about the animals. They said they were not very impacted and all animals are safe!

Would you recommend going with a 2 yr old? How long does the tour last?

Solomiya Lyshenyuk Williams | Aug 17, 2022
Yiwei Qiang | Aug 17, 2022

It lasts for 3hrs (1hr walking+2hr driving). I think 2 years old kids would be too young for it. The road is bumpy so the driving part would not be very comfortable. In addition, they only allow kids with enough height to go on top of the vehicle (better view and I think kids will like it)
