Safari West Wildlife Preserve

Nestled on 400 acres in the heart of California’s wine country, Safari West is home for over 900 exotic mammals and birds and approximately 90 species. Founded in 1993 by Peter and Nancy Lang, Safari West started offering authentic African safaris. At that time, the park had 150 acres of enclosures that allowed naturalists to promote wildlife advocacy and conservation by providing three-hour educational excursions. Since its founding, Safari West has grown from a small safari based operation, serving several hundred visitors to a premier educational facility. In addition to the safari excursions, guests have an opportunity to experience African style tent camping. Sourced in Ladysmith, South Africa by the Langs, the luxury tents allow visitors a unique adventure to sleep while surrounded by herds of African animals.

Safari West serves two important functions: first and foremost, a wildlife preserve, with several important ongoing projects such as:
The propagation of endangered species. Safari West is the home of zebras, giraffes, cheetahs and many more exotic creatures.
Under the directorship of Nancy Lang, Safari West is breeding several endangered bird species.
Several Research and Conservation programs are ongoing: Conservation through Education.
The ongoing mission of Safari West is wildlife preservation through breeding, education, research and public interaction.
