They survey at the beginning and then divide the time accordingly-since there were twelve in our group and only 8 wanted to ride on top of the vehicle (Kids need to be 4 years old and 48 inches), we ended up sitting on top for half the time. When we checked in for the Safari tour my guys (the hubby included) all wanted to sit on top of the caravan vehicle (while I was scared but decided to try it anyways) and the guides have a really great way to make sure everyone who wants to sit on top gets a chance. I gave the kids $10 for three ice cream treats and they came back with change!! We were in cabin 3 and from our balcony we could see giraffes frolicking in the morning and it was an easy walk to see many other animals all day long. Snacks at the canteen on site were a lot more reasonably priced than I thought they would be. There was a cooler on the balcony with ice and water to keep snacks chill. The tent itself was roomy and comfortable for a family of four and sure enough there was a toilet and a shower and sink so this was luxurious. We checked in at Safari West around 3pm and our grand adventure began. I was a little worried about my timing (it worked out fine!) because I had seen a lot of people book the 10am safari tour for the morning after they checked in but I wanted to head off early to go see San Francisco and I wanted to have a little time to see a few things in Santa Rosa before we arrived like the Charles Schulz museum (next time I want to leave time for the ice rink next door: Snoopy’s Home Ice and the Warm Puppy Cafe) and the Kendall-Jackson winery. We started our one night stay with a 4 pm safari tour and a dinner. But if you think waking up to giraffes and flamingos is magical and you love learning about helping animals, I can’t imagine a more incredible place to stay and it’s only about an hour’s drive from San Francisco making it a very accessible safari adventure for a family from Seattle. If Safari West should lose its appeal, it can apply for reinstatement in about a year.Anyone else think a private bathroom would make camping absolutely perfect? That feature alone makes glamping at Safari West a dream come true because the tents here all have their own showers and bathrooms and feel a lot like hotel rooms. They criticized the system of veterinary care and questioned the safety of the tour vehicles, an issue that was not raised in the accreditation report. KTVU spoke with two former employees, one who said Safari West is not the, "fanciful place that it is made out to be."

Safari West says it is hiring a vet next year who will be on the grounds full time. If they are not here we are on the phone with them while they are on their way up here," says Hornbostel. "Having our vet care compromised is not true at all. The AZA cited problems with having all of its vets on contract working off-site. Located outside Santa Rosa in Sonoma County, Safari West draws 70,000 visitors a year to see 98 different species. Some of the information they were provided is not accurate," said Hornbostel. And that is why we are going through the appeal process. It says it has operated the same way for decades in how it acquires animals and sends them to other places without any past AZA objections. And that was an issue in this case," said Dan Ashe, President of the AZA. "Members have to show a very high standard of responsibility for where they get animals and where they sell animals to.
