Santa Rosa, California

Experience the thrill of an African-style safari without leaving California. Join Tett Safaris for a truly immersive day at Safari West, a 400-acre wildlife preserve affectionately known as the “Sonoma Serengeti.” This one-of-a-kind event combines wildlife encounters, authentic cuisine, an expert-led presentation, and the opportunity to extend your adventure overnight in luxurious safari tents.

Go On Safari!

Explore Safari West in an open-air 4x4 vehicle, guided by experts who bring the preserve to life. Encounter over 400 animals—from zebras and giraffes to rhinos and wildebeest—as they roam freely in their naturalistic habitats. Every moment is a chance for close-up observation, photography, and unforgettable memories.

Dinner on the Sonoma Serengeti

After your game drive, indulge in a South African–style Braai cookout. This festive dinner features grilled specialties and refreshing drinks, all compliments of Tett Safaris, creating a warm, communal experience to celebrate your day on the Serengeti.

The adventure continues with our signature presentation: “Insider’s Guide to Planning Your Safari.” Hosted by Carolyn Tett, Owner of Tett Safaris, this engaging talk offers firsthand insights into planning the perfect African safari. Learn how to select the ideal lodges, understand seasonal wildlife patterns, optimize your itinerary, pack efficiently, capture stunning wildlife photos, and immerse yourself fully in the safari experience. Whether it’s your first trip or your fifth, Carolyn’s insider tips will help you plan an unforgettable journey.

Glamping: Spend the Night

For those wishing to prolong the experience, stay overnight in one of Safari West’s authentic luxury safari tents. Each tent is thoughtfully designed with hardwood floors, cozy bedding, en-suite bathrooms, and a private deck overlooking the preserve. Wake to the sounds of the African night and enjoy a complimentary breakfast in the heart of the wildlife sanctuary—a truly magical way to complete your visit.
