Featuring over 900 animals, including ones that are highly endangered and rarely seen in the wild such as the Nile lechwe, addax, and scimitar-horned oryx, Safari West is fully accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, one of only six private facilities in North America to belong to that prestigious organization. Peter started collecting animals over the years and in 1993 he and Nancy opened Safari West. “Throughout my life, my father shared with me his love of, and respect for, exotic wildlife,” Peter says.

Through his father, Otto Lang, a notable movie producer and director whose credits include Daktari, Flipper and Sea Hunt, Peter grew up regularly exposed to exotic animals. Safari West was started over 20 years ago by owners Nancy and Peter Lang. We were excited to experience both the animals and the setting. Animals that would normally span the entire African continent are found here in one place roaming a natural environment with the freedom to maintain many of their wild instincts and behaviors. Located 75 miles north of San Francisco and just a few miles from downtown Santa Rosa in the beautiful hills and valleys of Sonoma County, Safari West is America’s very own African adventure, an experience that transports you across hundreds of acres of rolling savanna and steep, rocky terrain mirroring the untamed lands of Africa. Aside from being highly rated and coming highly recommended, we knew it was exactly the kind of adventure our kids would love. We had never heard of it prior to this trip but discovered it in researching activities in the area.
We had a few things planned on our itinerary and at the top of our list was Safari West. A couple of weeks ago our family took a trip down to California north of the Bay area in Sonoma County.
