The Ultimate Private Safari!

Let’s start with the basics. Each safari in this category comes with one of our custom vehicles reserved solely for you and your group, and the adventure develops from there!

The Classic Safari follows a set route, but with the Ultimate Private Safari, you’re in control. With a vehicle reserved solely for you and yours and a highly-trained safari guide at your beck and call, take your excursion off the beaten path. Whether you’re a group or family needing social distance, or simply a lover of the wilds looking to maximize time with a favorite animal, the Ultimate Private Safari is the option for you.

For families with children under the age of four, the Ultimate Private Safari can be a great option. While we have age restrictions on the Classic Safari, our private excursions are exempt.

Brews and Buffalo by John Burgess

Sonoma County isn’t only a haven for the grape-lovers among us but also at the center of a craft-brew renaissance! Our Brews and Buffalos Safari Adventure was designed around the idea that sipping a cold one while exploring the Sonoma Serengeti may be the most relaxing way to experience Safari West.

On this private safari, you’ll enjoy the undivided attention of your very own guide as you explore our collection. Upon arrival at the Watusi Overlook, your guide will shift gear from one passion (wildlife) to another (beer!). Enjoy some delicious snacks and a sampling of a rotating selection of brews from several Sonoma County and California breweries.
