Safari West, five miles north of Santa Rosa, offers a private tour of a little-known and most unusual country estate: one dedicated to breeding endangered species. Zoologist Nancy Lang accompanies guests on a World War II personnel carrier past various antelope -- eland, shy red bongos, addax with fairy horns -- kangaroo, unearthly blue-crowned pigeons, and even a herd of Watusi cattle. Some species, like the scimitar-horned oryx (an African antelope), are extinct in the wild. Tours last two-and-a-half-hours, so bring lots of film.
To complete the safari experience, "Tent Camping" is also available. It�s the ultimate luxury in outdoor living with magnificent sweeping views of the animals and countryside. And don�t be fooled by the name: tents are one bedroom with king-size bed and separate bathroom.
Essential Information:
Custom tours and special events are available for groups. Safaris are by appointment only, seven days a week. Sunset safaris are also available by appointment. Admission is $48 per person; children 16 and under, half price.
