No one came by from the staff to tell them that they were too loud and disturbing everyone and no way for us to contact the office to ask them to do so as we had no cell reception. We loved hearing the animal sounds at night but sadly only got to hear them after our obnoxious neighbors finally quit their partying around midnight. We were quite cold despite the electric blankets, one of which kept coming unplugged. It was 30 degrees out last night and the one space heater was not sufficient to heat the space. The only recommendation that I would have for the double tent is to include a second space heater. The tent was very well appointed and the bed was very comfortable. That would be fine if not for the high price for the meal. The choices for a vegan were underwhelming and I was told the that meat was not great.

If we were to stay again, I would eat elsewhere. The dinner was only so so and was quite costly. We have been to some of the best zoos in the world, San Diego and Bronx, and this was amazing. There was a wide array of animals and we got to see them up close. Not a zoo, not a drive-through park, its a wildlife preserve where the whole family can experience some of natures most beautiful animals in a natural habitat. The AZA cited problems with having all of its vets on contract working off-site. Nestled on 400 acres in the heart of Californias wine country, Safari West is home for over 400 exotic mammals and birds. We enjoyed the tour very much and our guide Kira was exceptional.
