Aphrodite Caserta from Safari West—the Sonoma Serengeti

Safari West is one of the premier wildlife destinations in the United States featuring an expansive wildlife collection set within the natural beauty of the woods and rolling hills of Sonoma County, Safari West truly is the closest you can come to Africa without going there. A 400-acre wilderness with over 900 animals representing 90 different species roaming across some of the largest habitats in the country—a truly unique experience in Sonoma Wine Country.
