WHAT YOU’LL DO
Africa is one of the world’s most sought after travel destinations filled with exotic animals and beautiful scenery. Unfortunately this renowned animal haven is a world away, or is it? During this exclusive zozi Guru experience, wildlife expert and National Geographic Explorer, Mireya Mayor, will guide you on a private, African-style safari in Sonoma County. This unique experience will get you up-close and personal with over 500 species of exotic animals as Mireya shares her expertise on these rare and beautiful creatures.
After settling into your luxury safari tent, you'll meet Mireya and your small group of fellow explorers. Hear Mireya’s exciting tales of international travel, exploration and wildlife preservation. Her work with animals has taken her around the world to study lemurs in Madagascar, silverback gorillas in the Congo, and giraffes in Namibia. She'll share her expertise during a rare private tour of Safari West's monkeys and lemurs giving you an intimate look at these playful primates.
As the sun slips down over the "Sonoma Serengeti," that’s your cue to hop into an open-air jeep for an authentic African-style safari. Get an unforgettable, up close view of fascinating wildlife including giraffes, zebras, rhinos, cheetahs, wildebeest and more while they roam free on the preserve.
Park atop a hill with spectacular views overlooking the preserve and enjoy traditional safari sundowners (sunset drinks) and appetizers before heading back to African tent camp. A delicious BBQ awaits the group at the Savannah Cafe alongside a roaring campfire. After dinner, enjoy time around the fire with beer, wine or port, or head back to the private deck of your cabin to soak in the moonlit preserve. From either spot, the enchanting calls of Africa will be your soundtrack as you unwind and recount the day's adventure.
Before you depart in the morning, enjoy a continental breakfast or a leisurely hike around the preserve. It’s not every day you can have an African experience in the heart of wine country.
