Description

Greater Kudu crosses ridge at sunset at Safari West in Sonoma County, California.

Established by Peter Lang in 1989, Safari West gained membership in the American Zoo and Aquarium Association, one of only six private facilities in North America to belong to that prestigious organization. The ongoing mission of Safari West is wildlife preservation through breeding, education, research and public interaction.

Wonderful place to take the family with many, many opportunities to make amazing images. Dreaming of going to Africa someday!
