It\u2019s hard to believe it\u2019s been 30 since we opened our doors and invited the world to enjoy a taste of Africa on 400 acres of Mayacamas mountain wilderness that became our Sonoma Serengeti. It\u2019s been 30 years and, in many ways, we\u2019re just getting started!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30 years into this grand adventure we&#8217;re incredibly proud of how far we&#8217;ve come \u2013 and how far we can go. Today we not only entertain and educate thousands of wildlife enthusiasts each year, we also give back to our community in truly unique ways. We work closely with the Safari West Wildlife Foundation to provide an array of educational opportunities to underserved children everywhere. We also provide financial support to conservation organizations working to protect important species around the globe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we look ahead to the next 30 years, and beyond, it\u2019s clear that our work\u00a0will only grow increasingly important and relevant.\u00a0 We are excited to be at the forefront of wildlife education and conservation, and grateful\u00a0to work in a county and region that values these things as much as we do. Thank you for supporting us through our first 30 years, and for helping us preserve, share and celebrate the wonders of the natural world. We literally wouldn\u2019t be here without you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheers to the New Year and Happy 30th\u00a0birthday to us!
