Vision Quest Safari Bed & Breakfast

Not that we have been to Africa, but this atmosphere felt like a "mini" trip to Africa. We were in Tent #2-The Big Cat House. This tent was the closest and best view to the elephant barns and the overall grounds (you can see them bathing the elephants both mornings). The tent was anything but...comfy heated king bed, fridge/coffee maker, TV/DVD player, full hot shower (just make it short), and more. 4pm animal visits were very entertaining and educational, but nothing beats being brough breakfast in the morning by an elephant. Wait, there is...getting to feed the elephant breakfast as it visits. First morning was Malika (she is the runt of the crew, but very affectionate). Second morning was the "big guy" Butch. Over 10 feet tall, and pics with him in the morning were just out of this world.

Our first visit to this wonderful place was on Valentine's Weekend, 2010. We took the 1:00 tour, fed Buster the African Elephant & stayed one night in Giraffe Manor. The staff was friendly & helpful. The animals looked happy & well cared for. Our "tent" was clean & comfortable. We had such a GREAT time, we're going back in April & taking friends! Can't wait to return to this unique & awesome place! Jan & Kent

It was wonderful to be removed from the other guests, the animal chatter at night made you feel like you were in Africa and breakfast delivered by the elephant completed the experience. I highly recommend this experience.

Unique, unforgettable experience. Up close and one on one interaction with exotic animals. Well worth the drive up from San Diego. In February, it was a bit chilly. But the heater in the tent and mattress heater made us comfortable. Plenty of hot water in the shower inside the tent. -Amazing what can be done with a tent. This is the fanciest tent I've ever seen! I did let my mind open to the suggestion that we had, by some miracle, arrived to an African Safari tent. We could hear the lions all night. A bit unnerving, but added to the fantasy. The elephants trumpeted the arrival of our breakfast delivery by paciderm parade. When is the last time you shared breakfast with an elephant? The animals are very well taken care of. Super clean environment for them The quality of the experience rivals Disney's attention to detail. I will recommend this adventure to my friends...and to anyone wanting to get the flavor of a wilderness encampment in Africa without having to get a passport or immunizations. Cheri
