SAFARI WEST LIVE and SAFARI WEST FOUNDATION: MISSION TO CHILDREN
Update: 2025-08-27
Description
Safari West LIVE is a for profit facility. It’s a 400 acre wildlife preserve with primarily African animals. They provide in person safari style tours throughout the property on refurbished International Scouts that were used during the Korean War.
The Safari West Wildlife Foundation is Safari West’s nonprofit. It operates on the same property but they are technically two separate entities. The program, Safari West LIVE, is 1 of 3 programs fully funded by the Safari West Wildlife Foundation via the generosity of donors. The Safari West LIVE program provides virtual livestream safaris, at Safari West, to children’s hospitals for kids in long term care. We have about 68 hospitals we partner with all across the country, and have reached approximately 24,000 children’s hospital beds so far this year.
The distinction is important because donations would be made to the Safari West Wildlife Foundation, not Safari West. Another important distinction would be our focus is on the hospitalized children first. The animals are wonderful, of course. Working with them is wonderful. But, the passion of the Safari West LIVE team lies in what we are providing to kids, and their families, that are dealing with far more than any child or family should ever have to manage in their lives.
There are many testimonials from Child Life professionals all across the country talking about the incredible impact Safari West LIVE has on kids dealing with long term hospitalization and life threatening, sadly sometimes fatal, illness.
