Vision Quest Ranch is home to Wild Things, which cares for over 100 exotic animals, as well as E.A.R.S., a non-profit elephant sanctuary. An overnight stay at the Vision Quest Safari Bed & Breakfast allows adults to get closer to exotic animals than they would on an African safari!
Stay in an authentic African style bungalow and listen to the lions and tigers roaring only yards away. Each canvas walled suite is creatively decorated and appointed with most conveniences found in a hotel suite. Suites are individually decorated in their own animal décor including the Giraffe Manor, the Big Cat House, the Pachyderm Palace, and the Zebra Zone. Every bungalow has a large deck providing a spectacular view of the 5-acre elephant play yard, a king or queen size bed, an indoor sitting area, full bathroom, TV/VCR, refrigerator, and coffee maker.
Awaken to a continental breakfast delivered by our animal friends. Guests will be invited to meet the facility trainers on their evening walks with many of the Wild Things (weather and animal(s) permitting). Guaranteed to be an overnight experience found nowhere else (not even in Africa).
Some of the more adventurous choose to add a full-contact animal tour to their stay. Wild Things offers a Pachyderm Package - which is a full contact elephant tour, a VIP Package - which is a full contact tour with an elephant, bear, and a small exotic cat, and the Walk With the Animals Package - which is an all day tour were guests tailor their day to what animals they would like to spend time with.
For children, Wild Things offers safari day camps, a Roar-n-Snore overnight camps, educational shows, birthday parties, and much more. Wild Things daily tour is open to all ages. Visit Wild Things - an African Safari Adventure in Monterey County.
