She Inspires Us Every Day.
Now You Can Help Write the Next Chapter of Her Story.
Many of you have followed Zeyna’s remarkable journey. Her story is one of resilience, innovation, and the extraordinary care made possible by Safari West’s veterinary and animal care teams.
Her journey continues. Every training session brings new progress, preparing Zeyna for future hoof care while demonstrating the trust and dedication shared between our animals and the people who care for them.
Today, Zeyna’s story is inspiring something even bigger.
Celebrate Our Stars, along with other programs, helps advance exceptional animal care and the important priorities shaping Safari West’s future.
Every gift helps create a place where hope, healing, and extraordinary care come together—for every animal, every story, and every tomorrow.
What to Expect
Celebrate Our Stars is not a traditional gala. From the moment you arrive, you will become part of an immersive journey through Safari West—filled with special animal encounters, small-group adventures, and plenty of time with the remarkable animals we have come together to celebrate.
Enjoy wine and refreshments as you explore, followed by a chef-prepared dinner and an evening of unforgettable animal stories. Guests will also have an opportunity to take part in our silent and live auctions and help make the Safari West Veterinary Hospital possible.
Safari Chic Attire and Spending the Night
Festive, comfortable, and ready for a little adventure. Comfortable shoes and layers are strongly encouraged, as much of the experience will take place outdoors and around the preserve.
A limited number of Safari West tent cabins are available for gala guests at an additional cost. Lodging must be reserved separately and cannot be booked online. Please call Reservations at 707-566-3661 and mention Celebrate Our Stars when booking.
VIP Experience
Begin the VIP experience, starting at 2:30 p.m., by stepping inside the story of Safari West. Join Nancy and Peter Lang for an intimate gathering in the founders’ original home, with food, wine, and a special animal encounter.
They Never Ask. They Simply Trust.
