VISION QUEST SAFARI - Salinas (and vicinity)

Vision Quest Ranch is home to the Monterey Zoological Society, 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 and Breakfast allows people 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 decor including the Giraffe Manor, the Big Cat House, the Pachyderm Palace, The Monkey Manor, Josefs Jungle, the Bears Den, the Leopard?s Lair, and the Zebra Zone. Some bungalows have a large deck providing a spectacular view of the 5-acre elephant play yard. All bungalows have a full bathroom, TV-VCR, refrigerator, and coffee maker. Awaken to a continental breakfast delivered by one of our elephants. Guests will meet some of the trainers on their evening walks with a few of the Zoo Animals, weather and animals 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.
