🌍✨ Bringing a little bit of the Sonoma Serengeti straight to brave hearts at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford! 🌿🦒
Today, our amazing Eric (our incredible guide, hospital outreach coordinator & Safari West LIVE producer) teamed up with the talented videographer Anneliese (Anni) for a special live interactive show — full of giraffes stretching for snacks, ostriches dancing in the wind, cheetahs lounging in the sun, and so much more wild wonder!

These virtual safaris give pediatric patients a joyful escape, spark curiosity, and remind them that adventure is always just a moment away — even from their hospital rooms. 💛

Huge thanks to the incredible team at Lucile Packard for letting us share the magic, and to every child watching: you inspire US every single day.

For those of you stuck in traffic during your morning commute, Safari West LIVE can definitely relate… This was the “giraffic jam” we encountered yesterday morning following our show with Seacrest Studios during our drive back to Basecamp. While we were only delayed by a few minutes, the sight of these awe-inspiring creatures never ceases to amaze!

It is an honor and a privilege to spend time with all of the extraordinary kids, their wonderful families, and the exceptional Child Life Services professionals at Children’s Hospitals all across the country! A huge thank you to Ryan Seacrest Foundation, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Children’s Hospital Colorado, and Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children for making our show so special, and for letting us be a part of your adventure, too!

Safari West LIVE brings the magic of the Serengeti straight to pediatric hospital units across the U.S. — all through the power of Zoom. From towering giraffes to curious cheetahs, we deliver real-time wildlife encounters to children who may not be able to explore beyond their hospital rooms.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re inviting you to help us continue delivering joy, learning, and wonder to young patients and their families. Your support helps us expand our reach, enhance our livestream experiences, and bring more smiles to kids who could really use a little wild adventure.

💛 How You Can Help Today:
👉 Make a Giving Tuesday donation
👉 Share our mission with friends and family
👉 Spread the word so more hospitals can join the adventure
