Wonderful addition to the Safari Park! My husband and I have been members for 46 years, and the 2 meals we've had at Mkutano House in 2026 are at the top of the list of dining experiences we've had, not just at the Safari Park but ANYWHERE. The Africa-inspired food is delicious, beautifully prepared and presented, healthy and flavorful. The attention to detail in the architecture and decor enhances the experience, and of course being able to sit and watch the elephants is an unmatched bonus to the whole experience. What a terrific way for humans, animal ambassadors, and cultures to interact joyfully. Thank you!

It’s our favorite go-to place to take people who are coming into California – – that night was particularly lovely as the ocean was gorgeous. The food – – especially my halibut and the sea bass were delicious The bread did take an inordinate a lot of time to get to the table – – but was well worth the wait. We definitely will be back
