This vast 3 square mile preserve is an expansive wildlife sanctuary that is home to more than 3,000 animals representing more than 300 species but no need for an animal tracker on this trip.  Your able escort grew up amongst animals like these and she’s taught at the Safari Park for 15 years.

This is a definite “girlfriend getaway” or a “bonding adventure with a bestie”. Your golden memories will be better than anything money could buy.

About Your Creative Life Coach... Sandra Angelo

Exclusive No Passport Safari with a REAL African American

"Growing Up Blond in Africa" Sandra's fascinating story, reads more like a screenplay than a diary. Getting her first passport at 11 months and traveling to 7 countries by the age 3, Sandra's family settled into a mud hut in the Belgian Congo's Ituri forest when she was a tiny tot. 

With lion cubs born in her yard, giraffes eating off her trees, a pet menagerie that included monkeys, a baby antelope, chameleons, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and a lizard named Mortimer Snerd, Sandra developed an early love of animals.

At age 15, when her family moved to America, Sandra missed this menagerie, so she was delighted when the San Diego Safari Park asked her to teach a course on how to draw animals and landscapes inside the park. With a 15 year intimate knowledge of the park, she is the perfect guide to help you experience and Art & Culture that is simply not available any other way.

In an invitation only private event, Sandra reveals her amazing life story, the night before our exciting safari.

Then, without having to go through the hassle of applying for a passport, getting a myriad of vaccinations, risking malaria, or enduring long plane flights to Africa, this blond African will escort you on an incredible photo caravan behind the scenes on an exclusive No Passport Safari at the San Diego Safari Park.

Discover how to turn your MAGIC MOMENTS into inspiring Masterpieces. After your journey into the Park, enjoy 2 days of private art lessons 9:30-5:00 in her panoramic studio with a 280 degree view of the San Diego Bay. 

Discover what Masters DO that Amateurs DON'T and watch your art and life transform before your very eyes.
