Wildlife thrills are part of the upcoming Wild Africa Trek experience atย Disneyโ€™s Animal Kingdomยฎย Theme Park and now you can start makingWild Africa Trekreservations.

Wild Africa Trek will be a three-hour, expert-led adventure offering up-close-and-personal experiences with wildlife species that make their home inย Pangani Forest as well as other areas of the parkโ€™s Harambe Wildlife Reserve. As part of the adventure, youโ€™ll clip onto a lifeline and step to the edge of a cliff to get amazingly close to the hippos and crocs. Here are a few highlights for curious explorers:

  • Trekking with experienced guides through areas of Harambe Wildlife Reserve that arenโ€™t explored during regular Disneyโ€™s Animal Kingdom experiences.
  • Navigating through fern and vine forests on a bushwalk.
  • Clipping into a harness attached to a safety line, crossing a rope bridge over the Safi River and cliff-hanging at the edge of gullies that are home to hippos and crocodiles.
  • Experiencing the thrill of โ€œover-landingโ€ in customized open-air vehicles following the edge of a wide-open savanna.
  • Unwinding from an unforgettable adventure at a private safari camp for wildlife viewing. At this station elevated above the savanna, guests will savor sample tastes of Africa.

Harambe Wildlife Reserve will be offered several times daily at Disneyโ€™s Animal Kingdom. Groups will be kept small, consisting of no more than 12 trekkers per safari.
