Wild Africa Trek offers up-close-and-personal Adventure at Disney's Animal Kingdom, Reservations Open Today

Reservations open today (October 15) for Disney’s Animal Kingdom “Wild Africa Trek”, a three-hour, expert-led adventure for groups no larger than 12 trekkers that will offer the chance to more deeply explore the Harambe Reserve. Among adventure highlights the trekkers while safely harnessed will navigate a seemingly precarious rope bridge over the Safi River or venture to the edge of a cliff to get close to the hippos and crocodiles below. Tours begin in January.

“Adventure-minded guests will have the experience of a lifetime as they get immersed in an authentic African safari experience that only Disney can deliver,” said Michael Colglazier, vice president of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. “We are thrilled to be offering this unique outdoor adventure aimed at active vacationers, taking interactions with the incredible animals that inhabit the Harambe Reserve to the next level and literally blazing new trails in our park.”

Pricing for this unique adventure will vary seasonally. Guests who reserve a booking from Jan. 16-Feb. 26, 2011, may take advantage of an introductory offer starting at $129. Park admission is required for participants.
