Wild Africa Trek at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Wild Africa Trek in Disney’s Animal Kingdom The Wild Africa Trek is a unique wildlife experience into the deepest, most-remote reaches of Disney's Animal Kingdom. The three-hour, expert-led adventure immerses guests in the realms and wildlife thrills of far-off Africa — without leaving Walt Disney World Resort. In small groups, guests on Wild Africa Trek enjoy an "up-close-and-personal" experience with African wildlife species that make their home in Pangani Forest as well as other areas of the park's Harambe Wildlife Reserve.

At this station elevated above the savanna, guests savor this panorama of wildlife and sample tastes of Africa as their adventure draws to a relaxing and satisfying close.
