Want to see Animal Kingdom in a whole new light? You can see a special safari at sunrise if you are staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Imagine being able to see most of the animals first thing in the morning when all the animals are out and active. You can see them before the park opens for all guests. It is a quiet time to be with nature and see all the awesome sights!
Sunrise Safari Breakfast Adventure is available only to Animal Kingdom Lodge concierge guests on Sundays and Thursdays. You meet in the concierge lounge at 7:00 a.m.; then departure from the lodge to Animal Kingdom is at 7:30 a.m. You will need park admission, which you already have.
The tour is along the Kilimanjaro Safari ride path in Animal Kingdom. It lasts 30-45 minutes and has multiple stops so that you can stand up and take pictures. Each of the animals along the way is described in great detail.
After the Safari, you go to the Pizzafari for a breakfast buffet, which includes both standard American and African items. Each person also gets a FastPass to Kilimanjaro Safari to experience it “the regular way”.
Transportation to Animal Kingdom to the safari is provided but you have to use regular bus transportation to return.
The safari runs every Sunday and Thursday starting a 7 am and lasts about 2 hours with the breakfast.
It cost $65 for adults over 10 years and 3 to 9 years is $32.50 not including tax. At time of booking I will need to guarantee with a credit card, like most dining reservations. We can book at 180 out from your vacation.
Not a fan of getting up early? “Wanyama” Safari or Sunset Safari is a special evening safari that all guests at Animal Kingdom Lodge and Animal Kingdom Villas can sign up for.
Up to 12 people ride in a specially designed van around the lodge’s savannas where you can learn about the animals and animal management at Animal Kingdom Lodge. The van stops and you get lots of photo opportunities of the animals and birds. An animal guide is on the van with you to offer information and answer questions.
Afterwards, you have a wonderful dining experience at Jiko. This experience is about 3 hours long. You must be 8 or older to sign up but if you have little, ones like I do, and you want to experience this safari, you can have a sitter arranged to take care of the children. It cost $190.64 per person. Also, we can book this at 180 days out.
