Enjoy a nighttime safari on the Animal Kingdom Lodge savanna with the Starlight Safari at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!
Zebra sighting during Starlight Safari
Since this hour-long experience takes place well after the sun sets, guests will receive night vision goggles to spot the African wildlife that call the savanna home.
Over 30 species reside at the Lodge, including zebras, giraffes, gazelles, antelopes, flamingos, and more.
