UPDATED June 2, 2026

The Wild Africa Trek is a privately guided three-hour tour of the Safi River Valley – an area of Animal Kingdom park that is typically unseen by guests.

It offers amazing (and close!) views of many of the animals that call Animal Kingdom home. Giraffes, rhinos, hippos, and crocodiles may all make appearances on the tour, which combines walking and riding in a safari vehicle, including the crossing of an open bridge.

Enjoy tastes of Africa in an array of small plates from a beautiful vantage point on the savanna after your trek. Though menu items may vary, they may include:

• Garlic and leek hummus and pita
• Prosciutto and mozzarella
• Olive mix
• Fresh fruit
• Chicken wrap
• Marinated tandoori shrimp

A photographer accompanies the tour to capture the moments, and all tour guests receive complimentary access to the photos.

Location and Check-in

Check-in for your three-hour guided tour (at least 15 minutes prior) takes place at the Curiosity Animal Tours kiosk just outside the entrance to Kilimanjaro Safaris. This is where you’ll meet your guides, put your belongings in lockers, and have all the requirements and rules explained to you.

You’ll also step on a scale to determine what size vest you’ll need, plus you’ll be given wristlets to attach your phone or camera for photos. Everything you bring must be connected to you, so it doesn’t fall into the animal enclosures — leave your MagicBand in your locker.

You’ll also get a headset to listen to the guides, a water bottle (to keep!), and a name tag.

Also included is full access to tour photos (you’ll receive a Disney PhotoPass card at the end that you can scan to download your photos, which should show up within 24-48 hours).

Participants also enjoy a small meal at the end of the tour.
