Disney Animal Kingdom's Wild Africa Trek

This Sunday, January 16th, Disney Animal Kindom will introduce its "Wild Africa Trek". The program will be operated much as the "DiveQuest" program at EPCOT. Guests will pay a fee for a three hour VIP guided "safari" through the Animal Kingdom savanna. The tour will include a special camp area to observe the animals and a rope bridge crossing over a crocodile filled riverbed.


I have personally participated in the "DiveQuest" program twice and some of their other behind the scenes tours, and I think the programs are well worth the price. This looks to be an interesting addition to Animal Kingdom and should become very popular with the Disney devotees.


I've seen reports that reservations for "Wild Africa Trek" between now and Feb. 26, 2011 can take advantage of an introductory offer starting at $129 per person. Initial estimates I've seen for the normal pricing place the program at $180 per person, but it appears this will change seasonally. As with any other special program at Disney, I would call for exact pricing and to see if any discounts can be applied. The Disney reservations site does not list the price of the program as of this writing.
