An absolute highlight of my Disney trip and easily one of the best things Animal Kingdom has to offer... and for what it includes, it's also reasonably priced. This is basically a VIP version of the Kilimanjaro Safari attraction, spread over three hours and including delicious food, amazing guides and a load of pictures The trip starts with getting strapped into a harness which will later help you avoid being eaten or falling to your death. From there you get close ( but not too close ) encounters with hippos and crocodiles, brave a seemingly rickety rope bridge straight out of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, take a leisurely drive across the savannah and then enjoy a platter selection of tasty Africa inspired foods in a private area with stunning views across the grasslands. As a bonus, you also get an exclusive water bottle and name badge to keep, plus a tonne of photos of the entire experience uploaded directly into the app for you to download and keep. Our guides Paula and Ali were amazing and made a terrific experience even better. Definitely worth doing but book early, there only up to 12 places per tour and it fills up fast.

Excellent and fun tour
This tour was amazing. Our guides, Daniel and Alex were awesome. Also Hanna, our truck driver and all of the others working on this tour were just as great. It's a behind of the scenes tour of the Africa Safari Ride. We were outfitted with vests that would eventually be used for safety and attached to a line. We walked through the forest stopping first overlooking the hippos. We learned a lot about the hippos while one of the guides fed them some lettuce. After this, came the most exciting part. We walked across two wooden bridges with planks missing. The second bridge went directly over the crocodiles! The guides are very diligent in checking everyones harness and keeping everyone safe. Next we boarded our own truck and drove through the savana stopping at varous places to see animals and learn about them. We then were able to get our snack which was actually a delicious assortment of delicacies and a full meal. While eating, the giraffes came close by. It was a great day.
