Jambo Jason,
Welcome to planDisney!
I’m so excited that you are getting the opportunity to take part in the
Starlight Safari at Animal Kingdom Lodge! While I haven’t had the opportunity to participate in this safari before, I did get to do the
Wild Africa Trek back in December, and it was one of my favorite experiences. I can’t wait to cross Starlight Safari off the list because, after researching your question, it looks incredible.
What a great question, Jason! As part of the Starlight Safari experience, you will be provided with updated night vision devices to use so you can spot all the animals out in the savannas. However, I spoke to a Cast Member, and they said that currently, you can bring your own night vision device if you prefer! This is subject to change, however, and Cast Members do have final discretion on what is permitted, so please keep that in mind.
I hope this was helpful, Jason. Before I let you go, don’t forget to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to check-in at the porte-cochere at
Kidani Village. I would recommend checking in a little earlier than that, just so you can confirm with the Cast Members if your night vision device is good to go! I hope you have a great experience, and please come back and see us if you need anything else!
Kwaherini,
Ashley F.
