Hiya, Claire-Louise!
Welcome back to planDisney! I'm so glad you are planning to spend time at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park during your upcoming vacation. It's one of my very favorite spots in The Most Magical Place on Earth. Between the deliciously unique dining (
Nomad Lounge and
Satu'li Canteen), thrilling attractions (Avatar Flight of Passage and Expedition Everest: Legend of the Forbidden Mountain), and multiple opportunities to observe wildlife (Kimilanjaro Safaris and
Feathered Friends in Flight!), there's truly no other place like it!
Booking
Enchanting Extras - such as
Wild Africa Trek - will provide you with an excellent opportunity to experience a bit more of this already incredible theme park. While I have yet to personally experience Wild Africa Trek (it's on my to-do list), my friends that have absolutely raved about it! Because the Nile crocodile habitat will be undergoing refurbishment during the next few months, sightings of these reptiles are not guaranteed (as indicated on the website). Happily, Claire-Louise, there's so much more to enjoy during the experience, that you might not even realize you missed them. My pal Jenna helpfully outlines her personal highlights of the experience
here. Should you decide that the crocodiles are essential to your trek and opt to forego the experience, please keep in mind that there is a 24-hour cancellation policy.
Since you're clearly a fellow animal enthusiast, you might also consider looking into the other
animal encounters available through the Enchanting Extras Collection. I also love spending time with the wildlife along
Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail (in Africa) and
Maharajah Jungle Trek (in Asia) - both available at no additional charge!
I hope this information was helpful, Claire-Louise, and has encouraged you to
stop back by planDisney with any additional questions that arise. We're always happy to help!
Hakuna Matata,
Lizzie
