The experience

Harambe connects the safari, Gorilla Falls and Festival of the Lion King with food and street music.

Check animal-experience hours and performance times before making your loop. The Wildlife Express Train leaves from Harambe for Conservation Station; that trip needs its own block, including the return journey. A paid animal tour is a separate booking.

See official information for Africa for participation details and current availability.
