Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park has announced it is developing a new, immersive experience that will take small groups of guests on personalized, guided treks through some of the savannah areas of the popular Kilimanjaro Safaris Expedition attraction. During these excursions, guests will be able to spend more time observing wildlife on the savannah while learning about them from a Disney guide. Guests also will trek through an undeveloped forest area of the Harambe Reserve and then board a unique vehicle designed for the rest of the journey. Reservations for this specially priced tour are scheduled to begin later this year, with more details to come as Walt Disney Imagineers continue to develop the experience.

When I heard this announced I got pretty excited. Nancy and I have done the Sunrise Safari that was only offered to concierge-level guests at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. While an hour long ride on the attraction with frequent stops and a special guide who works with the animals, it still made it difficult to get pictures if you were unlucky enough to be in the middle of the row in your ride vehicle.
Plus, it never failed that when an animal lined up for a good shot the ride vehicle would start moving and even going as slow as it did, it still have very exaggerated up and down movement due to the uneven nature of the road upon which we drive.
From what I've read, this is going to be a WALKING tour. That means, for people like Michael and me, that we will have a much better chance to get some great photos because I highly doubt we'll experience that much up and down jostling unless we are trying to take pictures as we are fleeing for our lives from a stampeding rhino....haha
If they do this right, one could REALLY get some really great photos. But, I am wondering where they'll take the guests that wouldn't put them in harms way of animals. Let's face it, there is not such thing as a 100% safe wild animal. I'm sure you could even get into trouble with a giraffe
