Wild Africa Trek at Animal Kingdom

Posted on January 31, 2011February 23, 2017 by Ian C.

We’ve been to Animal Kingdom many times, and I’ve always wished there was some sort of “backstage” tour to get closer to the Safari animals – and now there is! Margaret & I went on Wild Africa Trek with Joanne & Earle today, and had an excellent three hours in a small group with great guides, and some unusually close animal experiences …

Everyone is dressed in a safety harness; there’s a few bridges to cross, and they also use the harnesses to keep us not-too-close to the Hippos and Crocodiles! And then we’re off to see animals both on foot and on a truck – with lunch in the “savannah” with Giraffe and Elephants!

Separate to the “trek”, I also got some pictures of a Tiger, and Mickey Mouse!

Winter in Florida

Less snow (well, none actually), and lots more warmth! But the pool is below 60 so its not really time to go in the water!

Dinner for one

Driving back to 8002 after a day of Disney (Downtown Disney in the morning, then all three Mountains at Magic Kingdom!), I spotted a newly opened Indian Restaurant so decided to grab some take-out and try it …

I got Chicken Korma and a Peshwari Naan – the Korma was very good but the Naan lacked flavor and was missing it’s expected almond paste; but still, enjoying dinner outside with 80 degree temperatures on an October evening is pretty nice 🙂

It’ll be cooler tomorrow – I fly back home where it’s only about 50 degrees right now!
