One of the activities will be a Kilimanjaro Safaris Virtual Reality experience.  After guests have their welcome reception, then will board a train to Rafiki’s Planet Watch for a 360 degree safari experience.  The experience is only available for guests who participate in Circle of Flavors: Harambe at Night!

There will be amazing food and beverage options throughout the evening.  The welcome reception in Harambe will include meat pies, Durban chips and dip, and a hand-selected array of meats and cheeses as well as Harambellini, a specialty beverage featuring sparkling South African wine blended with a bright burst of passion fruit, orange, and guava juices.  Kids will be able to enjoy options like cheese, fruit and Tofaa, which is chocolate caramel-dipped green apples.

After the welcome reception, guests board the train to Rafiki’s Planet Watch where the VR experience will be offered, as well as character experiences with Timon and Rafiki and more great food and beverage offerings.  There will be offerings like spiced crisp plaintains, South African oat and coconut bars, and Sundowner Safari Mix with spiced nuts and dried fruit.
