Kilimanjaro Safaris after Dark: The Kilimanjaro Safaris daytime is artfully bathed in the glow of sunset with special lighting allowing guests to explore this attraction well into the night. During the expedition, guests can now encounter the nighttime behavior of the wildlife and better tune in to the unique vocalization of the animals. Plus, there are two new species to discover: African wild dogs and hyenas.
The Jungle Book: Alive with Magic: The Discovery River becomes the stage for music and pageantry in a limited-engagement show inspired by the live-action film “The Jungle Book.”
Harambe Wildlife Parti: Harambe village will host the new Harambe Wildlife Parti with a variety of entertainers and local street musicians.
The “Rivers of Light” will eventually open, no date has yet been set by Disney. The show, as previously described by Disney “will depict an ancient lantern festival guided by two storytellers who call forth four animal Spirit Guides: an Asian Tiger, Tropical Turtle, African Elephant and Great Horned Owl. These Spirit Guides return at different points during the show to lead the audience through their journey through the Rivers of Light.”
