Circle of Flavors: Harambe at Night is returning to Animal Kingdom this December

Circle of Flavors: Harambe at Night is returning to the Animal Kingdom this December! Reservations are open starting TODAY for events beginning December 4th, 2019. 

Disney announced an all-new dining adventure earlier this year called Circle of Flavors: Harambe at Night. This event is a family-friendly progressive dining experience that draws inspiration from African cultures. Guests will get to celebrate the beloved story of “The Lion King” while also honoring endangered African animals through delicious flavors, fun activities, live music, and appreciation for animal conservation. 

You will enjoy a welcome reception at the train station in Harambe before hopping aboard and journeying to Rafiki’s Planet Watch. You will have the opportunity to enjoy a virtual reality 360-degree safari experience! This special experience is only available during Circle of Flavors: Harambe at Night. You will get to be up close and personal with your amazing hosts, the African lions. 


You will also be able to indulge in a variety of food and beverages throughout the entire experience.  During the welcome reception at the Harambe Train Station, you can munch on things like meat pies, Durban chips and dip, and an array of meats and cheeses. You can also sip on the specialty beverage featuring South African wine blended with passion fruit, orange, and guava juices. 

Once you head to Rafiki’s Planet Watch, don’t miss out on the VR experience and meet and greets with Timon and Rafiki. Here you can enjoy crispy plantains, Sundowner Safari Mix,  the Chief’s Shandy (Tusker beer with lemonade, and much more!
