Hiya pals! The Lion King taught us that Hakuna Matata means ‘no worries’, and this problem-free philosophy has been extended to the new Safari-inspired desserts that are now available at Sanaa. We were recently able to stop by this popular restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and found the all-new lineup of desserts to be wilder than a cheetah chase across the savanna! Inspired by the amazing animals that call the savanna home, these treats are a feast for the eyes and the taste buds.

First up is the majestic Giraffe Tower Mousse. This towering beauty features layers of banana cake, peanut butter mousse, and banana mousse, all drizzled with decadent caramel. The real star of the show, though, is the Tanzanian peanut brittle crunch that adds a delightful textural contrast. It’s like taking a safari across a flavor landscape!

Next, we ventured into the world of everyone’s favorite meerkat and warthog duo with the Timon Grubs. This playful dessert is perfect for younger adventurers. It features a base of banana pastry cream, topped with a mountain of whipped cream, sliced bananas, and the pièce de résistance: adorable graham cracker bugs, gummy worms, and chocolate rocks! It’s a fun and flavorful way for kids to join the dessert safari.

Our safari continued with the intriguing Ankole Cake. This decadent dessert features a spiced chocolate cake, perfect for those who love a kick with their sweetness. The cake is then layered with delightful baobab curd, a unique African fruit with a tangy twist. Coconut gel adds a refreshing element, while meringue horns and STARR African Rum-macerated citrus provide a touch of elegance and Caribbean flair. It’s a truly adventurous combination of flavors!

Next, we encountered the Wilde-best Wildebeest. This flourless chocolate cake is a dream for any chocolate enthusiast. Dense and decadent, the cake is beautifully complemented by a pool of milk chocolate custard. To add a delightful textural surprise, the dish is finished with chocolate fudge-coated cocoa nibs. It’s a rich and satisfying tribute to the mighty wildebeest.

Finally, we cooled down with the Black Sesame Sundae. This unique offering features black sesame ice cream, a flavor that’s becoming increasingly popular. The ice cream is then complemented by roasted spiced pineapple, adding a touch of tropical warmth. Tea caramel provides a hint of sweetness, while milk crumble and raspberry crisps add delightful textural contrasts. It’s a refreshing and unexpected twist on a classic dessert.
