New Animal Kingdom tour...or is it?

[dvcbeachclub]

Awfully familiar to the "Backstage Safari"
how can they tout this as a new experience?
This is already happening..as a matter of fact we did this tour last year AND at that time the moeny we paid for it went to the conservation fund


from Dinsey parks Blog:
If you’ve ever wanted to venture off the beaten path and farther into the Kilimanjaro Safaris Expedition savannah, you’ll have a chance later this year. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park will be offering a new, immersive experience that’ll take a small group of Guests on personalized, guided treks along some unexplored areas of the Harambe Reserve.

During the excursions, you’ll be able to spend more time observing the wildlife on the savannah and have a chance to learn about the animals and their behaviors from one of our Disney guides. Adventurers will also trek through an undeveloped forest area of the Harambe Reserve and then board a unique vehicle specially designed for the rest of the quest.

Walt Disney Imagineers are still working on many of the details but we wanted to share the news with you first. Reservations for this specially priced tour won’t begin until later this year, so keep checking back for more details.

Sounds like they are going to take you to North Savannah. That is an area, as far as I know, that has never been open to guest.

We of course would have to wait for someone who has done both to compare, but I think if they were going to highlight the animal care areas they would do so more than the "unexplored" areas of Harambe.

I get the impression that you won't actually be visiting the backstage areas, and this will be a more intimate version of Kilimanjaro Safaris.
