| AFRICA SECTION TUSKER HOUSE IN THE BACKGROUND |
Right after the bridge to the left on Discovery Island are two of my favorite things... Tusker House and the new building that houses Festival of The Lion King. Both are on my list of favorites. Keep in mind to do both in one day is a good 2 hours of your day gone! You can check out my food reviews for Tusker House and I will tell you a little about FOTHLK now.
Festival of the Lion King is a live action show. It is composed of mostly singing, dancing, and acrobatics. It is loud and you will be sitting in a tight space. The theater is an octagon type shape with four sides for seating and the other four are an exit and entrances for both people and the show. It is about a half hour long and hot in the room I think due to all the people sitting so close together. It is worth it and should be done at least once by anyone who likes any of the above mentioned things.

Another of everyone's favorites is located here in the Africa section. The Safari Ride. This is a great adventure through many different terrains that lets you view all types of animals in their fake natural habitats lol. It really is very well done. I highly recommend this ride. I recommend going at dawn or dusk during the hotter months and in the middle of the day for the cooler ones. I will admit that although some animals like the crocodiles always seem to be in the same place the rest you never know where or if you will see them. Here are a couple of pics from a two different trips because like I said it's different every time.

Another great thing for younger than teen sized kids and all aged animal or science lovers is Rafiki's Planet Watch. After you get off the Safari to your left or if you skip the Safari it's on your right, there is a train that you can ride to conservation station. This is a petting zoo type are that also houses a veterinary center and science exhibit. My kids love this section. We don't do it every time because they will easily spend 2-3 hours here. So we only stop in on long trips where we get to do AK twice! Here are some pics of that.

There is one other big thing in Africa. That is the Wild Africa Trek. Here you will see an amazing array of birds, some animals from the safari, and my favorite the silver back gorillas. There is of course more than that but those are my top three. My son would probably say the house with all the bugs was his favorite! This is another do it yourself thing and it can go as quick as 20 mins or as long as 2 hours depending on how much time you want to spend on each part of the trek!
Here a few last pictures from Africa and remember you could literally spend an easy 6 hours just in Africa!
