Savor the Savanna — Attraction in Bay Lake

We came on our honeymoon and this experience was SUCH a great idea for couples! They were almost all other couples on the tour with us. We took the 4:30pm one so by the time we were done, the park had closed and it was actually really great being able to snag some pictures on our way out without all the crowds. The evening sun over the savanna landscape with all the animals felt intimate and beautiful. We absolutely LOVED it.

The guide was super knowledgeable and kind. He added so much to the experience and was able to answer all of our questions. He seems like he genuinely loves what he does, and that just emanated into the entire vibe of the experience. We did this at the start of our honeymoon which was almost two weeks ago so I regretfully forgot his name, but 6/5 stars for him!

I'm also gonna be that "TMI" person in Google reviews and just say it because I'm sure there are people out there wondering (I was) - I have IBS and I was super nervous about doing this tour, but yes, it was fine, I promise! There are bathrooms in the building you stop at, and the 2nd half of the tour is super brief. It didn't end up being an issue for me at all.

The beginning part of the tour lasted about 30-40 minutes, but it felt more like 15 because you're so distracted by the animals and scenery around you. After about 20-30ish minutes, we had stopped for about 10 minutes of Q&A with one of the nearby animal keepers. The building with food had fans to help keep us cool, bathrooms, water bottle refill station, great views, great food, and great drinks... or maybe it was the drinks that made everything feel so great? Haha just kidding! After spending about an 1-1.5 hours in the building, the 2nd half of the tour basically takes you straight out and lasted about 10 minutes.

The entire experience was amazing and definitely worth the money. I wouldn't really recommend this for children because it seemed more romantic/intimate. Absolutely do this if you're honeymooning at Disney though! It was super cute and fun! We even got the cutest coasters to keep as souvenirs at the end...

A very enjoyable experience. My daughter and I had a great time on the short safari and snack excursion. Like the rest of the Disney parks and attractions, it’s hard to say if it was ‘worth’ the almost $200 price tag, however it was a great experience and one we will never forget. It thrills me to know my daughter had a wonderful time and was very thankful. I think if you have the means and want a more private and personal safari experience without going to Africa, I’d recommend going on the Savor the Savanna tour.

Started with an introduction of the guide, driver and some background on the zoo designation of Animal Kingdom, as that’s its secondary purpose. Similar to the general Safari attraction ride, passengers ride in a a truck and meander through the habitats. However, the vehicle is much smaller and the dedicated guide provides more insight on the animals and living arrangements. We also had a long stop to see several giraffes and speak with one of the caretakers. Very informative. After about 30 minutes, we had a delicious African themed charcuterie snack with beverages and desert. There was plenty for everyone although I would have liked more time to enjoy myself. The setting overlooking the savanna habitat was beautiful as it was later in the day, however not quite sunset. The tour continued through the attraction and more animals until we arrived back at the...

My Savor the Savanna Tour was so much fun! On the tour Disney takes you behind the scenes of their safari area and you get to see the sights at a much slower pace allowing you to ask lots of questions. We were gathered into a large car and we were driven to an area with the giraffe out and about. Our guide was so knowledgeable and I learned so many things I never knew. After we asked all our questions we were driven to a large hut in the middle of the savanna where Disney had prepared many different food and drink options. Everything was so tasty. After we enjoyed our food there was a bridge that we walked to a viewing area to see more of the sights. Once we had taken pictures and got our additional questions answered they took us back in our car and completed the tour. At the end we were given a memento to remind us of our fun filled day. I'd highly recommend this experience and look forward to booking it again...
