Booking Wanyama Safari

[smcbelle]

We currently have a reservation for an Animal Kingdom Jambo villa. We're not Club Level.

I'd like to make a reservation for the Wanyama Safari. All of the information that I've found says I need to book it via the IPO office or Club Concierge. Is the Wayama Safari only available for Club Level guests? I thought I saw somewhere that it was available to all AKL guests (Club Level and non-Club Level), but now I can't figure out where I read that!

Help!

You do need to contact the IPO even though you aren't club level. It's available for all AKL/V guests. Just tell them you need to check availability/book for the Wanyama. I have done it 2 times. It's amazing!
