Grand Gathering Safari Dinner

[GoingtoSeeRella]

Does anyone know what nights they offer this? Does anyone have a review? Is it worth it?? It's kind of expensive, but seems fun!

I found this a while back:

AllEars has a good section on this:

As I recall 2 nights a week were typical and 3rd was sometimes added, but I'm not a good source on that.

You must do this and will love it.In the past we have done this and it is usually done on Sun. and Thurs. It is the best experience. Everyone loved it. It has been a few years but would love to do it again. The safari is the same as the ride except they truck stops to allow for pictures. We were even allowed to stand abit to get the shot. The CM gave tons more information as well. The food was great, a little better than Boma we thought. Food was all brought to the table. We were seated at a table of 8 with our grand gathering name cards on the table. The kids we invited up to play with African insturments and dance along with the music.They brought some little animals in cages (spiders and such) for the kids to see and touch just outside the dining area. The characters meet with everyone for photos and such at the end. You do get to exit the park as it is empty and we were allowed to take pictures and CM's were along the path that offered to take many pictures of us with our camera. I would do this again in a heart beat just have a problem with getting 8 people as there are only 4 of us.

What did the kids think of the food? We might have some pretty picky eaters. Any mac & cheese or chicken fingers/nuggets?

I can not remember, I did go back and get the menu we were given and there was a roasted chicken on there ( Spit Roasted Tandori Chicken) and Prime Rib ( Berbere Spice Crusted Prime Rib from the Rotisserie). There was a basket of breads, roasted potatoes , Salmon, Lamb Stew and a great salad with dijon Balsamic Binaigrette Dressing. I do remember the family with us was worried and seems like they did bring their son some kids plate but I think he ended up eating them out of prime rib. The meats were to die for and the chocolate cake was too. If you have been to Boma or Tusker House for dinner it is the same type food just better.
