You can book the safaris 180 days in advance. The Sunrise is offered Sunday and Thursday mornings only. I can't remember which days they do the Wanyama (sunrise) Safari.

We're going on Wanyama on a Wednesday. If you're staying concierge Wednesday evening, you could do the Sunset Safari, and then in the am, the Sunrise Safari.

We are doing Waynama on a Monday, but the previous suggestion about staying a Wednesday night is the best solution. You can book the Sunset for that night and the sunrise for Thursday.

Please tell me more about the sunset safari. How much? What do you do? I'd really appreciate hearing your review afterwards. Thanks.

Here's the info from Deb Will's site www.allearsnet.com I believe the price for Adults is now $160. This is the only safari that travels in AKL/AKV's savannas.

Concierge guests at Animal Kingdom Lodge can sign up for a very special evening called the Sunset or "Wanyama" Safari. Up to 8 people can ride in specially designed vans around the lodge's savannas! The van stops and you get lots of photo opportunities of the animals and birds. An Animal Kingdom Lodge animal guide is on the van with you to offer information and answer questions.

Afterwards, you have a wonderful dining experience at Jiko.

Guests must be 8 years of age or older.

The price for the experience is $150 per adult (ages 10 and up); $75 per child ages 8-9, tax and gratuity included.

Hours: Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays about 1 1/2 hours before sunset at the lodge's Porte Cochere.

48-hour cancellation policy.

If you are staying at AKL concierge and have the funds in your budget, don't pass this one up!

I had to guarantee this with a CC # but it will be put on our room charges during the stay

You can also do the sunset safari on a Sat afternoon and then the sunrise on a Sunday morning if you are staying concierge on Sat night.
