Wild Africa Trek

[jwo1976]

So we booked our annual trip to the Epcot Food & Wine Festival for the last weekend in October. (New tradition for us) Hopefully going to add MNSSHP to the itenerary. We are also looking at doing the Wild Africa Trek at AK. Has anyone done this yet? I would love to get some feedback on how it is.

I did it the first day they offered it- excellent tour for the introductory price of $129. If the rumor is true that your price (in Oct) will be $249 it's way overpriced in my opinion.

There are 12 guests per tour plus 2 guides. On my tour there were 3 couples and the other six were solo (left spouse at home or at the resort). I went solo - left fiance at the resort. It's a 3 hour tour and the highlights are up-close viewing of hippos & crocodiles, 2 fun rope bridges and a safari truck where you got to stop for photos. The food/snack was sort of weird stuff - I didn't like most of it & most people just picked at it. It was presented very well, and the trek was alot of fun. I know I wouldn't do it for $249 and I'd have to really think about it at the $189 price it's going to in late Feb....that's starting to get into the "crazy" price range for this tour.

if you listen to the dis-unlugged podcast, they did a nice piece on it in a recent episode
