Dance along to the sounds of Africa with the Burudika Band. No need to arrive early.

Hear this vibrant African band composed of Harambe’s finest musicians, who fill the marketplace with lively, infectious rhythms of Afro-pop. “Burudika” is Swahili for “to be refreshed” so refresh, join the street party!

Oasis – on right just past Stroller rentals

  • Length of show: 20 minutes
  • Seating: NONE
  • Fastpass+:  NO
  • Schedule:  Character Locator

DiVine is not your ordinary run-of-the-mill, ten-foot tall plant. In fact, DiVine is really performance artist Priscilla Blight who has brought her expressive talents to Disneys Animal Kingdom. Priscilla cleverly conceals herself in a towering, hand-made foliage costume. It is only when she moves that guests realize they are not looking at nature but at DiVine. DiVine does NOT sign autographs.

*Due to her excellent camoflauge she is very difficult to spot. It will help to see a Character Attendant standing on the trail.

  • DiVine moves very slowly
  • She is on stilts, so be careful moving around her
  • She does not sign autographs, but is willing to pose for photos

Festival of the Lion King InformationFestival of the Lion King

Africa: Harambe Theater

  • Length of show: 30 minutes

Many guests consider this show as their favorite show. It is a can’t miss among the shows. There is bright colorful costumes, daring aerialists, fantastic vocalists and the tumble monkeys!.

During busy seasons arrive at least 15-20 minutes early as the show is very popular.

You will be divided into 4 sections: the elephants, the giraffes, the warthogs and the lions. Ask the seating Cast Member if you wish to sit in a specific section. I also recommend shows later in the evening or use FP.

This is a Broadway quality production that will leave you thinking that all those original songs were actually in the movie, but they are not!

Hi Kenny, which of these 2 shows would you recommend using my FP+ ? We want to see Lion King before or after lunch at Tusker (11AM or 2PM), and see Nemo's last show (at 4PM) I read that Nemo can seat 1500 ppl.

There's plenty of seating for each show. Benefit at Nemo is better seats.
