While visiting Africa with renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall would be the ultimate safari, Disney and The Jane Goodall Institute are offering a trip that’s closer to home for most. A special VIP trip with Jane Goodall at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is being offered from Feb. 18 to 21, 2011.
For $8,500 per adult and $7,500 per child (ages seven and up), guests will be treated like a VIP during their long weekend stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. The trip includes three-day admission to the Walt Disney World theme parks, select meals, hotel and transportation. And of course, some VIP tours at Animal Kingdom park and a chance to meet Jane.
Here are some of the highlights:
• Meet Jane at the Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom for a special photo opportunity before the park opens.
• Kilamanjaro Sunrise Safari
• A campfire chat with Jane at Animal Kingdom Lodge
• Join Jane and some Disney characters for a private breakfast at Jiko
• Talk with animal keepers as you visit the Animal Nutrition Center, explore the veterinary hospital and other backstage facilities in the Backstage Safari Tour
• Special Festival of the Lion King farewell dinner
• Optional Wild Africa Trek Experience
If you’d like to sign up, you’ll need to do so by Jan. 14. Space is limited.

Wow, at those prices, part or most of the fee had better be a charitable donation to the Jane Goodall Institute!
