Disney's Animal Kingdom® Park New Safari Tour

It's great that people will have the opportunity to spend more time checking out the exhibit; however, I hope it's not too gimmicky and they don't mess too much with the natural look and feel of it.
 
The official Disney Parks Blog only has this to say so far:

"If you’ve ever wanted to venture off the beaten path and farther into the Kilimanjaro Safaris Expedition savannah, you’ll have a chance later this year. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park will be offering a new, immersive experience that’ll take a small group of Guests on personalized, guided treks along some unexplored areas of the Harambe Reserve.

During the excursions, you’ll be able to spend more time observing the wildlife on the savannah and have a chance to learn about the animals and their behaviors from one of our Disney guides. Adventurers will also trek through an undeveloped forest area of the Harambe Reserve and then board a unique vehicle specially designed for the rest of the quest.

Walt Disney Imagineers are still working on many of the details but we wanted to share the news with you first. Reservations for this specially priced tour won’t begin until later this year, so keep checking back for more details."
 
That is some abosolutely great news, we can finally take at Kilmanjaro a little longer.
 
It's not that great news - you have to pay extra for it (and the park is already overpriced as is).
 
I would guess that this new safari tour will cost at least US$75 on top of entry.

This three-hour guided tour will include:

Trekking with experienced guides through areas of Harambe Wildlife Reserve that aren’t explored during regular Disney’s Animal Kingdom experiences.

Navigating through fern and vine forests on a bushwalk.

Clipping into a harness attached to a safety line, crossing a rope bridge over the Safi River and cliff-hanging at the edge of gullies that are home to hippos and crocodiles.

Experiencing the thrill of “over-landing” in customized open-air vehicles following the edge of a wide-open savanna.

Unwinding from an unforgettable adventure at a private safari camp for wildlife viewing. At this station elevated above the savanna, guests will savor sample tastes of Africa.
 
I take back the great news part now, if the park wasn't overpriced enough, now you have to pay admission and the $189 reservation. Way to expensive for me.
