Tusker House Restaurant


imagesLocated in the Harambe Village in the heart of Africa is the Tusker House Restaurant – a fabulous family-style buffet that offers classic american fare infused with exotic African influences. Step into the colorful African Marketplace with rustic walls, flowing fabrics overhead and rugs hanging from the banisters. With it being one of the only two table service dining options located in the park and offering character dining for breakfast and lunch, Tusker House has become a favorite of the sit-down dining choices.

imagesIf character dining is what you are seeking, Tusker House Restaurant is the only character dining in the Animal Kingdom and you can have either breakfast or lunch at Donald’s Dining Safari with Donald, Daisy, Mickey and Goofy.  As you dine, the characters will make their way to your table for photos, autographs and memories to take home with you.

tusker-house-restaurant-00While dinner doesn’t have the character dining, it does an abundant all-you-care-to-enjoy buffet which includes dishes such as hearty stews, spit-roasted top sirloin and chicken, Kenyan coffee pork, unique vegetarian options and sides that seem to stretch forever.  And for those kids who snarl at the sound of “curry,” there are even kid options like corn dog nuggets, mac and cheese and a PB&J station too.

imagesFor the adults, there are several choices of African beer and wine during lunch and dinner and there are even mixed drinks like the margaritas, mojitos and, fan-favorite, the Lost on Safari rum and pangani punch concoction.  If you have a little wait before your reservation, the Dawa Bar is right in front for great libations.
